the old "Replace" factor

#1

Post by Brian K. Shaffer »

I don't know about you - but as SOON as I accidentally sell a reel from out of my collection,
for some odd reason, I must immediately replace it. Dadgum Duchess.

The replacement factor is this - the reel hole to be filled back again...
That reel has increased dramatically in value. Or so it appears.
Enough for me to gripe, or celebrate.
Not sure which yet.

Anyone else do this ?

None more for me.
I'm out.

Just curious, how does one “accidentally” sell a reel?

Accidentally helped a buddy into my reel - talking too much about it. Things happen for a reason.
Hey that there Duchess is a peach... and in a moment of weakness - I was talked out of mine.
