damn, i've spent around $3K on guitars and friggin' what to show for it!
but i think the re-sale value of the stuff i have is about 2.5K, which is alright.
hopefully it appreciates in value! lol. i'm sure the strat would... in about 30 years. :D

buying stuff is really fun. soft is a great website to troll and learn from. and with the volume of buy/ sell there there's all sorts of stuff to get. researching and reading reviews is pretty fascinating. then imagining, then deciding, then spotting, then bargaining, then meeting, then testing, then taking home. without this second hand market i think i'd be buying stuff at like 1/10th the pace i do now, and what a pity that'd be! :P

next in this series - precious memories about the stuff. stay tuned! :)
