Selling and Buying...the volatile balance...

Horaay!
It's Friday! I'm so happy that the weekend is pretty much here aready! Not that this week was a particularly stressful one. Just nice to know that you can wake up in the morning not having to worry about going for classes.

I just sold my Nikon F5. I needed the money for my winter break. I just hope that I will still have enough money when December comes around. So scary, because just knowing that I have the cash, I'm already looking for things to buy! Maybe I could sell my D100 and get a D2H? Droool.... Or just keep the D100 and use the money to buy that Gibson Les Paul electric guitar I've been eyeing on? Droool...

I've come to realize that selling equipment can be really addictive. There's this rush I get when money trickles into my bank account. I guess I have a very healthy mentality on money management then because for me, selling stuff can be just addictive as purchasing.

Now I'm considering selling off my other photo equipment. Part of the reason is that I didnt get the job with the Michigan Daily. I just dont see any reason to keep such expensive equipment if I'm just going to be an enthusiast the whole time. I intended my job at the Daily to somehow compensate for some of the cash I've spent on my Pro Nikon stuff. But alas, it is not to be. Now my 80-200mm f2.8D AFS lens is up for sale. *Sniff sniff...

Oh, about the Gibson Les Paul, well, I'm tempted to head up to Canton to take a look at the Guitar Center outlet there. It's about 12 miles away, which is not far at all. But I'm just so conscious of those attendants who stare when you try the guitars out. Hehehe...cos I'm really not that good. :P
