Victrola!

[vicarz]

If I just buy the one I know about, not only will I have one less thing to think/worry about, but...it'll be one less thing. And one more thing.

Minus - I could hunt one down for less, that much is clear.
Plus - it's restored / refurbished (supposedly), has all of the record holders which is extra cool and very rare from what the net has shown me, it lets me continue my boycott of eBay, and Jill said so. Jill is usually right when she takes the time to tell me something 7 or 8 times or so.

eBay - buying things from strangers based on trust. Yeah, I don't trust people I know, why would I have faith in some strangers across the country? The pay guarantees are weak.

Restored - Never thought about that. I'm torn - mostly I just want it for the nostalgia I would feel personally...same way I like listening to Mary Hopkins or Tom Waits (who just sounds like he's on a victrola...drunk). At the same time, value is a nice benefit as well. Argh - tough decision.

Boo, just buy the damn thing already! Or I will never stop hearing about the one in Newport that almost was *LOL*

Oh and you...

referred to me as Jill on line. That felt so odd to read. Not bad just odd like my two worlds met briefly.

Oops! Should I edit that?

No. It was just odd. I mean half my friends there don't even refer to me as Jill in person *LOL* It took me forever to get used to responding to it here after I moved.

I have had far more bad experiences with standard mail-order retail establishments than I have with eBay. I've never had an eBay experience that was outright bad. If you stay away from people with negative feedback, it's pretty safe. Most people accept credit cards via PayPal, so you have extra leverage if something goes wrong.

The real danger is that you'll buy too much useless junk on impulse. Or a $2000 sword...

Don't let Krom hear you speaking that way! He may say the hell with you!

I'm getting the damn thing, only I called too late last night so I may cheat and call today while in training.
