Ummm..... NOT!!!
I'll agree with that. there's too much work involved with trying to sort everything out.
Shucks, man, if I buy them, I'm not going to be doing that work myself. I think I'd haul them over to Bloke's and get him to polish them, for one thing.

Besides, everyone knows that you can't polish a turd! :shock: :D
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

I remember the first time I heard about this guy. Apparently he'd gone to Europe to buy tubas and bought what he thought were two 3/4 tubas that he could sell to his local Jr. High bands, uh, from the Gronitz factory.

Turned out that the Jr. High band players couldn't play low Bb on the tubas for some reason. The band directors didn't want anything to do with them. Someone walked into his store and found a bargain F Gronitz and he sold the other one by word of mouth.

That's the story I heard. I'd love to find someone who would authenticate it.

This sounds similar to an account a couple paragraphs into the 15th post in viewtopic.php?t=12140 .
