I actually gave my friend cash to buy speakers out of a van for me sight unseen. I had to re-solder all the connections but I beat the crap outa them for years.

they actually were decent speakers. the cases were nice looking, and they sounded nice....they were something like $150 a set to us...probably would have sold for $400 in a store.....it was all a big come on...a dog and pony show. If you didnt pay too too much for them, they were fine. but we would tell them that they usually sold for $1200 a pop....making people think they were some super high end stuff....and this was an opportunity to get a steal of a deal. We also sold the odd cd player or reciever from time to time....so much effort.

The Betting Tips thread has gotten some interesting new arrivals.

It is pretty funny how over-the-top rude and annoying they are, yet beg UT not to ban them.

I got offered them several times but no.

When I was a young kid I got tooken by some dude in an Atlantic City casino who sold me his stupid jewelry saying it was diamond and 14k gold. He got about $150 out of me which was good money for a young kid at the time.

But I didn't learn, I went for a lease deal on this truck and the dude sold me tire insurance. Tire insurance, can you believe it?

when you pop those tires just before you return the vehicle and get brand new ones for free... instead of a bill to replace them right before your lease matures, you'll feel vindicated.

(This is true and I have run over gawd knows what in this vehicles history... without worry)

Jeeeezus, fresh, screw the fat lady beggar, you really got scammed on those speakers.

Back Of A Van speakers would go for about $250 a pair on campus, at most. Stolen shit is supposed to be cheaper, that's the moral tradeoff for the buyer.

no, no, see at Jewel/Osco they really bring the high end stuff, he paid a fair price.

I live in phoenix where the top three professions are as follows:

1) stripper (seriously, more strip clubs than mcdonald's)
2) escort
3) beggar

Our beggars work in shifts at all the interstate on/off ramps. I refuse to give them anything unless their cardboard sign is either really funny or really honest (I won't lie, I just need a beer is always a winner). It is seriously a profession for a lot of these people. Down town is another story though. These people are the real deal. I give them give certificates to the grocery store or fast food. i don't care if they buy beer with it, i just don't want them buying crystal with my help.

I worked at a craft store years ago, and this woman stood in front of 12 feet of craft paint looking intently at it as I was stocking shelves. After about 3 or 4 minutes she says"soooo, this is paint?" I took a break asap

[Cicero]
