    So....
    is this thread still available?
    What's the absolute lowest you can go on it?
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    "I've had this peice of gear and I didn't like it. I upgraded to the XYZ-XL2 - much more detail, cleaner bass, and better imaging. For those wanting to buy this one, they can alway dump it on e-bay and get the upgraded version later."

    I wish I had a dollar for everyone that chimed in with something like that...

    Glad you could all have some fun at my expense. I guess no one really cares to take this seriously.

    I'm sorry but the item (common sense) has been sold to someone over at Audioholics. They seem like nice folks over there so perhaps........................

    Come on H9, don't take it personal; we are just having a little fun. We all love the FM and I particularly will do anything in my hands to keep it a safe place for us to exchange some gear. I just think the rules are a bit stiff and unless someone's comments somehow jeopardize the sale, I am not against replies/bumps.

    Actually H9, I think we are agreeing with you (at least I am) that most of the replies do little, if anything, to promote the item up for sale. It amazes me that people sometimes even post that they didn't like the item when they owned it!

    The above post (#42) was said with tounge firmly planted in cheek. I'm not upset, perhaps a bit miffed no one really sees this as a problem, but certainly not upset. It started out as more of a friendly reminder and to spur a bit of intelligent discussion. Ha, what was I thinking "intelligent discussion" with all these clowns :D

    I think we need to come up with a hit squad that we can send out to any who post in the FM and rip-off a fellow member and summarily dole out punishment!!!

    Perhaps a Bad Sellers List, with name and reason. Also a place where the seller can explain and defend the mishap.

    Possible Rip-off!!! I think H9 is trying to sell the contents in this thread to multiple buyers.

    "FS: One thread gone off in a tangeant at Polk Forum, contact H9" -NY Times

    "Badly damaged thread needs good home and TLC. -call H9" -Washington Post

    "Thread worth $35million USD, share 40% investment -H9" -Nigerian News

    buyer beware!!!!

    Just send "Uncle Jesse"......nuff said. I take it that **** Deanguitarpl still hasn't made good on anything concerning you? I tell you, you only have to let your guard down once and BAM. That's ok he'll get whats coming to him. What goes around ALWAYS comes around. I know that little consolation.

    P-Thuggy, I'm in top secret negotiations and I can't comment directly or indirectly or at all about the possible multiple sales to multiple entities of the public information contained here within this thread.
