He isn't selling his collection.. he is selling the spill over stuff for insane prices.

Re: Rick Nielsen needs your help...thinning the herd
He should just open a store. He'd have the best vintage shop in the nation in a long time. Be like the place in Red Bank NJ (anyone recall the name - Guitar Trader?) where I bought my 56 Special for $800 in 1982. They had like five of everything The special was a hard choice btwn that and a Firebird 5 for $1000. i really fell for the neck on the Special. Bad choice. Anyway, never see a store like that again.

Drove down from VT in 1974 with a bandmate and bought him a 5E6A Bassman from that place in Red Bank.
He didn't like it, so we drove down the next week and got him a 5F6A, which he still owns.
