Dumb CL Ad's pt 5, Dumbester and Dumberest

This one just has me scratching my head.
Last I knew, wedding planners liked to book bands with songs that everyone knows and has fun with, you know, like YMCA, Brick House, 'Stang Sally, dig? What this cat is trying to do has me baffled. But, then again, maybe I'm just some out of touch old white guy.

Futurist Love/Wedding Band Forming (Rancho Cucamonga, CA)

Currently, we have DSI, Moog & Kurzweil synthesizers as well as grooveboxes, and guitars. We are looking for a few more actors, comics, singers, instrumentalists (drummer-percussionist) who are keen on jazz/showtune styles, progressive, through ambient/contemporary electronic.

Buzz-word much?

"What a great crowd! Hey, how 'bout that bride? Wearing white and everything...amazing what a wedding can do to alter the past, eh? Good thing the groom has amnesia, ya know? Or is he just the trusting type? And those bridesmaids...who'da thought that dairy cows could wear strapless dresses in those colors? Wow..."

Wanting to trade "Big Ticket" medical device for lower end Tele

I have a very expensive Medical electro-therapy device that retails for $1400.00 or more, and I am looking to trade it for a Squier, Jay Turser, Yamaha, or other lower ended Tele-style guitars. If you suffer from any kind of muscle or back pain, it would be well worth your time to consider this trade, as you would be coming out on the better end of the deal. Please call me at xxx-xxx-xxxx, if you are interested in what I have to offer in trade. Thank you.

I'm actually 90% sure I know what the guy is talking about, and if it's legit it is worth what he says it's worth (or more). I've used them at half a dozen physical therapy places and they do work. Weird. Very weird. But worth the trade for someone like myself.
 
The machine is kinda-sorta an electronic masseuse, right? I've had PT that included using something that, IIRC, essentially passes an electric current thru whichever muscle group the contacts are applied to as a way of loosening/warming up the muscles prior to the therapist's work...or something like that. This was awhile ago.

Kind of an odd item for the random person to have just sitting there collecting dust.

Unless he has some sort of terminal illness, has given up on surviving, and wants to play a ****** telecaster until he dies in pain. Or maybe someone gave it to him and he's better now? Who knows. Someone should ask. Because that is weird as ****. Lol.
 
Consider this pre-haggled. Michael is offering his MIM Strat at $200 less than his asking price right off the bat. I bet you would take $400 for it... easy.

Hi my name is Michael,

I'm selling my Stratocaster Fender Guitar.

The thing is that since I put alot of stickers on it without thinking of the consequences of what would happen. I removed all the stickers and it left some of the sticker behind. I cleaned most of it off so thats no problem. Another issue is that as you see in the picture the back part of the guitar has gone missing but everything is still in tacked. The big problem is that I has collected alot of dust everything needs to be really cleaned. The guitar sounds really good like if it was brand new.

Here is what I want to do. I want to either sell this fender or trade it with someone for and Ipad 2, Ipad 3 or Itouch 5th gen. Since it has so much stuff wrong with it I will take $400 for it easy.

You can text me or call me 323-743-5737
or email me
 
If he means a TENS machine, you can get small ipod-sized versions for about £20 in the UK now, with a heat/massage setting included.

No he doesn't. What he's talking about is a unit that has 4-6 sticky things with wires (sorry I don't know the name). They are placed in certain spots. I've been to 60+ PT sessions. I KNOW where to put the electrodes (right word?). Then there is a voltage meter. More or less is a knob thing. If you know the machine you know where to put them and you control the knob yourself.

I have a blown out disc and a massively (MASSIVE) scarred sciatic nerve. I actually looked into building my own. I still might. They help. No bs. They help. Period. It's just that he is selling to a VERY specific market. That reduces return. Just a fact.

All I'm saying is blow out your disc, get TWO open spinal surgeries, in TWO countries, see 30+ specialists at 4+ hospitals, do 90ish PT sessions, and then you will value this machine. I take a LOT of pain killers just to live a life you would hate. I ****ing promise you would hate it. Wanna jump? Nope. Wanna run? Nope. Wanna do the **** you're used to? NO.

You can't get it unless you are where I am and where WE are, and by that I mean people with horrible nerve scarring and an inability to WALK. WALK. Ya. I can't walk like a normal person.

Sorry. I feel bad. I feel like I was being a dick. I do. It's just that this is VERY personal. And anyone in my boat would trade places with anyone else for a billion dollars. Easy.

Let me translate:

I have a medical device that I stole out of a doctors office. I can't name it because the owner is looking for it and I don't want to get caught. I can't pawn it either, b/c the pawn shop won't touch it, so someone please give me a guitar for it that I can sell more easily instead.

I wasn't trying to say the machine was worthless. I know what chronic back pain is like, so please don't presume that I don't. I may not suffer from it myself, but my mother does so I have seen it first hand and the effects it has. I bought her a TENS machine myself a few years ago to help with it. The description you gave still sounds rather like one to me. This other machine might be a bigger, more expensive version of it, possibly with additional features, but it sounds like they use a fairly similar design. TENS machines also use sticky pads, controls for speed etc. I was just trying to point out for those that do suffer from chronic pain and don't have a spare Telecaster lying around or a spare couple of thousand dollars, that there is a cheaper, drug-free alternative which may help.

Ummm...why is this dumb?
 
Ummm...why is this dumb?

Just my. 02 but why no link or name for the online museum? Have you checked prices for what those old cheap drugstore Japanese guitars are being sold for lately? I've seen old Teisco's selling for outrageous prices that I know for a fact sold for 30 dollars new. I know because I once bought one new years ago as my first electric guitar. It was a POS then and probably even worse now.

That post could be a way to get old Japanese guitars for free or next to nothing and then sell or part them out for profit.
 
Not sure if this is a good deal or not. He talks a lot about the drums but no details about the drummer.
