They Might Be Giants Rob.

Otherwise, I entirely agree. Like I say, I inherited it.

uhhhbluhhh. i don't really have much valuable stuff. well, valuable to other people, i guess. i have an mj picture sleeve, maybe that's worth something on e-bay? i also have macca feat. michael. why am i not jumping that recent death train?

top three things i'd sell if i was really super desperate for money, not that any are worth much:
1) guitars
2) tiny, cheap, battered record collection
3) kidneys!

I own the Minutemen's first release, the Paranoid Time EP, 7" Orange vinyl. Near mint condition, I guess, it plays great. That's probably the rarest thing I've got, as I've never seen it anywhere else. I've also got a lot of original REM vinyl from the 80s but thats probably more mass-produced. Same goes for early Public Enemy and Beastie Boys 12" singles.

My husband was given an extensive record collection by his father. We've got all kinds a good shit..BB King live at Cook County Prison...The Beatles (including Rubber Soul, Yesterday & Today, Revolver & The Magical Mystery Tour)... John Lennon and Yoko Double Fantasy...Bob Dylan Blood on the Tracks...Rolling Stones Beggars Banquet....Alot a Led Zepplin...SY Hold That Tiger..Paul McCartney Bowl of Cherries...3 Jimmy Hendrix albums..I can't remember the rest
I would think these would be worth something.
I also have a bar napkin that Duff McKagan signed.

I have too many "rare" LPs to get into it in detail, really.
My amplifier is very rare, as is the one-of-a-kind custom acoustic hybrid instrument I had built just for me. I also have a few pieces of furniture that would be nearly impossible to replace.
I acquire things first and foremost for my own enjoyment though, and if they become "valuable" later, it's a bonus. I rarely sell any of my "valuable" stuff anyway.

iv'e got a les paul jr my uncle took off of cheetah chrome because he owed him money

Savage Clone 07.08.2009 02:52 PM

That's pretty cool.

I also have a 1966 Vox Cheetah that I bought 20 years ago.
I would have a tough time replacing it.

Seandi 07.08.2009 02:55 PM

vox cheetah? that is so cool. pic?

purty geetar!

Savage Clone 07.08.2009 03:04 PM

I don't use it that much anymore, but I'll never sell it. I use the Gibson ES 335 all the time these days; it's better for the super-heavy sound I require in the music I play now, but still has that same body shape that I love. That Vox was my main guitar for years and years. It has built-in fuzz, repeater, bass/treble boost and E tuner. I wish it had the hand-wah that many of its contemporary models had, but you can't have everything.

Seandi 07.08.2009 03:08 PM

Thats a guitar i always heard about but never played. The ES335 is probably better in every way, but shit, thats a cool guitar to own.

floatingslowly 07.08.2009 03:24 PM

my Thunderbolt Pagoda album.

feel free to offer me a 1,000 pesos...I won't be selling.

now...2,000 pesos...maybe.

Savage Clone 07.08.2009 03:28 PM

I swear you'll be able to retire off that thing someday.

Provided you don't require food, shelter or heath care in your twilight years.
