You know what? I am re-thinking this process.. smile

I like my stuff, and selling off bits and pieces, won't do any good. frown

Dave can deal with the kids. grin

Reading the other post, I realize the music gear is only part of liquidation.... I was a contractor and have tons of tools and equipment.. that serves me and the kids better by being available now if needed..

Besides ... what if I live to be 95+ like most of my Carango side. shocked

That's 20 plus more years to play with my toys.. smile

Makes too much sense to keep on doing what I am doing.... Let me see what deals Sweetwater has today..... wink

Nothing is for sale.... NOW!!! smirk

Haha, sounds like Fran couldn’t do it it either.

I bit the bullet and sold off 35 of my teddy bears from my collection, (much to hubby’s delight. ) Best part is , I pretty much got back what I paid for them , which is novel, considering how much I always lost on sale of keyboards. I’m 4K richer. Yeh.
Lucky there’s no Genos dealers around here, make a nice down payment on one.
Have to keep reminding myself I HAVE to downsize.

I have no problem getting rid if my stuff. My rule is; if you are not using get rid of it. Then use the dollars to buy another toy.

I owned and sold two D’Angelico guitar and three D’Aquesto guitars before their values soared; for those who are not familiar with guitar todays values for the above instruments would worth more than enough for a man to retire comfortably. One of my guitars brought enough dollars to buy a new Dodge SUV.

Wow look at the money I have lost –No, what a great time I have been having.
