Please don't take this as anything more than an observation. We are all different and we all have our reasons, and raising the money to go to Africa is a fabulous reason, whatever the action that is driving it. But...
I had a buddy up here (he's still here, just a different part of the state) that bought and sold guns at a prodigious rate. And I truly believe when he bought/buys them, some part of him thinks he is buying it to keep. But he had a great many that he sold in a matter of weeks. Of particular favorite was all of the handguns he bought for his wife... only to sell. I will say he never had a kitchen as nice as yours. The reason I bring this up is he's from Georgia. Is there something in the water down there?
All in fun good sir. Best of wishes as you make me jealous - preparing for Africa again.
