Jose sighting in the wild

[alund]

This is what’s it’s all about. I’d rather have my money in amps and guitars that will appreciate and be able to enjoy them and play them at the same time. Hard to get any satisfaction like that out of your investment accounts. I have those too, you have to diversify, but I call all my gear “money in the bank.” As long as you buy them at a reasonable price you can always get your money back out. If you make money, cool. But you still got to enjoy it along the way even if you didn’t.

I’ve made more gains on some amp and guitar purchases than I have on my investment accounts over the years. I didn’t plan it that way, they were collector pieces I really just had to have. And they appreciated a lot.

I’m not a rich guy, but I think this all comes down to perspective based on your tolerance and ability to purchase expensive items. It’s all relative and subjective. For some people, $20k is pocket lint. For others, it’s the difference between making the mortgage and paying bills and surviving. That person isn’t going to be able to justify or understand a $20k amp.

20k is a lot of freaking money. People will kill you over 20 dollars. And chicks— some dudes will suck a “hotdog” for 15 bucks. I’ve never underestimated what a dollar will do. On the other hand; I have been both with and without wealth (whatever that is)…. Neither of them have ever defined me being happy.

The price of something is ultimately whatever someone is dumb enough to pay.

Imagine killing someone over a 20k hotdog

But he is a standup guy...

You mean technically he was standing when he said it?

20K is nothing to some mega star, influencer who could fart out the money to buy this and then do a stream of them dropping it off a canal bridge in Venice on to a honeymooning couple as a prank. Then make 20K back in the the first 2 days of views.

Alund, what do these women look like in your area? I have done the math, and $45 a week, may be cheaper than marriage, so please let me know.

See, this is what I am trying to avoid...........

All this bitching about price where guys are regularly dropping $5k on Wizards lol.

I think sellers have a right to price stuff at whatever they think is fair. If it doesn’t sell, he’ll figure out it’s too high and lower the price. If he does sell, he’ll be happy he got what he thought it was worth.

I know some people who swear they’ll never buy a guitar over $2k due to “diminishing returns”. And I’ve also seen people with massive collections of really expensive guitars.

Rex is a pretty mean-spirited dude, but he does go through a lot of cool amps. I wouldn’t be surprised if it actually is a real dead Jose-modded amp.

That happens all the time. They just don’t call it a hotdog.

chicks look terrible everywhere now. My wife is the best…. For me.

Thankfully no amp builder has ever been worse in that regard than EXPCustom.

Yeah definitely never heard anything bad about builders like Larry! Dude is old as WW2 and is german, so I'm sure hes a great guy!

 

[headlessdeadguy]

Yeah. Sounds like fizzy shit to me

Sounds like. XxX with the gain dimed and the bass on zero

Not that Im saying this isn't a fair price, but you recognize that a Wizard is way closer to a 10$ fender starter amp than to the price on this

Per Alund, we know a Man’s junk is worth $15 behind the Taco Bell on 7th and Howard…if the other person feels it's a treasure, especially if it comes with a Gordito, then who are we to argue?

Back in day, they’d do it for a dime. Heck, they’d even do it for free.

Just like the movie Menace to society… “anybody want a hamburger?”

How in tf is a 5k Wizard purchase similar to a 20k Jose mod?

What fools! In 20-30 years those 5k Wizards will be worth at least 3k!

You can’t talk to the public like that . Not business like

Hey dude was talking shit first regardless I told him that if there was id help him as best as I could if he has an issue from the past.

Either way it’s cool I don’t want to do business with you either, I’m sure you’ll be cool and so will I.

Also once again, I’m not an amp builder and don’t have an amp company. If someone is claiming to be me do not send any type of deposit on anything. I will never ask anyone for a deposit period as I said I am not an amp builder or company and I don’t have any amps to sell at this moment.

 

[EXPcustom]

EXPCustom builds amps? I know he has some ESP MX, but didn’t know he builds amps.

No I don’t build amps nor have an amp company. See post above.
