Is it narcissistic to buy your own guitar?  I just snagged the THIRTEENTH cigar box guitar I ever built.  It was made back in 1995 when I still called my company, Mississippi Catfish.  It came up for sale on eBay this past week.  I just couldn't believe this one showed up.  I'll be hanging it in the Speal's Tavern Cigar Box Guitar Museum this Saturday.

I apologize to anyone else bidding on this. (There were like 20 bids!) I secretly pulled out my eSnipe account for this sale. I really wanted to have one of my early guitars back in my collection.

Narcissism comes with the territory bro ;0)

Glad ta see it back in your possession.

It is only narcissistic if you are looking at yourself in a mirror when you are buying it.

Narcissism , Yes, but so what. I have sold items over the years that I wish I could buy back.  At $77 it sounds like a bargin. Hope you won it. :)

Nah, it's just nostalgic.

I like that even better "nostalgic" :)
