How do you do it

Just like a pawnshop lol

I had a girlfriend once who ran an antique store. She swore to me that the only people who bought antiques were other dealers who then sold them back to you when you have forgotten that you had them once.

Can you pre-sell your body to science ? Buy now and pay when you can't care .

I figured out that I am buying the stuff now that I didn't have when I was 13 (toys) . I am fortunate and can let the past 35 years of work , work for me instead of me actually working . ...... D.J.

My latest toy . 63" Wingspan .

yeah, like Venice I sold my first bike (a cruiser i found in the trash) and have financed this whole hobby from that. My real job cash goes for bills and selling bike money goes right into new projects.

That there is a hobby that will drain your wallet faster than, well, it's drain you quick if your not careful.

I have an electric Heli, an electric Sukhoi, an electric sailplane with a brushless motor and a whole lotta other "stuff' from "that hobby". It's more expensive than "this hobby".

Not as expensive as most women, and car/motorcycle hobbies however.

I find this hobby manageable... I found building vintage style cameras also manageable, but cars and women are not. At least not for me.

I worked with a man once who said to me over coffee. "You know Charlie, I would be rich today were it not for fast women and slow horses." I kind of took that as my motto ... Fast women and slow horses will be the death of you son, I say to anyone who will listen, and not many do. So maybe now it should be fast woman and motor bikes.
