Sorry about this but I've been wondering about this since I joined and it's an extension of my bias thread I guess. And I'm not pointing fingers without pointing right at myself. I just want to hear how you all defend or explain this practice.
OK it's this, we praise to high heaven our favorite uke. We may have researched for months and then paid through the nose out of our retirement account and then waited and waited for it. Then it finally shows and we are in love. A love that is so true and fine that the heavens open and James Hill comes down on a cloud playing uke in awe and wonder at the miracle of this fine new instrument. A true one of a kind or whatever.
Then six months to a year or so later, maybe sooner it's on the market. It kind of reminds me of marriage and romantic love. Anyway maybe it's me just pointing at this particular elephant but logically it makes no sense. Unless of course you acknowledge that we are not really logical creatures much of the time.
So outside of actually and really needing cash for an emergency which would be rare, what's going on?
