You can't make this stuff up!

"In the right hands it could be worth a lot of money"

Well, it isn't in the right hands now, obviously. The seller doesn't know the arse-end of an Edison from a Victrola.

I said "if I could see the front I may be inclined to go get it." But the Me said "are you kidding? We aren't buying from a crack head. Who knows what the neighborhood is like." Oh well. Thought $ 25 would probably do it if he needs crack that bad.

He should switch to martinis. They're just as effective (I guess; no basis for comparison), cost a lot less, and are legal. And they make listening to your "Victrola" ever so much more pleasurable!

There is a box of 59records he is willing to trade for some "bang bang" or you can pay $5 each. hahaha

I did email to ask for a picture of the front. I didn't get one but they posted another picture of the back with the lid closed....hmmm

Turns out that "need the crack" should have been "need the crank" so there's that.

On one hand the misplaced decimal point makes this hard to swallow.
On the other hand, it's part of a healthy breakfast, packed with Granola.
