It has nothing to do with Sin City. Anybody can buy what they want within reason if they plan it into their budget. Mine has included Reos on the top of that list this past year, with no family to care for left I have gave Reos priority. In fact it's been been a long time since I've even been in a big casino, pretty sure late 2002/2003. Too many tourists in the big casinos, as a local I have my own watering holes. Just seeing a new day is a big enough gamble for me now days. I remember about when because I took a gal pal to the private dinner party/first performance I was invited to just before Bill Pinkney (the last active original member) and The Drifter's relaunched the reformed group with yet some more new members. It was a fun night with a long performance during cocktails, and another after an exceptional dinner with another cocktail hour. As a close friend of the host we also spent a bunch of time with them backstage. We were remembering the era's in music they had sung through since the early 50's, them jumping into some of the forgotten songs along the way. My lady friend was too young to even know who there were, but she had a good time anyway.
But a problem with buying so many so fast is what appealed to me the most has changed 2-3 times during the year. And it doesn't help either that I have narrowed my list of ADV's way down as well. So I really don't need all these Reos, I have some Reos I'm not using at all, some I seldom use and lots of atty's I don't use. It comes down to separating needs from wants that is a problem for me when it comes to Reos. I have a couple of favorite models now that I like better and use more than the others, same with the atty's. I want more of them (even though I don't really need them) and maybe less of the others. How to get from here to there is what I am pondering right now since I am not a fan of the classifieds here. I have been thinking about putting some with extras up for trade in the trade thread here. Trying to figuring out how to even up trades for specific new favored models bought/sent from Rob to me is one way. That would have the added benefit of generating some sales for him as well, an important point to me, so hopefully a triple win if they could be worked out. Trades for pristine used if they have them would also work 'cause all I am interested in have the new 510's so can't be very old. Almost all of mine are new too except for the older Woodvil's, OG VV Grand and OG Mini. Maybe for some extra special 2015 Woodvil's would work too since some are turning up for resale already. The answers to which ones and what for what is not an easy one though. Trades have to work for both sides.
I learned a very long time ago that when you pass up an opportunity that presents itself, that's at least one more that you probably will not ever experience again in your life. Any opportunity can turn into a life long one that turns out to be the best opportunity that you ever had. I can't imagine how much less my wonderful life would have been without the two exceptional ladies I shared the most important years of it with. The odds were a billion to one that our paths would have ever crossed, but luckily we didn't miss the one shot extremely small window of opportunity when it did.
Sounds like you have many good memories of Vegas and had lots of fun. I can understand the priority list as I don't have any significant other, or children to take of either. Most of the money I clears goes on bills and taxes.Trying to eliminate spending so I can buy more Reo's. as well.
Don't know about the trading on the Classifieds. I do know Buying from it is usually legit. I got Han Solo two months ago, and just love the new, adjustable 510. I do lots of juice testing and can adjust it to the short center pins on dripper (non BF) atomizers. Gonna send Chewie to the spa for the upgrade because I can't use it with the testers... unless I pull the center pin out a little bit ...which is inconvenient.
Will take your advice on the opportunities in life. I try to take them as they occur, but sometimes... you have to weigh and balance everything for the better.
Tracey. Tracey. Tracey. You're the first lady I've heard complain about a man pulling a "giant tube out of his pocket".
...jus had to say it.
