I don't own a watch and do know why anyone would these days. Time is on your phone why have a watch on your wrist?

As far as selling pins - I have bought and sold plenty of them and sure there are some I am sorry I sold but I am more sorry about the ones I have kept in storage for a year or two and never had a chance to play yet. When you only have space for 1/3 of the machines you own and keep buying more something is wrong and that is where I have been for the past 3 years. I even have two in my van right now with no place to unload them!

Over the years I have owned boats, motorcycles, motorhomes, nice vehicles, houses, etc and have bought and sold more stuff than 10 "normal people" will own in a lifetime and I can honestly say I can count on one hand what I am sorry I sold. When I was in college I owned 137 cars in 4 years. When I was in my 30 I moved 7 times one year owning 3 different house that year. I am 61 this year and in the past 7 years I have owned almost 400 pins. Every time I move one I keep thinking I need to sell all of them and get into something smaller & lighter but I doubt that is ever going to happen.

It is kind of funny because today my son & I were talking and I keep telling him something an old friend told me years ago "the more you own the more you have to take care of" and how true that is. We got on the topic because it is getting close to Winter and I really don't feel like Winterizing the toys. I keep looking at people who own less and I am starting to envy them!

Sell what you don't want and don't look back! And with that said, by Spring I'll have about 40 or 50 pins for sale just so I can get out of a couple more storage units. And shortly after that I'll have a complete woodshop, thousands of dollars in Snap On mechanics tools and other junk headed out the door also. If you live near Central PA and need more "junk" I'll be selling plenty of it shortly!
