Steem for picks [STEEMGIG]

I've done a few posts previously on my guitar pick collection. People have been kind enough to send me more from around the world. I've had some from the US, Canada and Australia, including these from @sokal. You should be able to see the old posts from the tag I use, but I only see one here. Maybe the flood of posts these days means they can't handle all the old posts any more.

Picks

I'm keen to increase my collection and I have SBD to spend. So if you have any unusual picks then I may be interested. I'll cover reasonable postage and am happy to discuss prices for the picks themselves. It's pretty cheap to just send a few for regular letter rate. We can exchange delivery details in Steemit chat where I am also steevc. I don't mind if the picks are used. I have lots of the various Dunlops, but perhaps you have some promotional ones from a guitar shop or gear manufacturer. Artist picks are cool too. I know a lot sell them at gigs now. I know picks actually used by famous guitarists go for serious money, but if you have something to sell then we can discuss.

I have a few spares I'm happy to trade if anyone is interested.

Spares

I really want to see the market of goods for Steem take off. Why not use what you earn here to help others? It's not just about investing for the future.

On the subject of guitars, there's Washington Post article about the struggling guitar industry. They must wonder where the next generation of guitarists will come from when kids are into electronic music etc. They don't have the guitar idols we had a few decades back.

Keep on pickin' and grinnin'!

I'm Steve, the geeky guitarist.

    Great idea. Guitar picks are easy to send away. Mine are pretty generic. I have an extra thick for bass guitar. Like the idea though! I'll try to think of something to trade on Steemit...

    Where are you located? I'm in the United States

  • @dirtyhippie(46)· 3138d

    I make some out of gemstones occasionally. I might still have some picture Jasper that's cut thin enough to make a few more.

  • @daniel82(55)· 3280d

    im gona make you some cool picks :)

  • @owenwat(60)· 3296d

    ive got some i'll have a look for them :)

  • @grow-pro(64)· 3331d

    @steevc I will have to dig around here, but I might have a few interesting ones. Worst case, we can marvel at the together, right? I have a a great deal of concert material (mostly hard rock & metal bands) ranging from Ozzfest 98' to just about before my kids were born circa 2013..lol priorities, what can I say.. I'll see what I can find this afternoon and check back. Happy Huntin' & Pickin'

    Cool little thing to do. I might have some laying around, I will check to see.

    One of my most cherished possessions was a pink pick handed to me by Vinnie Vincent after an epic shred. I hadn't realized the ex-Kiss guitarist was a virtuoso until that moment, and had gone to see another act he was opening for (Iron Maiden).

    Stolen.. sigh

    Thanks for putting out a way for Steemit to grow in utility, and Steem to grow in value.

  • @immetal6669(52)· 3353d

    I had a nice collection, until they got lost during a move :(

  • @steemgigs(61)· 3353d

    Thank you for using the tag, join us on discord server: https://discord.gg/wWrnSXK there is so much gem on there, when you need something done!

  • @arthuradamson(67)· 3353d

    It amazes me the things people collect.

  • @heymattsokol(69)· 3354d

    You ever think about getting a really premium pick? I've had my eye on this one for a while, hoping to pull the trigger soon. $35 for a pick (!!!), but I've actually been using the same guitar pick for over a year without losing it, so I might be ready o_o http://shop.bluechippick.net/products/CT55.html

  • @thatsweeneyguy(65)· 3354d

    @dreamrafa, got any extra picks?

  • @thatsweeneyguy(65)· 3354d

    This is a great #steemgig, though it's not labeled as such. If you edit the title to include [STEEMGIG], it'll be easier to find and promote.

  • @dreamrafa(72)· 3354d

    Cool!, didn't know you collected picks!

  • @yaan(59)· 3354d

    That one looks legit :d

  • @dylanhobalart(74)· 3354d

    Very Cool, I have a rather large pic collection. I give away all my doubles. But maybe I'll save some in the future so we can trade!
