The Random Thought Megathread

Just a thought...

if you had, say, $5k to drop on a bass, and you found one being sold a handful of states outside of your own...and there is only one of these basses in question....would you find it necessary to spend $239 on a round-trip flight to go check it out in person before you decide to just buy it online sight-unseen? Or is that too outlandish of an idea? Cost of doing business?
I don't have that much money, and probably never will, but maybe someone who has that heavy a bank account would feel that it would be a waste of time? You can probably fly out and back the same day....and if you decide it's good, maybe even bring it home with you and save on shipping costs and wait-time....
I don't know...maybe I'm just an idiot...
