I have something that might be of interest to someone here. I have a Verizon Wireless NEW Chocolate phone that is basically brand new. I was getting ready to put it up on eBay but then I thought of all of you great people here who might want it. It is the black one by the way.

 

I just got a new blackberry and now I have no need for the chocolate phone. It has scratches, but works awesome. You can check it out here.

 

The phone is 130 with a two year contract which most of us cant get cause verizon sucks!!!! I'll sell it with a charger and a music link cable & headset for 100 bucks.

 

If anyone is interested just let me know... and if i have offended anyone by offering this here, just let me know and i wont do it again.

 

Thanks!

Interesting response... i was just figuring that we always want a new phone before our two year upgrade... and this is literally brand new besides the scratches that happened when i dropped it about five minutes after I got it.

anyway. if noone is interested after a few days, I'll go ahead and put it up on ebay.

I gotcha... everyone on here has been really nice so I wanted to give you all first crack. We may all be acoustic guitar lovers, but we also all need cell phones and if any of you are on the "network" with Verizon you know that it can be a real expensive PITA to get a new phone early.

I won't post offers like this here again.

My apologies.

Gee, thanks so much, sport.

Actually, no one really needs a cell phone, except the phone companies, who are making a fortune from the billions of unnecessary calls that are made every day by suckers like you.

While I too found it pretty annoying to see a, "Anyone need this used cell phone?" thread, no need to troll. Ohhh, and by the way, there are those that need a cell phone (like myself). I got tired of paying nearly $50/mo. for a home phone that I rarely used. I felt like a sucker when I took $50 and divided it by the number of calls I made. Home phone no more (and I'm sure there are many considering doing the same thing).

I don't know if you've ever seen one of the threads from foreign spammers (maybe you lurked a while before you joined because I don't remember any since you joined?), but they often sell stuff like this. And we don't like them and make fun of them incessantly (we're really actually quite evil :evil:).

I would say keep non-guitar-related spam off the forum.

Funny how everyone got along just fine without cell phones till like ten years ago when the phone companies fabricated a market for them.

Man -- I guess I really ruffled some feathers. Everyone has seemed particularly nice here... you would think I tried shilling crack.

Anyway, I am fairly new to this forum... and forums in general...

My intentions were good as you can clearly see from my original post on this thread. I had an idea that it might not be taken well, but I wasn't sure... I am now.

It would be nice if this thread could die with my last and sincere apology. I meant no harm... I'm not Asian (not that it matters), and I am not trying to sell you my old crap or disrupt your community... which I have found to be very welcoming.

Best,
j

Dont take it hard. Your offer was intended to mean well, but nobody wants the forum to turn into a "items for sale" thread. Your apology was sincere - dont worry about it, now you know...

Don't worry about it. You didn't know; you apologized; it's done. And it's your community too.

We all got along just fine before the acoustic guitar was invented... but I don't think any of us would want to do without these!

 

Seriously, people buy cell phones because they make life easier. Marketing and advertising helps sales, of course, but only in stoking a demand that already exists. Like most inventions, cellphones are not strictly necessary for life, but I like to have the options made possible by advances in technology. If cellphones had been invented earlier, then everyone would have been buying and using them earlier.

Grandpa said the same thing when we finially boarded up the outhouse at the country weekend camp. A "walk down the path" on a late July evening is a different thing in February. :)

That's technology. We got along fine with 3 TV channels, no air conditioning, no internet, etc, etc.

 

I use a cell phone in my job. It makes my job much easier.

Some boards allow the OP to delete the entire thread by deleting the first post. Never tried it here, but you'd be doing everyone a favor if you killed this one. :blah:
