Do you guys have 'that guy' on your local CL?

[retinal orbita]

Okay maybe I'M "that guy" - here's an ad I made a few years ago:



EDIT: it worked and I met some cool noisecore people

[The Eristic]

There's some guy here who goes on benders every couple months emailing practically everyone a wide variety of insults about the gear they're selling. I'll get some dumb hate mail about each piece I've listed, then I'll start seeing ads telling the guy to fuck off popping up all over the musical instruments section for a while.

While I think that is hilarious... that could easily be me if I didn’t have an iota of self control.
I’d be lying if I didn’t think about doing that in BST more than a few times. Just being WAY over the top about it.

Hey ASSHOLE! You’re selling a Subdecay Prometheus DLX for $350... when they retail fo $325, are always in stock, usually have a 20% off code... and fucking guitar center has one for $199! Look at both of your hands, pick 2 or more of your 10 fingers... AND GO FUCK YOURSELF! Take it or bake it... party mango!

Not a great way to make friends though . Please note, I specifically tried to pick a pedal I did not see in BST so no one gets their feelings hurt.

Gotta take my justice to the streets *Fires warning shot

At some point I'm going to comment in the next outrageous BST thread YOU THINK YOU'RE HOT SHIT... BUT YOU'RE JUST COLD DIARRHEA!!!!

I would totally reply to that.

[Benn Roe]

Fuck I recently saw one for a “Lana Del Ray” cover band looking for singer

I would probably do this.

[qersty]

I probably am "that gal" cause I've asked so many people to ship their twin reverbs cross country...

From one of my positive encounters. I texted this to my best friend as soon as I left and E-mail Lord Galvar about it.

This thread is making my morning! I had to log in to say I lurk and love to read $harkToootth's take on things. You are a bright spot, $harkToootth.

There’s a few punishers on the musicians wanted section as well - one guy has been posting the same ad for a drop tuning band - I can only assume it sounds like Queensrych meets Pantera from the description. “Looking for all instruments”.

There's a guy constantly posting on Brighton Gumtree (like, every few days) with the same ads for the same projects he's trying to get started. I kind of feel a bit sorry for the guy but I replied once and it took him 3 months to get back to me then nothing ever came of it... And for the last few weeks someone else has been posting in a local musicians' Facebook group every day with the same post looking for band members for his new project without realising we've all moved on from landfill indie round here. It wouldn't annoy me as much if I wasn't constantly getting notifications about it on my phone...

Wow, its like you crawled into my head just to read the email I delete at least 5 times when I browse any instrument classifieds. Well done.

@cosmicevan

I wore a METZ shirt to the office yesterday. Wanted to wear PRIMITIVE MAN but in typical hoarder fashion, could not find it.

Fess up... who owns an INSECT WAREFARE t-shirt and wore it to work? I haven’t.... yet....

[MrNovember]

There's a guy around here who has been posting lamps that he built out of snares for years. They all have pun filled titles like:

Enlightened snare instrumental in exposing studio’s dark side.

Smokin' hot snare lights up, reaches new high

[MrNovember]

A guy just contacted me for the third time asking to buy my EQD Terminal, which I sold months ago and isn't even listed in my ad anymore. I've told him every time that it's already sold. I should just find a cheap one to sell to him next time he asks.
