Items for sale

JJones:

As a "devil's advocate" I want to suggest that you NOT sell the equipment. Why not? Because let's say you can get $5,000 for all this (which might be quite high in this economy). What if, instead, you wait while you look for work and look for two jobs?

Now, that might get a strong reaction, but it wasn't uncommon after WWII for people to hold two jobs, at least for a while. Lately, though, it seems that is not even thought of. Maybe in your geographical area it's already common; where I am, it seems not.

Now, the kicker is this: Do you want to have to spend significantly more to get the gear you want down the road? In other words, if you work two jobs and it takes, say, even 6 months to make the $5,000 you would make from selling your gear, but you get to keep your gear, doesn't that put you ahead?? AND you get to keep making music.

Just a thought. I wish you the best of luck.

Bapu, I sent you a message.. did you receive it? Also, I posted over on the gearslutz forum also, here's the link:

Thanks again all..

Thanks man.. I appreciate it..
What part of MI are you from?

Bapu, I sent you a message.. did you receive it?

I received the notice to send a reply to your email address and I received a message that you were wading thru offers. Nothing more after that.

You can reply via my email link in my profile.

I just clicked the "my equip & comp specs" in your signature and followed the links to "contact studio Qoqol" iside there I left you a message.. That was probably the wrong place to click huh? oops..

Nope, I got your message.

I'm gonna have to pass. I wish you the best.

Thanks SteveJL. I know what you mean..

Well guys/gals.. I've finally got all my gear posted with pics and everything over on the GS forum. Please take a look..

TTYS,
Jason

im from a little northern town called mcbain mi.
ill check out the gs site.

Just to help Jason out...

.

I've had great success selling musical instruments and equipment on eBAY. I wouldn't waste my time or money on any other service.

I know this doesn't really belong in this "section" (as I've already posted in the "gear" forum), but I'm posting here so more eyes see this (and possibly help me out).. So please keep the "flaming" to a minimum..

"Hello all,
I got the worst news EVER yesterday. I found out that effective November 1, 2008 that my place of employment is closing it’s doors for good. I’ve been an employee there for over 10 years. Granted, there have been good times and bad times over the years (due to the lovely economy), but I never imagined this would happen!!
As a result, and after a very long convo with my wife, I’ve got to put my passion for creating music on “hold” once again. I HATE to do this, but everything in my “home studio” is up for sale so I can try to provide for my family through this rough time. I’ve got mouths to feed and bills to pay as do many of you do, and unemployment just doesn’t do that.
All of the items in my “signature” are on the “chopping block”. There are also other items I have that aren’t in my signature that are also available. Later today I will be posting a thread on the Gearslutz forum in the “classifieds” section (with pics and prices).. Please also keep in mind that I just did a total overhaul of my studio less than (6) months ago, so all of my “hardware” is in MINT condition (ADAM A7’s, Presonus Eureka, PCR-800, Axiom 49, Motu Ultralite, and custom built ADK Core2 Quad). Also, the UAD-1 Extreme Pak (license transferable to new owner) is only around 4 months old also. The one thing which I have NO idea of what to do with is my I-Lok and Waves GTR3. Are there licenses transferable also, or no?
So if any of you guys/gals know of anyone looking to upgrade their current gear or just looking to add something to their current setup, please send them my way. Any “reasonable” offer will be accepted. Since I’m not a big fan of E-bay anymore, I figured I’d try this route first.

I’d also like to thank you guys/gals on this forum, you guys rock!!

It’s a sad, sad, day here in lovely MI..

Jason

Best wishes and sorry to hear about the changes your facing. I hope the sales go well.

Sorry.. But that "Item" is "sold".. As is almost half of my stuff..

Daveny: The way things are going I won't have to put ANY of my items on E-bay (crossing fingers), between here and the "slutz" forum.. Lotsa good people on both..

Thanks again all for your advice and kind words..

Take care..

nevermind....
