   Guys , i've been trying to negotiate a band trailer from my pal , Cranston Clements ... (quite a hot guitar player around here, probably the Best in the city )   Here's a pic.

 At first I was going to trade him my old '70 Gibson 175D  for the trailer , which he wanted 750USD for , then I found out what these were going for on Flea Bay ...  Shocked Shocked Shocked      Quickly changed my proposal to cash , which also worked ...  We  Gotta' be CAREFUL , about some of these "deals" we make ...    Had I learned this ex post facto , I might have felt "burned"...  That would be bad...  Facepalm

   Like the old Blues Brothers ... " I traded the Caddy for a microphone "    Shocked Roll Eyes Tongue   ROTF

  Really , what an Idiot !!!   Facepalm .... I've had the guitar for years (paid 600USD for it 20 years ago) , don't play it  (more a Jazz guitar)  so it was a logical trade... till I found out what it was worth ...  Embarrassed

    Point is , check your gears value before doing anything DUMB , as I almost did ...  Facepalm

Definitely that would've been a bad trade.  You should hold out for some 'magic beans'...

i was scrollin through the forum and found this thread and i thought.

hmmmm... the guy didn't actualy make the trade, so he's not really an idiot by those standards.

now if i told you about some of the trades i've made in the past, then  you would know that it's my pic in the dictionary next to the word @#$%tard

Hey, if you're going to list it there you might as well list it here, too.

I once sold a mint neck-thru Carvin Tele for $300.  It was that or lose my truck and consequently my job, but I still regret it.

In my first year of playing guitar I bought my friend's Kustom amp for $200 because I wanted a tube amp.

After the purchase, I looked it up and realized that not only did I pay full price, but it wasn't even a tube amp  Facepalm
