I Can Now Buy ANY Guitar in the World, as long as..

Re: I Can Now Buy ANY Guitar in the World, as long as..

Wouldn't you have to buy in serious bulk to make a good profit? Are you trying to make it a full time gig? I had a friend who did the same thing on a part time basis.

Theres this Hendrix signature fender strat thing otu now I think. There's supposed to be only 375 of them made. You could also try and get your hands on a Slash signature LP amp. There are only 77 Slash guitars I think.

I think he's more of a short-term investor, not a loan shark :duh:

I would be too tempted to screw that dude over. UHaul van and the border.

That's awesome! I can't tell you how many times I've seen nice gear sell for pretty cheap (but I didn't have any money at the time to invest). You know the market already, now you'll just be making bigger gains (provided you don't get attatched... that's your job and your life on the line :( )

Nice work Gearjoneser

Just out of interest, any kind of ballpark margin that you'd expect to make on your $100,000 in a year?

Do you get hit by any kind of tax in California, or is it fine with private buying & selling

watch out for those squires in 57 fender clothing

I think of this opportunity as more of a part time hobby, which I have now, but on a much larger scale, with more dollars involved. I don't think I'd go into details, but money orders are a beautiful thing. :wink:

If you use a hobby like this as a supplementary income, which so many do
on Ebay, it's much easier money than any extra job. In the past few months,
I've made around $2500, just finding cool stuff and selling it on harmony,
here, recycler.com, and Ebay. Maybe only 4 simple transactions, with THAT
much profit. My boss has plenty of money, as does all his business partners.
Imagine a part time hobby of buying guitars for $2500-$50,000, and actually moving them for a 35% profit, which I split 50/50 with the investor who has
100% of the risk.

You never know, you could make a business like that fulltime, if you can truly locate highly desireable pieces and move them within a couple months.
Think about all those high-dollar live auctions that end with buyers.
Someone's making that money. Dang, I sound like an Amway salesman! :smack:
 
Re: I Can Now Buy ANY Guitar in the World, as long as..

Sounds a good plan, for a healthy profit too.

Maybe I should pull my money out of the sharemarket and start buying guitar gear :)
 
Re: I Can Now Buy ANY Guitar in the World, as long as..

All your gear and now you can only get more...


Now I am really jealous.
 
Re: I Can Now Buy ANY Guitar in the World, as long as..

awesome man!! Too bad you don't live in texas, there's some good opportunities coming up at claptons auction... not just claptons guitars, but a signed BB king guitar, a signed Pete townshend signature, and one of brian may's les pauls....

actually, come to think of it, that part is in new york... so its pretty far either way.
 
Re: I Can Now Buy ANY Guitar in the World, as long as..

Careful not to fall in love with some gear, with that sort of budget you'll be able to afford some pretty nice stuff

Yeah, I'm still looking for the drug to cure my gear jones too. I would never succeed in what you're getting into. If I had the same opportunity my family would be forced out of our home because guitars and amps would be crowding every room. :laugh2:
 
Re: I Can Now Buy ANY Guitar in the World, as long as..

Now that is a fun way to kill time. Looking forward to hearing what you get your hands on. You gotta post some music man> I want to hear these toys.
 
Re: I Can Now Buy ANY Guitar in the World, as long as..

*flood of insults* :soapbox:

You lucky dog, cool for you :)
 
Re: I Can Now Buy ANY Guitar in the World, as long as..

I think I'd rather just have a couple guitars that I really like than a bunch of guitars I don't get to keep a hold of...haha

That's not to say I would pass up the opportunity to do what you're doing though...just thinkin of sitting a Strat in my lap that's older than my dad...nevermind, I'm DEFINITELY jealous.

Re: I Can Now Buy ANY Guitar in the World, as long as..

man, if u do well enough eventualy u could be making enough money to hold onto a few of the ones u really love.....
 
Re: I Can Now Buy ANY Guitar in the World, as long as..

Cool job. Always good to see talent recognised. It'd be cool as a full-time job, but the problem would be having to let stuff go.
