Hi. I'm Deak, and I am addicted to Shopping Carts. I read something interesting here on TB and immediately head to SW or MF and place the item on my wishlist for intent studious cerebral studies later. 
You know, topics, reviews, video searches, sound bites and reliable you tube artists I mostly trust.
After I read up on what my fellow low downers have to say, I decide weather the item needs to be moved higher up the list and eventually winning first choice. Or gets immediately tossed out (sometimes finding it's way back in).
Right now there are a lot of first choices!
Amps, Speakers, Basses especially since NAMM.
Bass Rack, New Studio Monitors, Monitor wedges and a new Ukulele with case. oh and a new banjo. Yes, I can play them all.
Now I proceed to the wishlist and prepare to place the lucky entrants into the golden shopping cart.
Then it begins.
"Maybe I don't need this right now, I'll put it back for later."
"I already have one almost as good". "I'll think about it." "But it does sound good, Damn."
I really want to try this six string, love my 5'ers so it would fill out the set. Damn it's a lot of money. I'll pull the trigger next month.
I really want this (blank) but I've got $1600.00 dollars in my hand right now! $1600.00 dollars! In my hand! I'm holding $1600.00. I better think about it.
"I've got good headphones so I'll put back the monitors. Ain't gigging atm anyway. I can always get them in a "3 days order."
("You spend too much time rearranging your pedal board fer gods sake. Get second one!") "Yea that sounds good. Wait. Then I need another power brick." "Am I that lazy to change my board around?" "I'll put this back on the back burner til later. Maybe when I play out again."
I guess for an old man it's better than solitare. Plus my family know I harmless (safe from myself) sitting here.
Kind of like a Busy Box for a Toddler.
I love it though and would throw a fit if I couldn't play.
