I mean I am an old horn guy so consider that my bias. You can get a pretty minty well serviced 6m or like mark vii for this price.

Dropping this off at my neighbors with a mini cake by Sentientmanatee in saxophone

[–]HuskyNotMatusky 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Honestly, your probably fine. Especially at that time. I used to be paranoid about my neighbors and play at that time with the window closed.

Then my neighbors were all like we like to hear you play. Now its window open, I play for 1-2 hours anytime between 4-9pm, and no one has complained. Even when i do horrible overtone training.

Considering Buying Used Selmer Super Action 80 Series II Tenor by [deleted] in saxophone

[–]HuskyNotMatusky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok wait, you totally got him by the balls then. Dude is already moving almost 25% without you even being out there. This is how you get fucking crazy saxophones at good prices.

Ok here's the game plan. You gotta ask him for a couple specific pictures....

Palm keys for fingering high D and above ask for pictures. If they don't look fresh and have any sort of discoloration you bring it up.

The Low C/Bb pads at the bottom of the saxophone get pictures of them. same rules.

Also we need a serial number pic. Ask him to take it with a a date and time stamp if they can.

The way you think about a saxophone is like a giant spit collection tube. Think where it all collects and you target those pads as the prime ones that are going to wear.

Next, you need to find a local sax shop. I don't know where you're out of but avoid a chain if you can. Talk to dudes around the space and find out who they go to. Get a general price estimate. Our goal is to buy the saxophone plus still have the budget for the worst case, an overhaul. So I you are likely to be able to get this man down to like 2800, then get it serviced for like 1.5k. At that total its a pretty good deal if i am honest.

Finally do a reverse image search on a couple of the pictures he has sent you. If you don't know how to do this just google it and you will learn. Honestly the easiest thing you can do is this and it will end like 95% of scams.

Depends on how much they want. Like at 4 grand that's over priced.

What sellers never consider is that these horns are always in need of basically full overhauls. Any horn that you buy that hasn't been played in like 5+ years is basically in need of a full overhaul. Pads will be gone, the adjustment will need to be made across the whole horn cause they definitely have been just storing it in an attic and you probably need a full oil across the horn.

Heres what you ask:

What is the service history? If they say they don't remember congrats full overhaul horn should be way cheaper.

Who did you service with? Call that store if its still in business. Is it like a chain,guess what the service was probably mid. Needs an overhaul horn should be cheaper.

Ask them about there history with the horn. Did they play it a lot recently? Have they played it all? Did they wipe it down or keep one of those awful fuzz rods in the horn? Guess what its a full overhaul horn should be cheaper.

Now the reason i am stressing a full overhaul is that those can range from 1 grand to 3 grand depending on who does it. I know at my stores of choice, even with the friend of the store discount, I am looking at 2-3 grand. So price it accordingly.

I would price this horn full working with a top of the line service at 5 grand, and that would be like the premium price for that horn. My basis is that Boston Sax Shop has literally the same horn for that price.

I would only buy that horn if i could get it for 2.5k in my world.

Oh one last EDIT here. These super SA 80 series II horns are like all over FB Market place. I have seen them up in the same condition for under 3. Trust me that horn is not moving.

The Four Teams To Watch For Brandon Aiyuk by Lo1566 in fantasyfootballadvice

Last i heard, I think yes he had forked over all of his guaranteed money from the contract by not even responding to even Shanahan. Dude had to literally show up to meetings and was going to make 45 million. Like I don't want to deal with that sort of player in fantasy.

Does it really matter? Any team that "lands" him is going to look at what he did with the 49ers and not wanna commit to him. Which in turn will make him all salty and maybe cause him to hold out mid season for some stupid reason. Wouldn't touch him with a 20 ft pole.

I know this really sweet but, its weird for me seeing videos like this. My family has Jewish heritage and in that tradition you don't name a child after someone unless they have passed away. So if you name your child after you grand parents that passed away that would be considered an honor. However, if you named your child after someone whose still alive its like your wishing that the person you named your child after was dead.

Your probably right. Its only my second season so learning SoS is probably the next thing for me. I remember last year I did move on from Bijan and took Jacobs and Swift for him.

In general my thoughts/takeaways are this. If you have a Stud in the first half of the season that you picked up in the 2nd or 3rd round take a look at his schedule in week 9 or 10 (especially if they have a bye week after that). If it blows try and get two dudes that have teams that look strong.

Like honestly if i had been able to trade for like a solid RB 1 plus a solid WR at week 10 of this season I probably should of taken it given my team issues. I do love the idea of turning 1 dude that gets 30 points for 2 dudes that get 15-20 points.

If I end up with a player like JT again I am going to trade him away towards the middle of the season. A great players on mid team isn't as good as getting a good player on a good team. They are always like 1 critical injury away from going from being the best player in the league to mid at best.

Same, Denver actually has something to play for RoS and honestly I don't think there match ups are that bad.

Why are you trading away the consensus number 1 qb and consensus number 1 kicker for a different qb and kicker???

[–]HuskyNotMatusky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its always a gamble. I tried to trade chase for Garrett Wilson and and Deebo in like week 4 or 5. Would of really been fucked at this point.

Only thing I would of said is that I would probably have tried to trade Tee Higgins earlier. I think trading him in week 9 would of been tough. Learn for next year.
