lol as many of you know i'm a noob at this stuff. But i have a chance for a huge steal on these M-Audio bx5a's. I'm wondering, if i want to just start out, should i be greedy and buy them? or save up for when i'm more advanced
 
Depends on what a steal is. If your getting these for close to nothing then by all means go ahead. But check around ebay for prices and see how much of a steal they are. I have the 8's and I like them. Everyone runs into gear at five finger prices, so if its a steal then by all mean steal away.
 
Gotta almost TOTALLY disagree with stealth_prod. If any gear has been stolen, and/or you have good reason to believe it is, DON'T TOUCH IT. Oh, so many reasons to stay away- damages your karma, disrespectful to other artist/recording people, encourages/supports thiefts, can get YOU arrested, etc. etc. etc.

If someone's just unloading their legit own gear for stupid prices, you gotta ask yourself, "Why?" but if there is a good reason (NOT "it's stolen," or something is seriously wrong with it but not disclosed, etc.) then sure, grab it- but if it blows up in your face (figuratively or literally,) I will take great pleasure in saying "I told you so!":D
 
Stevieb , when people talk about getting something for a steal, aren't they usually just using a slang term that means 'cheap' or 'a good deal' ?

Well, okay, then. Just the reply before mine seemed to suggest that you should buy it even if it was hot. Could have just been the way I read it...
 
The statement five finger prices certainly does imply theft. The term five finger discount means shop lifting specifically.
 
The only thing that I've ever stolen was ........






















































KISSES








:cool:
 
"nick" means acquire at a discount price




OK its doesnt...its a fair cop guvnor :)

LOL well I guess I apologize then...In no way did I imply or try to imply that theft is ok. Five finger aka another name for steal yes, but I was just trying to not use "steal" 25 times in a paragraph. I guess my bad. (Felt like I just got stopped by the pOlice.)

Also "five finger prices" was taken way out of context. If I would have said "as long as your getting it from the guy behind the music store in the alley, with the gear in a trunk of a car" I could definitly see the need to strike down the hand of fury, but I think you took it a little to serious.
