Story not quite right. What about the Esquire? Broadcaster? No-caster?

Heh heh heh... :twisted: Anything for some "eyeballs on the ads."

IF it was "for real" let sonny flog it on ebay, then take the guys at the shop out for a nice $$$ dinner, thanx for letting him know the real value. Or buy 'em each another tat. :razz:

Gimme the router, I'll add another pickup! ;) Or two. Hm, that paint sure could be improved....

I would have paid 13k in a heartbeat.

I paid a lot less than that for the one in my avatar which is like new and it came with a mint 51 Tweed Deluxe.

Of course everybody knows all those reality shows are scripted.

But we can play make believe.

The few experiences I have ever had with people like that is to put a lot of miles between my money and those thieves.

On a brighter note, I saved 15% on car insurance.

Tele is a slow seller. They never sell for the retail you see. I would have paid no more than 15 and traded it at 20. This isn't robbery, it's called selling shit in reality.

Everyone wants more than all the money. That's more wrong than crashing the market outright.

The gym I go to has a row of TVs , a couple of which always seem to be playing that show, no matter what time of day or night I go. Yesterday I saw one that had some meth-head looking guy bring in what he was trying to pass off as Hank Williams Sr.'s guitar amp. Asking price, $450,000 (suck on that, HAD). Ancient, beat to shit Masco. The obligatory "expert" was summoned. Variac? Light bulb limiter? Nah, brah, plug it in and see if it works. :roll:
