I dont know what it is about me, but it pertains to everything I do. Basically, I love used stuff.
Weather it be cars, guitars, my house for example, I love things that need work. At the moment Im talking about guitars... there was just a Red Rhoads Professional on eBay I was eyeing up... trying to get the seller to sell it to me a little cheaper than he had it listed for. It didnt sell the first time around, and he relisted it $30 cheaper and now its gone. Granted, I still wouldnt really have paid that much for it, but none the less, I was really sad to see it bought.
They way I think is... anyone can go out and buy something new. But to me, thats no fun. I like to take something that needs some work, maybe has been neglected, and make it better than it ever was, make it mine... I think thats what REALLY gives it "mojo" if you will. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Put some work into it and say "look, I did this". When I go to the guitar stores, I go to the used section first. Sure saving money is a good thing, but its not about that... and usually in the end, you could have bought a new one for what you have put into it, but as I said earlier, what fun is that? There was an SL2H on eBay that someone here was selling... had some good chips in it, but I loved it... more than the new one that was right beside it on eBay.
I know some people are the exact oposite... would rather have something brand new and not touch it. When I buy something, its usually for life, and I dont ever plan on getting rid of it... I guess its like adopting a stray pet... to give it a good home and treat it right for the rest of its life.
Or maybe Im just nuts and think into things way too much... either way... [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]
