@bodia , congrats on being able to actually go through with that decision to downsize. I hope to leave that chore to my estate...
I am glad I didn't know you were unloading gear, because I probably would have bought it all from you! You get some really nice instruments into your collection! (Oh, and btw, thanks again for that P245SH you sold me - played it last night at practice, definitely my go-to gigging electric!)
Now I need to scour Reverb to see what pops up...and hopefully resist temptation until I find out our tax bill/refund situation!

You could have gotten some sweet deals, that's for sure! Glad to hear you're still hot on the P245SH!

The main reason I would downsize is so my estate doesn’t have to deal with it.

As I have posted in a couple of other threads, I am selling about three quarters of my gear collection to make the upcoming early retirement of my wife a little more palatable, financially. I, with Sergio's help, had been listing stuff, but it was slow going, and painful to ship off one at a time. I found a couple of places that would buy entire collections, and contacted them a little more than 2 weeks ago. I got two offers back. One about 2 hours away, and the other local (although, with Chicago traffic, still 2 hours away!). I was a little insulted by the place from the out of town location. Their offer was 2/3 of the local place. Plus, the local place line item'd everything out. What they'd offer me, what they would list it at. I dropped off 9 guitars, and an amp there this morning. Best experience I've ever had in a store. No haggling. No "on 2nd thought, we can only give you this much". I was shocked to be out of there in less than an hour. Sure, I was a little melancholy will I was sitting there watching them look over my stuff. Especially when I'd hear some comments about how cool this, or that, guitar was. I had to get up and wander the store.
That turned out to be a mistake. Well, not really! I guess I haven't totally broken my mold. Something I didn't bring to the store, left the store with me.
2013 Tremonti Artist Pack. Braz board and neck. I COULD NOT pass up a Pattern Thin RW neck. I love that neck shape, but don't have a WT or PT in the remainder of the stable. It's been played, and has some honest battle scars, but I dig it....A LOT! Besides, after all I went through today, I deserved a nice Valentine's Day present. Happy Valentine's Day to me!
I have to say, yanking the bandage off was better than the paper cuts I had been getting doing one at a time. It hurts to leave them behind, but it was easier this way. I felt some relief as I got in my truck and pulled away. Now, I gotta do it all again on Monday. Think I'll take a book along to read, instead of browsing their store!
I'd say that's a good day! Karma looking down at you? Ya can't be totally upset about seeing them go when you get this back, right?

Yeah... I took a little hit on the 3 I got rid of to make up for the Private Stock 408, the Brian's run 509 Wood Library Artist swamp ash, and the guitar still on order with Moore's: Fire Red Burst Artist Package Special 22 Semi-Hollow that Paul signed "Happy retirement, Will" on... Can't wait for #3 to get here!!!!!!,
Glad you found someone to give you a decent collection price!!!!!!

Can’t wait to see the Special 22! Those three make a pretty stellar trio IMO.

Wow! That’s a lot to go through (emotionally and the chore of selling)! Now you need to list with photos what you kept
