Checkered binding

Post by johnv »

Just saw this on ebay, for anyone interested. Seems like quite a bargain! http://cgi.ebay.com/guitar-binding-chec ... dZViewItem

NOT a bargain, that's for sure.

Paul, I just discovered another Small Business I can go into Image Quite a return on investment, I would say. Buy low, sell high, yadayada. Good ole American free enterprise. Import/Export from the comfort of your easy chair, just 5 minutes a day. Enjoy the Good Life Now...

Yes, Elys. Now you and I know what a buncha checkers cost. This is something like a...70 jillion percent markup or sumthin'...

Oh no, you have to remember, there would be expenses. Overhead. Undertow. Sidesaddle. Slowpitch. We would be barely able to make ends meet. Struggle to stay afloat. Image

We'd still give good friends an extra 10% off in volume, though. Image ;)

I have two pieces that I picked up last year. Think it was`$45 including shipping, and I thought that was a lot.

Still waiting for the right project to use it one.
