You can tell that someone has really put a lot of effort in this.  We're just a bunch of snobs.

yes they probably put a lot of time in it, but most likely that machine was still working when they did this.

By the tone of the listing this looks like someone who has done this more than once.
I do get why people buy these, new monitor, new this new that. Seller is going for the peace of mind, safe angle.

Not for me though.

This would be a good thread to keep going with sad cabs for us all to laugh/cry at

so here's one from the UK

£588 pound, so that's about $800-$850, take a look at this stickered POS

In its defense... Its priced half of what they charge in ct on CL.
its a nice cab.  who knows what condition it was in before he made that choice.
At least he aint askin 1500 .  and the 60 in 1 isn't that bad.
