Wondering, Does His Wife Have a Sister?

[Beck]

Yeah I know I'm married, but this could push me towards Mormon fundamentalism... another wife just to buy me stuff.

Usually the seller’s wife gets the blame for making him sell it… “Wife says it has to go, blah, blah, blah...”

I really have to wonder if he really never took it out of the wrapper?

I bought my 244 brand new back in the early 80's and I don't remember the plastic liner bag looking like the one in the picture.

Perhaps this is just a new angle on worning out of saying that it doesn't actually work?

Cheers!

If this in fact is new, untouched, then it has my attention! Now, where is that damn drool smiley!!

The more I look at that picture of the bag, the more I feel something is amiss here!

The bag first off, is upside down and has fold seams in it that are not in character with the original factory bags which I believe were seamless and folded over to one side of the Portastudio.

I'm a bit of an original packing freak because of my job, repacking equipment on many occasions when we're selling off the floor model of a piece of gear and need to repack it as new.

I really think the seller is just being clever here and using the sealed bag story as a means of selling the unit while playing dumb as to its condition.

But, what do I know.

Cheers!

If she would buy me "stuff"..I would take a wife too...











The story does sound a little funny...but you never know.

Why didn't the guy ever take it out of the box and use it, if his wife bought it for him...?

I was thinking the same thing about the bag. I can't think of much of anything that would have that type of bag for original packing. Somebody message him and tell him to sell it for parts at a reduced price.

Yup, I got mine new in early 80-something too. Problem is I don’t remember what the plastic looked like, but I must confess I unwrapped it so fast… kinda like I would this guy’s wife’s sister (of course she wouldn’t be wrapped in plastic… eh, I dunno, maybe she would… you never know).

Life is funny I’ve never met his wife’s sister and don’t even know if she has a sister (or if he has a wife), but I feel like I’ve known her all my life. There’s definitely a, “Radar love” thang happening here. I just hope she feels the same way, whether she exists or not.
