And one more thing.........................with instruments..................it's not as easy as point and click...
www.dumb*#@staring at the screenallday.com is a waste of time, Waste of Life!
Go out in the shop, get your hands dirty, use a tape measure, cut some wood, have some fun making something, (preferably a cbg), do it wrong even, then show some folks and don't be upset when some or most don't like it, just keep trying, learning, improving and keep a positive attitude, you'll find your happy place...and one more thing...don't base it on spending or making money to much it will rip the joy from your heart, I know this personally from multiple experiences.
I don't know about where you live but in my town there are no real music venues per say and hardly anyone, musician or non-musician knows what a Cigar Box Guitar is. I just showed my "Hobo" that I bought from Shane to my neighbors who own a car restoration business called "Toyland Auto" in Kelso, Washington, which is on Facebook btw, and they had never seen or heard of one before but thought it was cool. And just went to our guitar store yesterday to visit my guitar tech friend and though they heard of one, no one seemed to have much or any interest in them.
For myself, I deduct that most people now, especially teens thru 20's, have no interest in the sounds of old or the concept of learning to play and create some instrument.
No more days of sitting on the porch with the family and friends enjoying each others company, eating, drinking, singing, etc.
So, for those of you who build, play, entertain, my hats off to you, and for those of you who want to to just make money off these, learn all you can, be willing to work 18 hours a day, think smart, and always have a smile and a song ready for those you meet~
I hope not, I'm just now hitting my stride. I haven't tried to sell any on Ebay. I've been carrying them to local clubs and getting the local performers to demo them so I can get them out in the public eye. I've sold a few here and there and have some requests for the Christmas season. I'm not seasoned like some of you are, though, so I have nothing to compare to. I'm not looking to make any significant cash off this...I just want to sell them so I can continue to make more.
