Re: Gear lust got me again
John you should talk to me anytime you think of buying something.
I tend to be the exact opposite of you in many ways, except I do buy a lot of gear.
I just don't sell very much of it at all. I fucking pine over the cost and wait sometimes years before purchasing until it's on sale.
I bought about $1,300 worth of software in the last 6 months, all of it on sale or used, so normally around $2,600.
I hadn't bought anything new to speak of in years before that though.
I don't sell much because by the time it goes sale I've really figured out whether I'll use it or not and the initial gear lust part is gone.
I'm basically you combined with Scrooge McDuck!

A proper gear luster doesn't return itemsH20nly wrote:- why don't you return it to the store you purchased it at?john gordon wrote:Went out and picked up the BeatThang for 750.00.

usually they wait until 1 day after the return window expires to get rid of the item.
they never use the item when its in their possession,
they just leave it out in the open and walk buy it once in a while to encourage buyers remorse.
they buy things only when they dont need nor want the item
then sell it as soon as possible ( 1-2 days after they can no longer return it) for quick gas or beer money.
he on the other hand took the whole gear lust/buyer hoarding, to a level few lusters have achieved
its called quicly flipping to get a flop. when flipping an item you get a profit, with the quick flip/flop technique you loose money but its ok, as long as you can get a pack of smokes or drink a couple 40's wit ya boys.

Re: Gear lust got me again
I purchased it too long for any sort of return.im seriously
done buying any sort of gear as of now,obviously I will want live and push but that's it. I will probably wait until you guys say yeah or nay when it comes to push though,
BeatThang could be a great machine if it had some of the bugs worked out.
I'm happy to 350 for it at this point. And yes what happened to starving student? I hope he is ok..
