...if for no other reason...

...cuz it's mine...
...that's why...my shit is the best shit, cuz it's mine...end of  discussion...

...as soon as you buy that "shiny new piece of shit" whatever...it's used...whatever arbitrary value you bestow upon something means shit...if it doesn't fulfill the intended purpose of possession, it's shit...just cuz "it's" new means nothing to no one...things that are available/useful/operational/proven, have an intrinsically higher "value" than monetary worth...example: any of my primary weapons, all past the quarter century mark, several exceedingly so, having said that i would be hard pressed to trade my best bushy for two new colts, or for that matter, my colt for two new colts,or three or four of the other big names...

...anyway

...piece of advice, shop around, buy/barter/sell whatever you need/don't need, from/to whatever source you deem appropriate, but DO NOT discount something cuz it's 'used'

...ladies and gentlemen, if you haven't used it in a year, sell it...if you think you're gonna need something soon, buy it...always thinking it's time to get small, the seriousness of the approaching turmoil will sink in, in about a month...

...GoodLuck, GodBless
