"Churning" Kilts
Some of you may have noticed I've just offered five wool kilts for sale. I've been inventorying what I have and what I want and decided its time to sell off a few kilts and buy some more.
I've purchased 79 kilts in my short kilt addiction career. But I've sold off half of them to buy different kilts. I like the variety and the change. And I think its near criminal to leave kilt hanging in the closet unworn when someone else could be wearing them about town. Of course I have the highest respect for Ham and his Kilt Kollection - that's a different deal all together.
The only downside is the resale kilts bring in less than I paid for them, which limits my shopping with the proceeds, but does reduce the size of my on hand kilt collection. The upside is the kilts I have are the kilts I really want.
While the for sale forum here works well, I keep thinking that someday someone will risk being an online used kilt vendor who would buy up used kilts and resell them on line. I think there are some kilt retailers doing this in their local market already.
I really enjoy churning my kilts. It lets me buy what I want without having too many kilts (is there such a thing??) and I don't have a wife to question my kilt buying and selling decisions.
I know many of the rabble already do this...and I'm guessing there may be some who haven't thought of it yet and are now pondering it.
