It was a long time ago, and I didn't realize their potential. It was just more weight to me.

They are heavy aren't they?

This move I just did, I really didn't think I was going to survive. Like literally. I told the guys in the TUNA! thread, like, it's been a pleasure. The truck I drove was loaded SO far above its total max weight, by multiples. On turns, the truck would LEAN... We got 1/8th to 1/10 the gas mileage we were supposed to get. I drove that truck over icy mountain passes... but at the end of packing, I was just tossing shit, gave away a crest 610 power amp, thing was made of lead, gave away propane cylinders, just dumped shit. I know how it is. :(

What have you given away Hubb, besides you wit and vibrant energy?

Seller is like as soon as they come in, we'll ship it out to you. I was like I could have had it already from another seller, they're like don't worry, and promptly issued me a tracking number. A prospective tracking number, for the package they haven't shipped. I really hate sleezeballs.
That is some bullshit. Now that eBay has that super integrated postage/shipping system sellers do this thing all the time where I'll pay and five seconds later there is a tracking number and "marked as shipped", but they don't actually take the package to the post office for a week.

Whoever I bought my MicroBrute from on eBay (I think it was PixelProAudio) dicked me around like that for a while. They didn't ship and didn't ship. Then all they did when I complained was issue a tracking number. Post office didn't actually receive the item for another week.

a neumann mic from the sixties (that my own uncle half stole/ uses all the time after having borrowed/ sneakily spent a lot of money on repairing)

but in all honesty I only miss having an amazing mic and i have a brillaint one so it's fine. it means the world to my uncle whos this bob dylan singer song writer type who records all the time and it was originally quite fishy how I got it. a m8 found a bag of three neumanns and a shitload of choir mics in a suitcase while he was pissing in a small pond, drunk :D i mean that was too lucky to begin with so its probably in balance somehow now

Hello, despite the fact that I could have received the Volca Sample already from other sellers, I have agreed to wait until today to give you the benefit of the doubt. You have agreed to ship the Volca Sample by today, Wednesday 3/4/15. If you do not do so, I will contact pay pal and seek a refund.

Please, I've tried to work with you, but I will not be strung along by delaying tactics such as the issuance of tracking numbers for packages you have not given to the carrier, or promises to ship at successively later dates. It is a dishonest and disreputable thing to do.

Please ship the Volca Sample today, Wednesday 3/4/15.
I've never given negative feedback, from '99 til now. But I think this B is getting some.

Where the fuck was the Leprechaun? A suitcase with fucking 3 Neumanns in it? Are you f'ing kidding me? I honestly have dreams like that.

So you got the Neumanns, and are you saying your uncle borrow/stole it from you?

I recently decided to leave neutral feedback for a seller. Ordered a power supply they claim will power a Lexicon MX200. I get it, doesn't work. Find the same selling making the same claim on Amazon marketplace and two people with the same complaint. Doesn't properly power the MX200. At first I asked for a refund, then decided fuck it...they are just going to keep saying they work when they don't, so I left neutral feedback saying the offered a refund, but I refused in light of the fact that they had clearly gone on lying about what their product does.

In my experience those lower end lex racks are really finicky with their power. I've matched the required power specs with a lex alex, and it fucks up, but did work with the lex branded power supply.

I got one that seems to work fine thankfully. Got a heck of a deal. 110USD for the MX200

Most of it battery powerable, so when the lights go out, the beats go on.

VCRs as in the thing you play VHS on? Are you looking at really decent old toploaders or ones actually used professionally or something because I've always paid fuck all for the ones I have (and I've got 5)

Seriously. I used to use them on drums sometimes. I threw two in the garbage in the past six months because no one would take them for free off the porch/lawn even with a giant FREE sign.

Pahghghgh.

Was just bidding on another korg Sample. Fucker went for 120. I bid over that, and again, the bid just disappears, a few seconds later, the auction ends. So much weirdness with ebay. Are they fucking with snipers? Like fuck up your bids in the last seconds? I've lost two auctions now like this, and then in a third, I WON by bidding over what I wanted to pay (I think y'all remember the prophet '08 debacle of 2015)...

So that Six-Trak I just bought, I think, has a dead voice... NWJ rolling straight SNAKE EYES.
