you might have a different outlook if the same lowballers come to the same meet every month and do the same thing... over and over.

to be clear, that scott 299 was worth like $100+ in its condition in the 90s. especially with the original telefunken tubes. for guys like @Nataku who know what i'm talking about, we call these units "tube farms".. because at the very least, the beat POS is still worth it to grab the tubes. my friend was just looking to lighten the load. he knew the tubes were the real prize.

Sounds like your friends are also assholes. I would never **** my own **** up just to prove a point but ymmv.

Just tell em to **** off and be done with it. Smashing some cool **** on the ground just be extra, seems....extra. Even if the value is relative.

Anyway, I'll be over here minding my own business and quietly snatching the good **** from under motherfuckers noses. Have fun out there boys.

Just load up on refried beans, crop dust the store and gas the competition out.
Hahah that was my friend's tactic during his university years. Go up to the dance floor, drop bombs near some cute girls and then go to the bar. Afterwards he'd just reeled them in when they fled the dance floor to go and get a drink.

I disagree. To me, it sounds like, in the face of repeated provocation, @Centaurus3200 friends replied with a denial of service.

I've done far more, for far less. Good for them for sticking a finger in some idiot's eye. In the words of the sage Bill Burr, "Go *************".

I found the nicest Goodwill in my area today but there were no Ferragamo shoes.


Then again I never checked the shoe section because I've never thrifted shoes for myself. And I have yet to flip anything that I have thrifted ?
