3rd times a Charm!!!
Ok so i've been looking and casually bidding on e-bay for a clarinet for Brad.. He's decided thats what he wants to play not so much because he's so excited to play a Band instrument but he deffenately doesn't want to do Choir so by default he's doing Band.. because of this and what I think might become an issue with conflect with Guitar club (a MUST in his book) and eventually sports i didn't really want to shell out the money to rent (to the tune of $30/month) or worse BUY ( cheepest "good" instrument is 199) so i was bound and determined to get him a good starter Clarinet for under 100.. I DID IT!!! i've been outbid by a dollar at the final second the last 2 nights on 2 different auctions.. so tonight i was bound and determined and i got a BRAND NEW (the other 2 i lost were used) Clarinet for 65$ (thats including shipping!!) now it's deffenately a beginner instrument so if he decided's he's in love with the clarinet then we'll have to replace it probably when he's in high school but frankley i think it's worth it to see what lies ahead.. the only real problem is this just fuels my obsession with e-bay.. so far i've gotten everyone's scout shirt for more than half off.. my printer for 1/3 of what it cost's and the ink again for about 75% off what it's in the store.. i've gotten loads more things (my rating is a 47 so i must be blocking out a ton of things i've purchased over the last 5+ years ouch!)
Anyway when it comes in i'll take some pic's of Brad w/ the Clarinet.. (hey maybe i'll have my new camera by then.. oh yea i havn't ordered it yet.. maybenot!! haha)
ta ta for now!
