Glad to see someone sees the importance of thinking through things and
scaling back.

Now where's that gear list? Mmm!

The point is, this is the normal selling prices for these items. I'm
not desperate. I wasn't even posting here until someone asked.

I got a bit wigged out about a year ago with goings on at the day job,
drew up a list and then a longer list of gear to liquidate to stay
afloat...added up prices figuring how long I'd be able to survive on
that whilst unemployed.

Well the crisis passed and I thought "you know, even though I'm not
gonna need the cash maybe I ought to scale back, that way I've got less
stuff taking up less room and less stuff sitting around not getting
used."

Then I started really thinking about and realized that once I did
that....I'd just start going "you know, having one more mic pre would
be good, and maybe a compressor or two...then I'd be set". And sooner
or later I'd just be back where I was before.

The downside of this of course being I'd take a hit on depreciation,
only to buy more gear that would again depreciate (well some of the
quality stuff doesn't depreciate that much).

I'm kind of at the point now where I don't buy nearly as much gear,
because:

1. I'm more of an analog guy and even though I have a DAW and some
digital toys, most of that stuff doesn't make me lust after it. There
is not much new gear that give me the gotta haves anymore (well then
again that new budget Telefunken mic....hmmmmmm)

2. I've kind of run out of things to buy and space to store them
in...I've got recording stuff of course, and then live sound stuff,
bass rig stuff, synth collection, etc. I need more gear like I need a
high colonic.

What I have been doing the last two years is selling a lot of my
cheeseball gear on Ebay....other than an Andromeda A6 and a TSR-24 I no
longer have anything that says Alesis, ART, or Digitech on it. The last
of my cheap mic pres are on Ebay as we speak.

So I have a new rule, for every piece of new gear that comes in the
house....two or three pieces of old gear have to leave.

Now the problem is I'm running out of cheeseball stuff to sell..I kind
of enjoyed getting rid of that stuff

Come back when you're more desperate. I don't see any favors here. But
you know where you can get those prices, probably.
