Purchasing dilemmas
So, apparently a couple years of amplified isolation has resulted has resulted in my being more awkward than normal.
Apologies to FAP, as their (genuinely useful) reply now makes little sense.
I bought a thing.

Re: Purchasing dilemmas
That thing has guts.
I look forward to receiving the thing, for which I have only just paid for today.

TL;DR indeed: IDK man, go out and play some basketball or something.

Re: Purchasing dilemmas
I have actually managed to sell some stuff recently (mainly out of necessity) and not buy much at all.
So quite nice to be going one way for a change, but I am sure things will change soon when my GAS gets reignited.

Re: Purchasing dilemmas
Stay away from marketplaces. They will always have a great deal on something to tempt you with.

Re: Purchasing dilemmas
Yeah, marketplace can be a GAS igniting slog. To touch back on my deleted tale, I did finally touch base with the seller of the Yamaha TX-416 that had been reduced to $200, but they had at that point given it to a friend of theirs.

Re: Purchasing dilemmas
Found a great solution to purchasing / money dilemmas.
Met up with a friend over the weekend and he leant me some gear for a long term borrow.
So I've got a Pittsburgh Modular Sv-1 to play with for a while. Initial investigations so that its a very capable beast!
Also got a couple of pedals that I haven't got out of the boxes yet, but theres a filter with a ring mod attached, and an lfo/fuzz thing.
So swap shop / trading is certainly an excellent way to proceed
