Perhaps because I haven't been playing as long as they have or been in the music industry as long as them, but I feel that when you buy something, you should keep it. Perhaps I'm being a hypocrite or self-serving bias, because as we all know I recently bought a Mesa with the intention of either trading it in or selling for the same price after experimenting it for a few weeks, but I decided I'm going to keep it. I've also wanted to try a 2x12, but if I liked it, I'd keep it, because I'm not getting rid of the Vader. I've also gone through quite a few guitars, but never truly wanted to sell them (except the starter). All the sales of the guitars went to funding a new one, just like my RG550 is now. I had the intention of keeping it and I probably still would, but I had an obligation; and you can bet my Caparison(s) will never be sold.
I don't know, it just makes me angry when I see people buy new gear and know that it'll be on the block a few weeks from then, and probably for an inflated price. I see people like NGD! every few weeks, "this one is a keeper for sure", "hoping this one is the one"...and then they were like "oh yeah sold that" in no time flat, in a period that I would have just been adjusting to the damn guitar--I'm still getting used to my Caparison! Maybe it's the time playing issue again...
I think I now know what zimbloth and everyone were saying that when you buy a new piece of gear make sure you like it and won't need to sell it back. (only thing is, how can I try a BKP?) Probably just me and me being a moron...at almost midnight...
