My Dummy Car

In the world of collecting one of the key factors in the valuation of an item’s originality. Just because a ventriloquist doll has a head, body, hands and legs do not always say you’re buying a complete figure. As with all other collectibles if component parts have been modified or replaced by something else devaluation occurs. If you are a dummy Frank Marshall and the head is then placed in an auto body Finis Robinson you devaluation that occurs. Yes it is a complete ventriloquist dummy, but not correctly.

If you buy a Jaguar car, but the location of the Jaguar engine with a Chevrolet engine, so the car can run much better, but it will never be worth what it was before the engine swap. Now in the automotive world as a car gets reupholstered, new paint, new chrome, and the engine rebuild etc, you certainly bring back the value and sometimes more often than not, the vehicle will be worth more than the actual value of the antique car. Ventriloquist dummies in the opposite happens. When an original dummy’s paint and then you automatically lose value. Originality is the key to the greatest value. A ventriloquist dummy with original paint, wig, body, hands, even clothes will command the highest prices in return.

I have bought a ventriloquist dummy that is stored away in a cellar and when you touched the dummy literally fell apart. It was fully dismantled and is now back together and a wonderful example of a Mack figure, but it is worth the same as a completely original figure? In most cases the answer is no. These special Mack is such a premium rate number after the restoration has a great value, but the repair costs much higher than the value of the figure. This is also a fact that you must take into account. Restoration costs by a real pro can be very expensive and take a lot of time. You must ensure that the ventriloquist dummy is worth the cost and time before continuing.

When I was a track star days, I ran miles. I’ve always been very good, irrespective of the clip I was running, and won so many races. I was winning streaks, which lasted for several seasons to follow in succession, and the end of the year. One thing I used to do, and I didn’t understand how bad it was until I looked at some videos, I have had behind. My coach would tell me, if I want to improve my time, all I had to stop just behind and focus on what I was doing.

In fact, it seems that he was right when I stopped looking back I was concentrating more on what I was doing, and listens to the steps behind me, while I could tell if someone is already close, so I knew when to kick, pick up the pace, and Sprint. Anymore, catch me who the second athlete goes to me, if they went to happened to me, I already knew that they were coming, and have already adjusted my stride.

Interestingly enough, when I have finished my time behind a decrease of 5 s, and remained there continuously. I was wasting time, energy, and makes itself a major disservice by looking back. Since I was going faster, it was difficult for the other runners catch me, and that is why they didn’t. Proves this strategy worked, and I want to tell you a little advice;

Stop Looking Back, Dummy

If you want to get more out of life and move forward, then you must look forward. If you look back and concentrate on what was, that’s where you’ll end up. If you worry about the past, or your past adversities you will repeat them. If you stare in the rear view mirror you are liable to crash into your future reality, as you get rear ended. If you look to your right, chances are your car will start moving out of your lane into the lane next to you.

During my days as a track star, I ran the mile. I was always extremely good no matter which bracket I was running in, and I won a good many of the races. I had winning streaks that lasted many track seasons in a row, and years on end. One thing I had a habit of doing, and I didn’t realize how bad it was until I looked at some of the videos, was I kept looking back. My coach would tell me if I wanted to improve my time all I had to do was stop looking back and concentrate on what I was doing.

In fact, it turns out he was right, when I stopped looking back I was concentrating more on what I was doing and listening for footsteps behind me, after a while I could tell if anyone was even close, therefore, I knew when to kick, pick up the pace, or Sprint. No longer, was I caught off guard by another athlete passing me, if they went to pass me, I already knew they were coming and had already adjusted my stride.

Interestingly enough, once I stopped looking back, my time dropped 5 seconds, and it stayed there consistently. I was wasting time, energy, and doing myself a huge disservice from looking back. Since I was going faster, it became harder for the other runners to catch me, and therefore, they didn’t. Turns out this strategy worked and let me give you a little bit of advice;
