Ok, where's the $50 bass, then?

the other threads were closed because they were a) flooding faster than we could deal with em and b) filling up with irrelevant crap, including inappropriate pictures. we do not have the manpower to babysit those kinds of threads.

i'm all for the enthusiasm shown toward this undiscovered mystery - and hopefully the orginal poster will share with us what he finally gets once ups shows up - but using this as an excuse to spazz like a bunch of toddlers freebasing pop-rocks is not gonna fly.
 
Hi.

Does this guy do well at it?

There was no mention about that, but generally it's a profitable bussiness. You have to have a solid understanding about wide variety of different walks of life though, especially about the daily values of the stuff that You're buying, a solid network of bulk buyers etc.
Remember, You're usually NOT the only one bidding for that lot, there's usually quite a few others.

It's not easy, but oh boy the variety of stuff that runs through Your hands ;). I could tell a story or two...

Regards
Sam
 
They've already done coke and pop rocks. Turns out it was a bit of a bust.

Holy cow, I just noticed your signature and then your Crook, then your location! haha I play in Open-Air Museum in Wheeling with Roger's son Travis.

Is this off topic? Good, cause everything else in this thread is too. hahaha

I've spent wayyyyy too much time at work keeping up with these 3 threads. haha

I'm guilty. :smug:

that means he'll probably have the bass later today!
 
All I now is that I need a # for the support group. Instead of directing a posse from Texas, I left work and was admitted into a rehab center for 8 hours. While there, I was forced to attend a Mystery Bass group therapy session with some fellow Central Texas TB'ers, and they were in the process of forming a MBA (mystery Bass anonymous) group when the hospital administrators discovered that all of the trauma was over a $50 bass that UPS was tardy in delivering.

Saying something about "we only help real people with real problems", I was booted unceremoniously from the facility, and I limped home to read the 2 threads before they got locked.

I only have one question: Which one of the UPS girls pictured is actually making the delivery? And (OK two questions), will the delivery by said girl result in letter to Penthouse Forum?

That is all, except Merry Christmas!:hyper:

Yeah, I was supposed to be one of the drivers for the posse 'cause I know how to drive in snow!

Then I THOUGHT I was getting a # for the Davenport Lynch Mob and instead I got #19 in some support group!?!?

You can't make this up!! :)

I LOVE this place-stuff like this takes my mind off REAL problems like the flood I had in my house over the weekend. I was laughing out loud at some of the stuff that was being posted and the humor came at a great time-when I really needed a good laugh!
