They're mostly not popular because they tend towards mid and lofi, rather than hifi. There are obviously exceptions, but the perception remains.

I just lit the charcoal, I'm gonna grill some ny strips.

Just get a set of VTGs todd, you can afford it.

I reply Give him time, I'm sure he's overwhelmed, he just opened back up. I could give you his wife's cell #, maybe that'd help. I keed, I keed.

Of course people want to get what they paid or more for things. As a seller, you should always strive to maximize what you get. As a buyer, only pay what you think something is worth. That's how economics works. It takes 2 parties to determine value: 1 party decides what they're willing to sell something for, and the other party decides what they're willing to pay. If they can come to an agreement, there's a sale.

emojack, you should definitely buy todd's quads.

You haven't noticed? Todd upgrades more often than akwok

Postjack is kind of sad, so everything he reads goes through that filter. He's emo

I bet thrice would.

No I do understand exactly what you mean, and that's why I was arguing. You're calling people who want to make money selling gear dicks. Since it's the SELLER who edits the price, obviously the seller doesn't object to the buyer selling for what it's worth. I objected to you calling anyone who would sell something they own for more than they paid a dick. You said I misunderstood, I don't think I did. But anyway, we both know what we mean, you think I'm a dick, and I think you're a whiney bitch communist.

So you're saying you didn't mean that you're a dick if you sell used gear for more than you paid?

I didn't say be nice, I was saying to expect an argument if you use fighting words.

I'm not the one whining, vag.

Point is the same, one is a neutral statement, the other is an attack. If you'd said "Gee, I wish people wouldn't do that, it makes it harder to price things", you get different responses than "The only reason people would do that is because they are evil people who believe in making money"

But you didn't say pointless, you said the person doing it was a dick.

Just like Greg House!

Then when you sell stuff, don't delete the price.

I'm about 2 feet from my macbook 13", and smilies look fine to me Btw, is the "postjack is a dork" smiley.

I could care less whether people know the price I paid when I sell, I don't delete the prices in threads where I was the buyer. As a seller, I do it as a courtesy to the buyer. It also makes it very clear to people 6 months from now who would otherwise PM me asking if it's still available. But I'm more of a feudalist than a communist...

Yup, that's what I'm talking about

The pico will be $500-600, the apogee is about $850 with firewire or usb. But this is head-case, isn't it? You ARE the guy who spent $300 modding a $50 dvd player?

I would be hard pressed to buy a $150 amp to use with a $150 sound card. Use the $150 sound card until the pico comes out, then sell it and get an apogee minidac
