Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask theBuddha, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you are most likely either new here or completely retarded, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

NOTE: Next weekend is going to be the Halloween version of the FNGT, so come up with something scary for all the kids.

I figure they'll appreciate in value and I'll appreciate them. So, I do.

And, at least on paper, the collection is worth quite a bit more than I've paid for it. I had a small collection but started collecting in earnest a few years back. I've invited folks to watch the auctions with me, 'cause you can tell when it's me bidding - plus I say when I'm bidding. I bid via telephone so they often refer to that.

A few folks have watched auctions with me, but not many. They're a lot of fun, even if you're not bidding yourself. I usually do Mecum auctions as I like their fees, they treat me well, and you can often get some great deals. The car I have out this weekend is a 2016 Porsche 911 R. It had 66 miles on it when I bought it. It's up to about 300 now. I paid a lot less than it is worth. You just gotta be patient and available to bid when the auction isn't full of people.

That's amazing, the Porsche. You're a real Renaissance Man.

I fancy myself that way, at least in spirit.

I bet the auctions are a thrill, yep.

I mostly just got lucky. Yeah, I worked my ass off - but not any harder than someone lugging concrete forms around on their shoulder. (I've done that work. It was horrible.) My business was suddenly valuable and I was offered the chance to sell. I'd have had to have been fucking retarded to not sell.

What type business? You were juggling performing and something else?
