mirrorimij Posted December 19, 2019 Author Posted December 19, 2019 Update.....everything is on hold for the moment. We have a handshake agreement to complete the sale contingent on me finding a property. I don’t want to bank the cash and then find a property. I seem to remember a story (maybe from here) about a member who sold a gold top “back in the day” and basically converted it to pizza money. I can only be at peace with this if I immediately convert it to something that significantly contributes to my quality of life. I’m not really worried about him backing out of the sale so it’s not a factor.
ARM OF HAMER Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 " Something that significantly contributes to my quality of life." Congrats on the sale and hope you find a nice comfortable place for you and your family.
hamerican gigolo Posted December 26, 2019 Posted December 26, 2019 Why are you so concerned about having property before you complete the deal? It sounds like the deal of a lifetime. Sell a collection in one fell swoop. Said buyer isn't gonna wait forever. Strike while the iron is hott!

I have a few special guitars and all have sentimental value but I honestly don’t play them. I play a very good Fender Strat about 90% of the time. I’m considering selling them to 90% fund the purchase of what would be a decent vacation spot/retirement home. It’s almost a no brainer! 19 minutes ago, hamerican gigolo said: Why are you so concerned about having property before you complete the deal? It sounds like the deal of a lifetime.

The last thing you want to do is lose the fish and then have to one-at-a-time it, selling a bunch of fucking Hamers of all things. It's hard enough trying to sell guitars with good resale value.

Jeez! I sure hope his buyer isn’t reading this thread...
gtrdaddy Posted December 27, 2019 Posted December 27, 2019 @mirrorimij I’d delete this thread or see about moving it to the Outer Circle. Wouldn’t want the buyer scared off by it, if he happened to find it. LOL

Travis Posted December 27, 2019 Posted December 27, 2019 If he offered $350/Hamer then you know he’s been here...

The last one I recall was that Mickey_C guy who went postal on one of us a couple of years back? He seemed so normal.
mathman Posted December 27, 2019 Posted December 27, 2019 Well if I was going to buy all of someone’s guitar collection , I’d make sure to rip the bills in half till I could check them all...

The Shark Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 A smart man once told me that the real assholes in life are on the board of YOUR HOA!
mirrorimij Posted January 1, 2020 Author Posted January 1, 2020 Not much of an update since my last post. My original plan to trade my Hamers for what I thought would be 90% of the funds I would need for the property was unrealistic (big surprise right). That property had a whacky HOA and ridiculously high fees. In order to get something that is reasonable from a HOA $ perspective it requires more cash up front. I just turned 50.....there are a lot of affordable 55+ communities in the Safety Harbor area.I started a fund that I will contribute to over the next 4 yrs 9 months to help buy into one of these when I turn 55. i can’t figure out how my Hamers factor into the new plan....I still have the handshake agreement for the sale and I’m still unwilling to let them go at this point. Probably not the smartest financial move but I stand by my decision.
Dutchman Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 The upside is your Hamers are only going to increase in value. 5 years is time to get some great planning done!! Wish you all the best!!
