Alan is happy with me these days...

One of the first things I evaluated for purchase was an expensive acoustic guitar. A really important model, one that's been made for decades.

We intended to sell it on eBay for $3000 because that was about what the average that model was generally getting. But when I looked closer at it, I realized it was MUCH older than we'd figured. I used a serial number tracker to figure out that it was a 1957 model. We had it up for sale for the last two weeks, with an accurate description and 40 pictures, and Alan finally accepted an offer of $6000 for it.

That totally makes up for that $200 Vita I let get stolen at Christmas.
