This guy seems to have some very interesting stories - traveled with the Dead, goes all over the world... Impressive.

It sounds like the kind of conversation that at first blush, sounds interesting, and then you wish someone would call you away. It's just a piece of equipment. One's pedigree isn't a prerequisite for selling it. IMO, YMMV, etc. goes a long way better in an ad or review, which this one kind of turned into.

Yeah, quite the story. I almost bought a turntable once from a guy who claimed that he started The Absolute Sound and got HP up and running.In the end I didn't, because I thought his asking price was too high and I didn't want to 'insult' him by negotiating, he didn't seem like the type. I'm sure he sold it to someone willing to pay more because the seller 'was somebody'. LOL!
Reminds me of when George Costanza bought a car from Jon Voight on Seinfeld...lol.
I'm wondering what part of the self-puffery act you find
"impressive". Smacks of bull to me.
I don't think Chayro was taken in by the self puffery, just impressed at what the guy has done. Some folk love to wax eloquent and expand when something concise will do, like in this ad.

Nothing more.

All the best,
