I get it jwar. You don't like broken gifts or placeholder re-gifts. Nobody does...especially if you send out some incredible stuff.
Nearly all of my gear was obtained secondhand (20th century OEM fan duh).
Anything I still have has survived countless purges and is THA SHIZNIT.
I suspect most anyone here will be thrilled to receive whatever secondhand treats I may dish out, if I conclude it's something my assignment will find useful.

First. What I was saying about used was ONLY said because I know how people roll sometimes and won't get their SS shit that is even relevant to their interests or have any thought in it. This is unavoidable at times but it kind of puts a damper on the whole stalking thing. My point was only to not send your rejects. Like if you hate something, now is not the time to just throw it at someone else to get rid of it. Be nice is all I was trying to say. I have several pedals I could wish away to someone else, but I wouldn't hahahaha. I'd much rather give them something cool, even if it is from my own collection.
Two. The price range doesn't matter. You can buy a Boss pedal or whatever. There's actually plenty of builder that hit that 100 dollar mark or less with way cool stuff. Or some will even do it just because it's a SS. I've had this occur! Makes it extra special! Or DIY is a way you can do it. I mean, shit for 50 bucks you can build a pretty cool ass fuzz! Everyone likes fuzz I assume? If they don't. Well, fuck them!
Three. Have fun. I wasn't trying to be a negative Nancy but can be at times. I apologize. I'm not trying to dictate how I think things should be, just expressing myself. Maybe I shouldn't. Apologies. I just want everyone to be on the same page and not have too high or to low expectations.
I mean honestly. If the idea of spending a little cash is bad to you, then that's ok. You can put something used it. Just makes sure it's presentable is all I was trying to establish. You know, something you would give a friend.
I'm probably going to etch something killer for someone because why not and hopefully have a custom build done. That's how I roll, but it doesn't mean you have to!
So again, sorry to damper the whole thing. Just wanted to bring a few things to light, but went about it the wrong way.
sorry if it seems I was calling you out, man all good, you're right... be nice and have fun. That's ILFSS motto right there
Hey! Brandsmannen is in, and he wanted me to let everyone know he's having trouble logging in from his new dorm but he's still lurking and missing us during those long, lonely Netherland nights.

Also! julius_deane! I still have your extras from last year -- didn't send 'em 'cause the apt. got fleas, then lost it until the move -- but I have it. What I don't have is your address anymore! PM ME IF YOU LURKIN'
That's how I roll, but it doesn't mean you have to!
