can someone please tell me something

[SelenaBassGirl]

I had been looking for a rack tuner for a couple weeks now..and yes, I am now waiting for one , and yes I will post pictures when I get it...
but I saw one listing for a tuner
it said "tuner is in practically new condition!" Then the next sentence says "doesn't work"

ok, how can something be "practically new" and yet doesn't work? Like oh yes, I bought that yesterday, it worked, then I dropped it and it's practically new cause I bought it yesterday but btw, it is broken! lol!
if the person who sold it is on here, sorry, just thought it was sort of funny

and I passed up on a beautiful bass on Craigslist awhile back. The listing said bass $150, doesn't work. Then it goes and shows a picture of back and front. My boyfriend and I looked at the back and saw the battery cover and same time said "dead battery or doesn't know one went in there!" He called for me and I was gonna get it for $95 but decided IN CASE it really wasn't the battery, then I'd be out of luck. But I didn't want to ask the kid, "um, do you have a 9V battery I can hold for a min??" find out it did work, and the boy changes his mind on selling it...So I passed it up. Now I am cause I didn't get it.

Do yourself a favor, go buy one of these:



Why?

1. It can be had brand-new for about $100
2. It is at least as accurate (my opinion moreso) than any rack tuner in existance
3. It will give you an instant "snapshot" of all strings tuning in an instant
4. When using it onstage, you don't have to turn around to see it, which you WILL need to do with a rack tuner

Seriously, I've been through dozens of tuners, both rack & stomp box, and this thing is the BEST I've ever used.
