1 I'm not from Jersey Never lived or been there. 2 YOU e-mailed me privately, I'll post the letter if you like. 3 blow it out your @#$ till your nose bleeds. Al I guess that means your not happy, E.S.? Don't expect another reply you baby. In a message dated 6/1/00 7:49:51 AM Central Daylight Time, cavedivr@uf*.ed* writes: << 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. >> Tanks do not sell for $99 down here. The going price for a new tank is $129 (check JJ's shop - is anyone calling him a rip off?). Add the stainless bolt snaps at Extreme Exposure's price of $9.95 each (or more if you use the really big ones) and maybe $1 for 'string' and tubing and you arrive at a figure of $150 for the rigged tank. So explain to me again how selling this $150 (new) rigged tank for $100 (used) is a rip off? Now I suppose that someone could mail order a tank for your price of $99 then pay $40 in shipping down to Florida... Yeah, that would make sense... Open mouth, insert foot. Go away. -Erik AKimbrel@ao*.co* wrote: > Erik, > I don't sell used equipment. My girlfriend bitches at me all the time > because I have stock piles of used equipment.
