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

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

Dave can deal with the kids.

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.

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

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

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

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.

What a nut job.

Donate it all to a music school..

... he wants to die surrounded buy all his toys ... in 25-30 years.

I want to die aboard one of my toys!

As for what is a nut case - Hey, I resemble that remark.

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.
