...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.
