Personally, I've always enjoyed 'lurid enticements'.the elephant wrote:I When they got too bad they were changed out for new ones with equally lurid enticements.

It was so bad in the shops in London when I was there Parliament actually passed a law that said the stores had to post a disclaimer small print on their signs about whether or not the item was advertised for a higher price within the last thirty days, in order to constitute a real "sale," or disclaim otherwise.

Gee, I thought it was only the oriental rug shops that always had those.the elephant wrote:banners over the door that screamed LOST OUR LEASE! EVERYTHING MUST GO NOW! PRICES UP TO 85% OFF! GOING OUT OF BUSINESS! (Or something very similar.)
And, it's true. GOING OUT OF BUSINESS! SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE, WHEN I OR MY HEIRS GET GOOD AND TIRED OF HAWKING THESE THINGS AND THROW IT IN FOR GOOD...

It's certainly better than hanging a "Rip-Off!" sign outside!schlepporello wrote:it's more of a case where the word "Sale" has no literal meaning anymore other than to indicate that a merchant is selling something.

Perhaps the word "Sail" should be used. Playing tuba on a boat is always a good thing. Did the Titanic have a tuba player? Hmmmm? No? And look what happend.
Okay

Interesting thread here….
We are going to be changing some things here in the near future. Mainly all of our heavy weight original tuba mouthpieces are going to be updated and improved by making them all closer to the weight, and outside dimension of the Alan Baer MMVI signature model mouthpieces.
So if you like the heavy weight mouthpieces… they will not be around forever. Although we do have a decent inventory of most of the heavy weights at the moment.
Thank you to everybody who has posted on this thread, and given me food for thought when allowing other parties to take over and edit my Ad campaigns via google and yahoo.
Take care
