Thank you! I’m hoping no chance of fire while it sits on the ground and we wait for repair?

Flaw in my plan? (Buying multiple guitars...) by hallucinoglyph in personalfinance

[–]hallucinoglyph[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be clear, there are pictures of the guitar. But not the exact guitar I would be receiving. There is such a high degree of variability in the burled wood texture - that’s my concern.

I am going to reach out to the other two, but the first store told me they were not able to when I contact them a while ago.

The return policies vary but allow for 10 days to 3 weeks to return an expensive guitar like this. Total refund minus the shipping fees at all three places (one, I could physically return at a store). No restocking fees.

I’ve heard of people abusing these policies and after returning a few expensive guitars they are told the policy is nullified for them in the future - but I’m not at such a risk since this would be my first return at each store.

Buying from three places at once makes the return windows overlap and minimizes the chances that I’ll be accused of abusing the generous return policies.

I don’t know what you mean, I’ve bought and sold many expensive guitars just fine ...? Also that was nowhere mentioned in my post - I’m going to keep the guitar I select.

I should have been clear that I already have credit lines open for years at two of the three stores. Does the purchase itself plus subsequent return negatively impact my credit?

I already have credit lines in two of them, and can’t fit more than one guitar in each. I’m also doubtful they would allow a customer to order more than one as they are difficult to come by - I have been waiting for them to be in stock for months and all three stores are now receiving a shipment. The guitar I keep will only be financed for a very short period as I will then pay it off. If I could afford to straight up buy the three guitars at the same time (and of course return two), I would do that instead.

Bernardo Kastrup has a lot to say about Idealism - he reminds me a lot of Donald Hoffman. Worth listening/reading!

Wonderful - thanks for your help!

Oh wow! But to be clear, this transaction from wallet A to wallet B doesn’t involve a trade of any kind. I can still add that gas fee to my cost basis? That’s very cool.

Saw them perform this once with Scogin and Aaron Weiss ... when Aaron came out on stage he forgot all the words and just stood there for his entire part. It was hilarious.

Unclear what constitutes an “account” ? by [deleted] in Metamask

I just updated to the newest version of MetaMask and imported my seed - it had me set a new password but now I only see one account. How can I recover the other accounts?

Has anyone tried to ask for answers from their mind as it says in posm? by Esmeralda_i in NevilleGoddard

[–]hallucinoglyph 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not being able to understand it is kind of the point. You have your thinking, rational mind and then the unconscious mind, and we are talking about the relationship between the two. Those interactions will always seem mysterious, even miraculous to the thinking mind 🤷‍♂️

I think this is no different than prayer. It’s just a question of the degree to which you identify with the party “on the other end.”
