Arrgghhhh! (Buyer’s Anxiety)

I just bought a Carvin C1644U, 16 channel, 4 sub-group, stereo mixer with digital signal processing and USB out (https://www.carvinguitars.com/products/single.php?product=C1644U).

The price was really surprizing—it’s a good deal; but I’m nerve-wracked...

Thought others might want to share their buying anxieties, too.

Been there plenty! Let's see, I have a 40 watt tube amp that has hardly left the house, two Strats collecting dust, a second acoustic my wife still doesn't know about....and I just came home with Seasons 1 and 2 of Robot Chicken! Got some buyer's remorse for THAT ONE!

Actually found a bit of pleasure in unloading some unused gear to finance some new purchases. Certainly didn't make money but it felt good.

I know what you mean. This morning I pulled the trigger on the Reverend guitar...the wife is out of town and doesn't know about it yet. It'll be a nice surprise for her on Friday! $\:D$ I had to wait a couple of days to get it, and that was excruciating, but it is mine. Now, I have to wait till it gets here Friday. Its in Kansas City. A good friend (my singer, actually) is heading to KC in the morning for business and will pick it up for me and I'll have it Friday. Its gonna be a long couple of days...

Here's a better pick of what you got...

I wish ya' luck bud... I'm still bangin' my head against the wall with my DAW... I bought an 8 channel Boss awhile back and after 3 weeks I sent it back... But you have a new toy now so put it to work...

Brian- why are you nerve-wracked? That's a great board- we use one at my church. No worries- it will be wonderful for you. (And if not, maybe you can unload it to me for my band at a minor discount?)

Here's some buyers remorse. I bought a Samick Greg Bennett bass. It has the noisiest electronics I've ever heard. Got it off eBay and there's achip in the fretboard. BTW, no mention of it in the item description. I'm in the middle of demanding a refund. What could possibly go wrong!??
