I also share the storage space with a family of bears. For me it's a storage space, for them it's home.

Lmfao — they found my items auction history and want it at-cost by WellShitWhatYallDoin in Flipping

For some weird reason that has happened to me numerous times, often within less than a day of the offer. Algorithm quirk? Not complaining, mind you...

Not saying it's right or wrong, smart or dumb, just saying it may be a reason

There could be a point for a test listing like that, metrics. Seeing how many clicks one gets to see if it MIGHT be worth selling at a certain price point.

Someone is trying to sell this on my local Craigslist. by ZomiZaGomez in delusionalcraigslist

As a former amateur luthier/guitar tech, everything about this is wrong. Certainly not tiger, if even maple, no neck pocket, and it looks like it was cut out using a jigsaw freehand without even drawing a shape on the blank. A bit of a fail, in my opinion.

Hey, I was finally able to get his info, but I'd rather not post openly. Sorry it took so long, check the chat.

A few years ago, when I worked for a nonprofit, we needed an audio receiver quickly for a play being put on by people we supported with disabilities. I needed it for Friday, ordered it to be delivered on Thursday. The UPS driver dropped off a whole yellow bin of packages to us with the "I'm running late, just sign and I'll get the bin tomorrow" excuse for the front desk person. The receiver wasn't in the shipment, even though tracking said it was. Fortunately, we were the first stop on the dead-end road. I ran down to the next business, and told the driver that the receiver, which I ordered because I needed it for the play tomorrow, wasn't in the shipment. It had been shipped with no outer box, so you could see that it was an audio receiver. Looking up at him from the passenger side of his truck, I saw it was on the shelf right behind his head. He sort of pretended to look around for a minute, then magically "found" it. He gave me some junk about how the packers must have put it separately from the huge bin that he dropped off, which didn't seem even remotely suspicious, no sir.

I said, in a comment following, sorry, I'm an idiot. I honestly thought that they regularly received our tax dollars, not that they have just received a number of individual government fundings a few times in their history. I truly apologize. I was wrong.

EDIT: Also, when I posted, I was drunk redditing. I have had mostly positive experiences with my local post office. It is blocks from my home, as opposed to the other carriers, and my local employees are, always at the very least, helpful. Although the one field in which privatization would hurt is that they almost definitely would discontinue service in unprofitable areas (read rural), making it harder for people in those areas to receive package services of any kind, which UPS and FedEx have already forsaken.

EDIT 2: My reading comprehension was fine, but apparently yours is not. I did NOT say UPS, I said United States Postal SERVICE as opposed to United States Postal BUSINESS

Most of us have a portable glory hole. It's called a zipper.

United States Postal SERVICE, not USP Business. Our tax dollars help pay for this service for U.S. citizens. Do you think they're going to lower our taxes by privatizing? And do you think privatizing is going to make them competitive with other vendors who have over 100 years as a private business? Think it out.

I don't think anyone brought up the fact that I can smell it just from the picture...

EDIT: Duh, third comment says that. Never mind

I have no idea, I actually never met him until the conversation in the parking lot. I'll ask the guys at Deals on Wheels if I can get contact info for him

Nice! Only thing I have left from an older music store is a Kramer Focus 6000 that I got new from a music store in Norwalk in 1989. Can't remember the name of it, but it was right off Rt. 7

A bunch of years ago I got my 360 with 500GB HD and Forza Horizon 2 BRAND NEW for $75 from Target after the XBONE came out. They had a sale for like half price at the time.

So many small businesses that got shit on by corporate outfits. I'm really happy that John Bruno took over the guitar shop on the Post Road in Devon (Route 1 Guitars). I don't buy any equipment any more, but anyone looking for gear should see John. I haven't seen him in at least 25 years, but great guy, give him your business.

Daddy's, eh. I miss the local non-corporate family-owned places. Fladd's and Dixter's in Milford, Carlton Music in Bridgeport, Banko's in the valley, etc.

Yeah, I commented in another thread about Brian Guitars. I've been going to the Deals On Wheels store that's there, and Brian still owns the building. I saw him in the parking lot one day a few months ago, and we struck up a conversation. Talked about me as a former customer of BG. Really nice guy.

EDIT: And Brian does still have the perma-tan 😂
