Vintage 0 Posted November 21, 2016 Folks i spend my money for Reps like a drunken sailor... 600,- this month, 380,- the month before and so on! This must come to an end! Somebody give me a good advice to overcome this sweet temptation? Thx Vintage (hooked for reps) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Stubbs 0 Posted November 21, 2016 Get hooked on gens perhaps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elp 26 Posted November 21, 2016 If it's any consolation, by the time you have about 30-50 reps you'll start getting into frankens, custom vintage pieces, then mid-priced gens, etc then . After that you'll settle down so only 2-3 more years of silly expenditures to contend with. There's light at the end of the tunnel! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FuzzyCoyote 2 Posted November 21, 2016 Just tell your wife what you are doing... guaranteed to put a stop to your spending! Haha... Yes... Also, I imposed a strict 'One Out before One In' rule on myself a while back. In the main I have stuck to it (still have the occasional treat to myself) but it also helps you clear out the ones you don't happen to wear as much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

myaz 3 Posted November 21, 2016 The lure will fade in time, maybe sooner if one of your reps falls apart for no good reason. In the mean time, you are asking all the enablers here the wrong question...problem? there's no problem that can't be fixed by ordering more reps, drunken sailors have excellent judgment.
