It should be here in 3-5 days! I ordered it from amazon.com. I got the Pioneer EFX 1000 that I can use with my computer. All together it was $795.00 and i got 6 months to pay for it on their credit card. I've been wanting one of these for a long time. That's one of my favorite toys of all times! I know I'll get beat up for spending the money on that. Just remember the payments is spread over 6 months. So I'm not paying for it all at once.

I'm losing my mind already and I just ordered it tonight!
 
Just think .. $795 could have also bought you some insurance and a music subscription ....

Yup and it would be a real good idea to pay it in 6 months or you are paying Mafia interest rates

The insurance thing is easy. That's not all that much since I used to have some.

Don't be so sure.
Some insurance companies will REFUSE to cover you...if you let your policy lapse for ANY reason.
If you simply do not re-new it in time, they consider that a CANCELLATION.

What will you be using that new toy for? Not really a piece of gear needed for a wedding.

It depends on the type of wedding and the guest that come. It will be used for different other events and when I play in the bar.
 
Without that business plan, things are still out of whack. Within your business plan, you would have seen that this is a 'toy'. It most likely was not needed and there are other things that should have come first.

By the way, any progress on that business plan?

Why in the world did you buy this unit? If you get bored at 'certain gigs", then either you're not trying to do your best for your clients or you're doing the wrong kind of event in relation to your talent.

To spend $800.00 for sound effects seems like a waste IMHO.

Mike, I'll see your cat lazer and offer a remote f*rt machine. A little pricier yes, but that's a sound effect that's worth it!

This is certainly no excuse for opting for a piece of equipment over a business plan. I think you've been underlining that you have no desire, nor plan, to commit to a business plan. Without this, you have all but sealed your fate. Your failure to take this seriously is why people will refuse to take you seriously.
 
I just got the effects machine today. I'll post a picture later when I have time and can finally figure out how to get it working.

I saved you the trouble so we won't have to look at a bunch of blurry photos.

Let me guess, six months, same as cash. See what happens when you go six months and one day.

What would Dave Ramsey or Suze Orman say? I don't know, if I added up every wrong investment I made in the last year it would be way over $800. Good thing I've also made a few smart ones too.

Do you think that people are now going to hire you more because you have one of these things? Most people couldn't give a crap what you have for equipment - they want a nice event. So you shelled out 800 smack-a-roos for what?

IMO, I see no purpose in having one of these things if you have no need / requirement for it. You do not have a business plan (nor have you seemed to make an attempt to make one - nor do you seem to really care) and you don't have enough business rolling through the door (among other things) - unless this is a hobby for you.

Investment with no reasonable payback = non self sustaining business = hobby. Having a hobby is totally fine, some here do it - but you, yourself, have to admit that it's a hobby and not a business.
