6. A Streamlight tactical flashlight

It's one of those ultra-bright LED jobbers that eats Mini Mag-Lites for breakfast. Great for keeping in the dashboard in case of a nighttime emergency when you're stranded on the side of the road.

[Initech]

7. A used N64 game - "Banjo Tooie"

And man this ranks as one of the most difficult games I've ever played!

9. Gods, it was years ago.

A James O'Barr original painting (acrylic, on illustration board) of his character "The Crow", titled "Nevermore". It looks like this:



I bought it as a Christmas gift for ThinkBlue1966 several years ago, when we were in MUCH better financial position. It's not a commissioned piece--it's an original painting. We looked into selling it recently because of our financial difficulties, but we can't find a buyer as of yet. We haven't framed it yet--it's still in the original protective packaging that he shipped it to us in.

10. Legere Eb #4 reeds

For a C Clarinet. Sure wish some #3's would show up again though! These synthetic reeds are great (although pricey - hence the shopping for them on eBay).

[AllegroRondo]

12. Where did you find a C clarinet?

and who on earth even plays a C clarinet any more?

[Greyskye]

21. Lyons C Clarinet

I do! :evilgrin:

My father in law gave me his beautiful old Selmer Bb clarinet for a wedding present. This was the instrument he used when he fronted a pre-WWII big band "The Dick Yeager Band". I'd never played a clarinet before, but took lessons and found it to be the easiest instrument to pick up that I had ever tried. Although it did force me to learn how to read music for the first time in my life.

The bad part is that the VAST majority of my playing is jamming with other musicians at music festivals. I'm not NEARLY good enough to transpose music in my head from folk keys (C, D, G etc) into Bb. So I poked around, and found this guy in England, who makes the Lyons C Clarinet. Their biggest marketing segment is for a kids beginners instrument, as it is extremely light (no more clarinet thumb!) and the keys are a little closer together than on a standard clarinet. Fine for me, as I don't have large hands. It was inexpensive enough to take a chance on. And I LOVE IT! It's the perfect festival instrument. All plastic, all user maintainable, ultra-light, and actually has a great tone! Highly recommended!

I've communicated with the creator by email a couple times - extremely nice fellow.

18. I hated the synthetic reeds

I use to do the #4.5 in reeds but it's been so long since I played I'm probably back down to a #2. I use to keep a second mouthpiece for when I used the #4.5 since it would wear out the mouth after a bit but was great for the really really high notes.

[Greyskye]

22. When was the last time you tried them?

I really like Legere Reeds. They have a very good tone, feel very natural, don't absorb moisture, and last way longer than natural reeds. If you try playing again, I think that they are worth checking out. Make sure you check their reed strength equivalence chart though - their numbering system does not directly translate to natural reed strength numbers.

[Guava Jelly]

11. Non sports trading cards probably

.

[SmokingJacket]

13. A soil test kit for my future garden.

Apparently, I have the right pH for garlic, but it's too high for blueberries...

[catmandu57]

14. Nike shoes

twenty five bucks I think they're genuine, doesn't matter though I like them.

[FloridaJudy]

15. A Tibetan singing bowl

16. King Crimson's "Discipline" on Vinyl

I had the album from years ago but the cover got destroyed when I had some flooding in my apartment

[Mugu]

20. A 15Kv neon sign transformer. n/t

[Thirtieschild]

23. A green glass turtle box

It's awful, cost $68 and I was sitting in front of the computer at midnight, zonked on Ambien CR. Still don't know why I was on e-bay instead of bed, shocked the next morning when I got word I'd won. Haven't been back.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

[Kali]

27. oh it was a little something from Egypt..

Yes really (the one in front). It came UPS in about 7 days. Cool huh?

[txwhitedove]

32. Wow! That is beautiful, and the horse, too. Years ago, I had a

horse and a saddle very much like the one at top of your picture.
Sniffle, you are so lucky.

:hi:

[Kali]

35. that top one is like the old fashioned pony saddles they bolted to the fiberglass horse in front of

the grocery store. But funnily (is that a word?) enough, it belongs to a friend of mine from Germany. She had it when she was a girl and since she doesn't have horses there anymore she brought it over here. Too many rodents at the barn so it is livingroom decoration now.

I AM lucky. Not many of us left. (Family farm/ranches) The horse is more or less required for my job. Of course an Egyptian saddle isn't :silly:

[InvisibleTouch]

28. Show leads for my dogs.

For all the good it'll do, if they won't stand nicely in the ring. (We still have a few weeks left to practice.) But at least they'll be "dressed appropriately."

[Westegg]

29. Keith Moon's head. Well worth it, BTW...

I was rebuilding a basket-case guitar; rather than try to
find a preamp for the active Seymour Duncan pickup it came
with, I just replaced it with a standard pickup.

[LeftyMom]

[yurbud]

36. epilady for bungholes--but it does NOT work painlessly

[Blue-Jay]

37. An alto/tenor/soprano sax stand.

As a matter of fact, it's the only thing I've ever bought on eBay. And that was because the seller was less than an hour drive away from me.

[triguy46]

I use it with my 8 watt home built tube amp that cost $110 in kit form.

Nina Hagan Band and Unbehagan. It was cheaper than buying direct from Germany where the shipping costs more than the disques. My cassette tapes from 20 years ago were pretty worn.

But the purchase was quite a while ago.
