6. Thinking about keeping the baritone.

Look out Tiny Tim.

At the sale, the man had an old large stone ware mixing bowl with 10 bucks or best offer. I offered him 5 for it. He was reluctant and said he'd have to ask his wife. I had already spotted the uke for 20. So, giving him an out on the bowl, I suggested 20 for the two. He jumped on it. I can clear $25 on the bowl real quick. That really gives me the 2 ukes for free. I have the bajo uke in my showcase for $60.
I usually don't really want to keep much that I bought, but dang that old Silvertone is nice.

Last week I bought a Fender Stage Lead, 250 watt 1982 amp in perfect condition for $108 at the Mall I work at. I think I should be able to make a quick 60 or 70 on that one. I work at a large, 38,000 square foot mall with over 300 dealers. I get to see what comes in every day.

I have a ball at my "retirement" job.
