Thanks again everyone, I’ve found all the feedback most helpful!

One last thing… wandering_whistler was right, Ebay acquired Paypal last month.
I’ve used both with no problems, but I prefer Paypal for ease of use.

John, since you mentioned guitars, I’ll have a like new condition limited edition Martin Acoustic Guitar up for sale on on Ebay shortly…
Ahh, you tempter you. Actually, I'm in the position of selling off quite a bit of my less frequently used guitar (and other) stuff since we moved into this smaller house. I actually have a room set aside for office/practice studio now but it is a *small* room.
I've also finally realized that buying more equipment isn't going to make me a better player :-0 so I am concentrating on paring my collection of instruments down to one good steel-string acoustic (my Taylor) one good nylon-string, etc.
I'm also trying to raise funds and make room to build a couple of small tube guitar/harp (harmonica) amps that I've designed.
I'm also seriously considering devoting myself strictly to the guitar. I love listening to the whistle, and enjoy whistling, but I've just never become that proficient at it and I think maybe I'm old enough that I'm going to have to concentrate on one instrument if I am to be any good at all.
If I finally do make that decision I will be listing several whistles for sale, but right now I'm still struggling with it as I do pull the whistles out and enjoy them from time to time.
