Well, I usually sit back and troll everyone's posts, but I thought I'd say something.
I wasn't into pins very much until now.
I recently bought a HH. I was browsing craigslist and stumbled upon a 15 minute old post for the machine. I called my pinhead uncle told and he told me it would be a solid investment. ( Im Sure he woukd have bought it if he wasnt 200 miles away) the ladys husband died and she knew nothing about it. She was locatated 3 minutes feom my house. By the time i got there she said she had already got 5 olus calls. Anyways, I got it for next to nothing and planned on making a few hundred dollars on it. I brought it home, cleaned it up, changed a few fuses and upgraded the grounding. I was all ready to list it for sale but I found myself thinking about it every minute of the day. I'd be in my bed trying to go to sleep and would have to get up and look at it. I started to criticize the machine. I was trying to find every single problem it had so I could repair it. My wife was dumbfounded when she would come home everyday and there I was, fixing or repairing the machine. (She still thought I was flipping it) I actually told her I was still selling it, but it would be worth more if I did the repair work)
Well, to some this up, Ive had it for around 45 days now. I put in hundreds of hours of work and research in it and spent around a thousand more dollars on it. I think my wife finally realized it is part the house now.
Does anyone else have this obsessive behavior about their own HH.
