true story about a member with big nuts ::
a few days ago - i got a pm from a member to ask if i had for sale --any boxes of one certain brand and size range --
i sent him back a list of 3 model numbers that 'fit' --ONE of them is sort of well known -
but the other two boxes are so rare --that PROBABLY--most members have never heard -or even heard of them !!
this guy has no BBDB (yet) --and , as i guessed -had no idea about what these other 2 looked like, sounded like, features , etc etc
all he knew -- is that i told him that all three looked and worked very well --and he knew the price for all three COMBINED.
of course - i then expected the usual::
requests for detailed pics from 22 angles
.
and a long array of performance questions ...
instead - he asked for my paypal --and---sent all the money !!!
and mind you -it was sort of a serious amount.
since then -- we have been in touch about the shipping address and then the tracking number --
but -by now - all 3 boxes are on the way --and he STILL has not asked for even one picture --
and he honestly has no idea of anything about the other 2 mystery boxes that he bought !!
anyhow - its probably not yet time to mention the guys name --or any of the 3 model numbers--
and he mentioned that he may be away for a week or two -while they are delivered-
so ---he has to wait to learn what he bought , and i have to wait to find out if he likes them--
and this story has to wait till all that happens
but i just could not wait to to tell all --that among us is a very 'cool customer'

Wow, heck of a story Ira but how did you find someone gullible enough to believe everything you said.
Just kidding, I can't wait for the Rest of the Story!
this long wait is the bummer

Hiliarious! .....Great story & cliffhanger. Waiting to exhale.....
Ira, that sounds worse than me!!
its a tie
No Ira, no tie, not even close. The boxes were shipped. Risk was taken...or the poor sap was taken...well something was took
...anyway, Vladi still has not had a date since the Geico cavemen were relative.
WOW thats pretty gutsy. Was the member in question DM4U???.
nope
My guess is Godsmacked.
nope

Actually, it's been even longer than that
Very cool avatar, by the way!!
And back to the topic - the buyer was Ira???
another long week or more to find out --
all thats known so far is that the big carton with all 3 boxes has been delivered-
and the other matter - i forgot to post -
is that the total price for all three boxes was VERY dependent on the value of the 2 mystery boxes !!
this is way too cool for comfort
Was it Jeff (JLF)? He seems far enough away to avoid you being hurt for scheisting him.
Thanks for the props on the avatar too vladi. A big ups goes to Daiwa. He did the mod to the photo adding the text.
no more guessing allowed
hey oldy -
Daiwa did a commendable job --
except he forgot to erase that clown in the middle
