But.....I found a way to justify, selling at lower prices....

This past week I sold several of my musical gear items...Stuff that I liked, but some stuff I seldom use (even though I like it)..

Sold, and in transit to a new home...My MediaStation...other items, my Boss SE50 (multi effects), and a Sound Canvas....some at prices I would never have sold...but I found the secret to accepting less money...I gave the money to some folks that needed a hand..

So how does this help "losing" money.....the over all outcome is like the TV commercial... "Priceless"...so really I got a fortune for my stuff...

Fran, that’s the nicest thing I have read in a while.

Way to go, Fran. Hope some others will be able to follow your example. So happy to see you haven't been affected by hanging out with the 'wrong crowd' . Merry Christmas.

PS: You still owe me lunch.

Bless you, you are truly a very very rich person. Lloyd

Very kind of you, Fran. A noble gesture to be sure.

How do you lose money On gear you made money with ?

BTW: Yesterday I played a holiday party for my daughter's 1st grade "special ed" class..She is the teacher..

I had breakfast with my friend Kath that morning and talked her into helping me (singer)..

The gig paid ...no money..just cookies and apple juice...

Entering the class, I got the biggest welcome...all the kids greeting me with hi-fives, and smiles..

We opened with a "hip hop" beat .."Jingle bells"..

It was a great hour show..teachers, parents and kids all had a great time...

Reason why I am mentioning it here on this post...One of the kids...a cute little blonde girl, turned out to be one of the people we helped ..She was one of the kids that need financial help (gifts), clothes , toys etc.....The family is on very hard times.. I didn't know she would be there, but she was the highlight of my day, with a hug goodbye..

... nothing better than that feeling, Fran ...

Gotta love those hugs and kisses from the kids - it makes it all worthwhile.

... yeah, but based on the photos you posted the kids YOU are talking about are in their 20s and 30s ...
