Well, throughout my guitars I've...
Saved money up
Requested the money for christmas
Washed cars
Done jobs for people
Washed cars
Done DIY
Sold my PS2 and games
Sold guitars
Not eaten
Give lessons
to get my guitars i did so:
stole my moms crappy acoustic for a while, just so i could figure stuff out on it
and my grandparents were gonna send my Uncle's old Gibson les paul back to him in cali, but i was like "uh.. no way. I'm taking it" and so i took it with me. its totally out of tune and missing 2 strings, but i only need two since i play bass
and Im also teaching karate classes 3 times a week for like 2 and a half hours to wacked out 5 year olds for who-knows-how long to get a new bass and an amp. ughhh.
I may just stop eating for two or three weeks and babysit my ass off and get the stuff.
i managed to scrape up some mney cause i got a job at a hairdressers (pretty fun, you get your hair cut for free ) and my allowence but i still needed alot so my dad bought it for me and i kept the money
bass - dad had a 40s bass we restored and gave to me
guitar - i work two jobs and bought it
trumpets (2) - where my grams
saxophone - was my brothers
oboe - stole from my high school
flute - a $10 from a garage sale
clierinets (2) - ebay (work money)
paino - old church sale begged parents (i was younger)
drum sets (2) - one was dad's old one the other was mom's old one
I do not own the others i play. Hopfully will soon. Basson, english horn, tuba, piccolo, etc. come ON.
mine were £20 each which means i spent £100 on guitars and bass all from ebay

Well, thanks for input everybody.
But, I think my mum has agreed to go halfs. For Christmas. IF I can get $130 before Christmas, she'll buy the other half. And, if I can't pay for a full half, then I work the rest off.
I have $116 now, so I'm not far off.
