So you're house isn't for sale, but if someone came and offered you 2 times market value on it, would you sell it? I know I would, is that dishonest?

The analogy is a stretch, but let's play: Had I previously stated that my rather mundane home, built from commonly available materials to a generic design, and just like very other home the builder completed, was not available for sale at any price?


Please direct me to where he said it was not for sale at any price, then we can address your point, but until then, just because you say something is your own private stash, does not mean it isn't for sale at a certain price.

Where did Pat go?





I think most of his activity on this forum is marketing. But that's just my take. Not saying he's evil or anything.

Ah yes it was private neck stock. I've just never understood the term. Does it mean, "wood I already own?"

Jimmy ... read the thread in order. If you need help, feel free to PM.

Filippo,
I believe you are mistaken as to which post we are referring to, I believe me and the other gentleman are referring specifically to this post.

What is "private stock" exactly?

In regards to you coming across like you're trying to pick his posts apart. Likewise feel free to PM to clear up any confusion.

As for boggling the mind - really??? Is your mind that easily boggled???

yes, I'm a complete idiot, thanks for asking

I have never understood this. Personal stash means for for personal use. But it obviously is not - seems very dishonest to say the wood is reserved for personal use, then use it in what is a common production item which anyone can buy.

It's not that difficult of a concept really. People change their minds all the time. And even if he is using as a marketing term, what is the problem with that? A lot of companies even do that as part of their brand, using terms like "Private Reserve".

And I also read the thread top to bottom, and after Fillipos response, I went back and read it again. It still came across to me as an indirect shot at Pat..

But hey, that's me, and I'm obviously too clueless to understand what I read here, so carry on...

P.S. Feel free to nominate me for the dufus award

What a train wreck. Just don't read the thread if you don't want to read it. It's not bothering me. I can skip it if I want to. Some of us enjoy seeing what other people are up to, even if the cognoscenti feel it's repetitive or somehow not up to some standard of posting.

private stock = timbers I have collected over the last 16 years of activity... = In my case, I dont see how this can be a marketing term... yes, I do have a private stock of wood for special occasions... eek

And again, I am not a company...

What is wrong with you guys ?

Pat is here posting nice pictures of pretty boards and guitars being built from them.
If you think the posts are too commercial, don't click on them.
