I admire folks that walk their talk. He does it. I also have, by eschewing banks, and this increased my opportunity costs, as few others do so, and opportunity thus is limited to bank mediated transactions, except for situations where others also eschew banks.
When you created opportunity to gain one of your guitars absent bank mediated payment, you also walked your talk. This is why my post about it is about good company. Folks that walk their talk are good folks, and when one can associate with them, one is in good company.
Thanks!
