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,

Most sellers I have dealt with here and everywhere else was "somebody". Never bought much from robots other than coin op machines etc.
I didn't believe this story at all but read way too much of it the day it was on the "home page." Real somebodys never mention it as far as I can tell. If they do it is usually only their name that I recognize as celebrity. When someone winds a yarn this long it is almost certainly B.S. I would never buy from such a character!
BTW this is not the first time He or She has tried to sell their ML stuff here.
