Speaking of deals...

Over the weekend I picked up an old Arbiter Fuzz Face that wasn't working for $50.

Turns out it's one of the very first ones made - the pots date september 1966. It's all original except for the stomp switch that I had to replace to get it working.

I bought it for the sole purpose of flipping it on ebay, and I should get at least $800, but probably more for it. Sweet! Question is, should I buy a new Rick or put the money towards my truck loan?

Truck loan, schmuck loan. Buy a Rick!

Easy for you to say, Paul "three Ricks in ten days" Boyer!

Rob, the way you have to look at it is, if something happens with the truck, at least you'll have the Ric to play the blues on....

Rob, buy a Ric.

Do the math. Ricks appreciate. Trucks depreciate.

D*mmit, I think you guys just might be right.

"Do the math. Ricks appreciate. Trucks depreciate."

So true. The truck loses its value exponentially over time. The Ric will only get more and more valuable.

Rob, if you don't have a truck, I would go for that. You need something to transport the RIC collection.
