....amazingly, I have two offers from readers here for the pistol, and
even more amazing, they both made the same $$$ offer.

This is easy; maybe I'll start a conglomerate by also opening a used
musical instrument store. :)

(Just a joke, R...)

I happen to like having a conglomerate. I am the big gahoona, the sales and
marketing department, senior buyer, the accounting department, webmaster,
telephone receptionist, the stock room clerk and the rest room maintenance
technician.

Seriously, I am really enjoying this experience. Unlike my past, very
specialized career, this thing exposes me to all kinds of people and their
styles and personalities. I am getting a big kick out of it.
Engineers are basically all the same, but musicians, musician wannabe's and
general shoppers are something else.

A guy called me today about a Taylor 12-string I have. Said he saw it on
the website and he's seen many guitars just like it for a lot less money, so
would I knock off a few hundred.

I asked him if they were the same guitar ... a Taylor 355.

He didn't know. He said the ones he saw just looked a lot like the one I
have.

He was dead serious. I told him that he should buy the cheapest one he can
find.

I thought of you the other day. I happened to channel surfing before I fell
asleep and came across some new "reality" show, sorta based on the Orange
County Chopper series, except this one is a family that run a pawn shop. It
was pretty funny.

You do a good job of weeding out the crank calls and tele-marketers....

Hadn't heard about that one.

Pawn shops are great for finding rare high quality glass for cameras.

My 500 mm Olympus OM-1 f/3.5 telephoto came from a pawn shop - brand
new, no wear, no fungus on the glass and it had the case.

Paid $200 for it.

Thanks to you...

Fun is fun. I'm writing a speech for a new client. It's for delivery in
late August. When he called, he said I was recommended by a current
client. He wanted to know if I would give him a discount on the first
speech because he "didn't know me." I didn't tell him he should find a
cheaper speech writer. :)

I gave him a discount. It's only my time that's involved. I don't have
to buy goods and resell them for a profit.
