Is everyone in ILF broke right now?

[rustywire]

I am over-committed and under-funded.

I would say this about covers it.

Yup. 2015 is half over...and I've only bought 1 'new' pedal....
but sold about $2700 worth of stuff to spend 3.5k on other gear, since January.

ILF is always broke! LOL!

I'd hit that ILFDD in a second, but of course, I have a personal connection to it.

I get kind of weepy every time I see one for sale. I'm not kidding. It makes me cringe a bit.

I have mine and will love it until I die!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I had dough, I'd snatch that sucker up!

Don't get me wrong: the ILFDD is amazing. Seriously awesome pedal. But I dropped more money than I ever have on a pedal to fund my TimeLine, and I was able to dial in a serviceable ILFDD sound from it. Of course the modulation isn't quite as spooky as the ILF, but I can't justify keeping it. Plus I could really use the cash right now. Life suxxxorzz.

Broke as hell.

We're trying to get a new place ATM so I'm learning to love what I have.

I'm letting myself get the ct5 I preordered but that's it till we get everything sorted out.

I will say that when I got my CT5 Scott was SUPER COOL about me making multiple small payments. So keep that in mind!

But if you wind up flipping it I might be forced to cut your toes off.

i just don't get why "let's talk prices" does not make a difference

Or "try me with any offers", or "I'm open to making a deal", or "for the love of all that is good and holy, take this off my hands and send me back some homemade baking"...none of it seems to make a difference.

Maybe no one is buying stuff because they are satisfied with what the have.

I was GASsing for a ILFDD for a while, about a year or so ago...

And to be honest, the specs alone aren't all that special concidering the hefty price tag
I can't knock it without having tried it, and I know Dr Scientist simply doesn't build meh pedals...

But still, these days a decent delay with modulation/oscillation and tap tempo can be had for $100ish used, so I personally don't see the attraction anymore. Got to say though, I'm not at all into modulated delays, or at least not the ones I tried so far. So for all I know the modulation is the ILFDD's main feature...

Yeah I'm not totally broke but I have things coming up I know I will need to pay for so buying things that aren't rent food and petrol is not happening for a bit.

Buy my damn pedals someone!

Had to spend $75 on a months worth of meds yesterday.

Dude, that's nothing. I had to spend $1500 bucks a month for 60 pills. Talk about over a barrel.

As for you BST complainers, I've been lifting a bunch of good stuff and buying old tubes and such. But *now* I am broke after too much ILF!

Haha, it's enough when you're unemployed. It would be more but luckily most of my stuff in rebated so I get it for like $12 instead of another ~$100ish on top of the $65 I'm paying for the unrebated meds. That plus $200 a week for therapy means I don't have any left over government pity money to play with at the end of the fortnight. $1500 is totally insane dude, won't pry into what that was for, must have been some serious business.

[gordian knot]

I'm operating well in the black. I just dont do a lot of impulse purchases.
when I do its from a little reserved "impulse" pile...knowing it's not an investment or that I might 'regret' the purchase, but the regret is tiny because it doesn't leak into real money and the expectation was there.

[gnomethrone]

looks like i picked a winner of week to test the bst waters for the first time

This is me, which is highly fortunate, because I got laid off last month and I'm broke as all fuck. I was actually thinking about starting a Frugal Living Tips thread in general discussion before I saw this thread.
