You see, the problem here is that this goober has been privately 'yelling at me'
for 'daring' to try to sell a used stage bottle for $100.  Why this is his
problem I'll never know.  Nothing better to do - needs a life I suppose.  He
says
I'm a problem because I'm 'trying to rip people off' by selling it for so much.
(BTW - I've never done business with him, met him, or anything)  Hell, he can
git
'em fer $100 brand spankin' new up thar in Jersey.  Well guess what Alvin, my
main man, I choose to live in Florida, not Jersey.

I had the audacity to explain to him, again in private, that the cost of a
properly rigged stage bottle (with stainless bolt snaps from EE) certainly makes
$100 a reasonable price for a used one in good shape.  Guess what - if you don't
like the price...  don't buy it!  Yes, it really is that simple!  For you,
obviously, $100 is too high a price.  For many others $100 is very reasonable.
Please see e-bay where people routinely pay $120 for used tanks with NO rigging
at all.

Al, you are clearly the type of person who would jump up and down in the middle
of a K-Mart with drool running down your chin yelling 'Don't buy your Fruity
Fruit Flavored Fruit Loops at K-Mart!  They're 10 cents cheaper at Wal-Mart!
K-Mart sucks, yeah, k-mart sucks, and I'm definitely not wearing my
underwear...'

Go away.
