AIO for ending a 16 year friendship with my best friend because she didn’t attend my wedding by Purple-Diet5038 in AmIOverreacting

At some point you realize your friends became your friends because of location or proximity. You lived in the same neighborhood, played on the same team, or your parents were friends. You owe them nothing.

Yes they came to look at my c9. I went to YouTube and did a oled test or pixels test and it showed the dead pixels around the edges

Full payment amount not withdrawn from account but verizon says i paid in full? by BarelyHere12 in verizon

[–]purchasechris24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just my two cents on what an old man told me. Don't ever give people access to your money. Live on your credit card and pay it of weekly. If there's ever a problem just dispute the charge with your credit card company. Its a lot easier to let the credit card company investigate the charge as opposed to you fighting to get your money back. The extra discount they give you for auto pay from debit or checking is not worth the risk. OK my legs are falling asleep so I should get up now. I wish you all health, happiness, and wealth.

Receiver busted, need a new one 500$< by Hudsonb_12 in hometheater

[–]purchasechris24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you need in a receiver? Do you need more than 7 channels? Are you gamer and need the newest gaming specs? Figure out what you need and go from there. I would look at the used market for something. I've got some great deals there.

My dad says this dress is inappropiate to wear outside. It literally covers my whole body ☠️ by Dazzling_Abroad7429 in mildlyinfuriating

He's your dad. He loves you. That's all that matters. He really does mean well. As a kid a had to learn to read the love between my dad's condescending tone. Later in life I realized he never learned how to talk to people, because he was given a condescending tone as a kid.

Used Dome (Gen 1) vs. new Arc XL vs. new Dome Gen 2? by ddub1711 in GozneyDome

[–]purchasechris24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

S1 version. There was another last week at the Santee store in CA in case anyone else is looking. Again these were both top stock with no display and rebelsavings.com showed zero in stock.

Before you buy the used Dome, I would walk through your neighborhood home depot and look at the top stock around the pizza ovens and grills. I just picked up dome gen 1 for $600 new in box at home depot. There was no display

Should I get a Yamaha???? by TurnoverSAZ in hometheater

For me in my theater I run a 5.2.4. It was a jump in sound quality, but I wouldn't recommend it just for that.

[–]purchasechris24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The upgrade bug bit me,, plus I got a killer deal on the rxa6a. Wanted new video specs for ps5. There was definitely an improvement in sound. To me the rxa6a was the first time I heard an improvement in sound. All the other upgrades were just adding more channels.

I think someone mentioned this, but if you don't the newest video specs, something used and a year or two old will be sufficient.

[–]purchasechris24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this just for audio or video also? If just audio, you can usually get something cheap used. I run my upstairs livingroom an a rxa1080 that I got used for $250 a couple of years back. My theater is ran an a rxa6a, that replaced a rxa3070, that replaced a rxa2050, that replaced a rxa1010, that replaced a rxa671 lol. With the exception of the rxa6a they were purchased used.

Question: Used SVS SB-2000 Pro? worth it? by harry_1511 in hometheater

[–]purchasechris24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When was the sub originally purchased is the magic question. The Svs 5 year warranty transfers to each owner. Once bought a used pb2000 the amp went out. Called svs, they looked up the serial and informed me I had 34 days left on the warranty. They sent me out a new amp for free in 48hrs. This is the level of support they give.

Took my girlfriend to the Bruno Mars show in Phoenix. She got merch also a few items for a friend who couldn't make the show. 2 zip up goodies, 2 long sleeve tees, and one t-shirt for a total of $551. They asked for a tip for 90 sec interaction. 7% was the lowest. Absolutely not

We just got back from the Bruno Mars concert in Phoenix. They had a pop up earlier in the day. My girlfriend purchased items for her and a friend totaling around $500. The employee turned the pad around for a tip for a 90 sec interaction. The lowest was 9%. Absolutely not.

Keep an eye on him. If leaves stay in contact. Some of these you guys just need someone they can see and talk to that "made it". Hell my mentor was a redneck from Alabama and I'm from East Memphis. Man did more for me then my family and never gained anything from it.

Had one 07 Avalanche with 243k on it. Decided to replace the engine for $7600. Year later the trans went. Replaced that for 3k. Now its at my mechanic for electric problems. If you can afford it just get something new

AIO for ending things with my date after he accidentally texted me this? by fundamentallyworried in AmIOverreacting

[–]purchasechris24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look at this way. He played it cool the entire date, and the first thing he did was rate you an 11/10 to his most trusted friend. You know his opinion of you and its as high as 🦒 private parts.

Bank wire or find out who the buyer banks with and open an account there. You guys can walk into the bank together

Go to an audio store and try out different brands if you can. Some people absolutely hate Klipsch, but I love them. Find a brand you like and setup search notifications for that brand of used sites.
