wuzzzer Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 A couple years ago when I bought my KG 4s through Craigslist the guy gave me a nice pair of Yamaha bookshelf speakers for free with them. They sound really nice but they had been sitting around for a while collecting dust. So, I decided to throw them on Craigslist. Listed them this morning for $25 or best offer. Got a call a couple hours later from a guy who was interested in them. I called him back and told him he could have the speakers for free. I didn't want to list them for free since I figured I'd get tons of responses from people just looking for a freebie. He was very surprised to hear that. He stopped over a few hours later and it turns out he's disabled in a wheelchair and wasn't able to text me (like I listed in the ad as a preferred contact method) because he can't afford a cell phone. He thanked me over and over again for giving him the speakers. Made me feel good. 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah man, just as I was beginning to work up a good dislike for you thanks to sucking me in on that "best ever" La Scala thread. Then you go and do something outstanding. You did good.

wuzzzer Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 He mentioned he's looking for a receiver as well. May have to see what I can come up with for him. I gave my Panasonic SA-XR57 to a friend a couple months ago for helping with some trim work at my house. Would have given the guy that if I still had it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT FAN Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 The Wizard: Back where I come from, there are men who do nothing all day but good deeds. They are called phila-, er, er, philanth-er, good-deed doers! And their hearts are no bigger than yours. But! - They have one thing you haven't got. A testimonial! Therefore, in consideration of your kindness, I take pleasure at this time in presenting you with a small token of our esteem and affection. And remember, my sentimental friend, that a heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others. Nice! You have the right to feel good. Enjoy the feeling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
