Post by: jack on August 15, 2012, 12:38:17 PM: Not defending the guy, but if you've posted on CL lately you know that the 'BS' is very deep. I get tons of emails, some sounding very specific - Hi, I'm interested in the bike, can you send some high res pics?

You send some add'l info and you get a response about how I'm not interested now but did you know you can make thousands from home yadda yadda yadda.

So although there's no excuse for poorly written ads with a bad attitude, I can see how someone not particularly savvy might get frustrated with the whole experience.

Post by: jazzyvee on August 17, 2012, 11:01:33 AM: Looks really nice though. I've kind of changed my mind about this style of Alembics after seeing Bill tgo's vintage series guitars in the flesh and Afrobeatfool's series bass. They do have a certain understated charm and beauty.
