"Why you want to meet at Funway?"
"Because you want to play fucking games with me, so what better place?"
We used to ride there as kids in the 80's from St. Charles, and had some school skating trips there.
I had the same once selling an expensive humidor. Just changed the title and made a post again from my wife's account. The next day it was sold. I agree that marketplace has lots of pros and cons but from my experience facebook is not only that. It is also the best place to advertise a business. Here we can check how effective actually was the ad https://savemyleads.com and see what has to be improved.

Now THATS funny!!! I’ll have to remember that one!
Twice now I’ve sent low balling idiots to 1060W Addison just for the nostalgic giggle factor.
That's classic, Elwood!
Also suggest meeting in a bank parking lot. That way you can tell them to get more cash when you reject their in-person lowball offer.I've been doing most of my sales at the local Police Dept parking lot, actually.
Update on homeboy from last night ...
Who knows man, but I know to list high and say firm just because.
And even still I entertain a fuck-stick offer and accept it they don't come through. Lol.
Ive done this far too long to have faith in people keeping their word. I'm done. Everyone is mud until they prove otherwise.
I'm half tempted just to drive around with them in the back like those scam artists with stereo equipment would do lol

I forgot all about them! That was a huge thing like 15-20 years ago around Naperville/Wheaton but I haven’t seen that since then.
I had this MF text me for a full year about the wheels I was selling that my S2000 came with, constantly asking if I still have them and always making an excuse to not get them. When he FINALLY committed to pick them up he apparently bought a car on the way to my house (I wasn't even home, knew this jackass was a flake) and could no longer afford them. This was 2019. A few months ago this guy texts me and asks me if I still have the wheels because he finally bought an S2000.
I HATE humans.
Thread derail continued: I bought a set of speakers from one of the white vans in Aurora right after I graduated highschool in 1991. Used them for a couple years in my college dorm, and sold them to a buddy for about half of what I paid. Then bought a pair of Klipsch tower speakers in 1993 that I still use today. I think I've got my money's worth out of those Klipsch speakers after almost 30 years, eh?
Do you?

Klipsch are great speakers. I’m still using my SF-1’s I bought almost 20 years ago. They are/were their entry level tower speakers. Was amazed by their quality, but wish I had spent the extra $20/speaker for the Mirage equivalent. Really wanted the a Boston Acoustics VR975’s, but couldn’t afford them. Still couldn’t ?Thread derail continued: I bought a set of speakers from one of the white vans in Aurora right after I graduated highschool in 1991.

Mine are the KG 5.2 https://www.klipsch.com/products/kg-5-2
Still sound great today turned up loud, and I've really done nothing special to prolong their life. Main reason I keep them is because they are the same exact height as the fireplace console that we have our TV on, so they look like an extension of that. I'll be sad, though, when they finally deteriorate and I'm forced to buy replacements.
Want to sell them? They're 30 years old and worthless now.
I'll toss ya a c-note

They’ll last. My Cerwin-Vega RE35’s are also close to 20 years old and are in excellent condition. Well-built quality speakers deteriorate very slowly, especially the cabinets. Biggest thing is to make sure the baffles don’t get damaged.Mine are the KG 5.2 https://www.klipsch.com/products/kg-5-2

Foams are cheap. And easy to replace if you have patience.
Speaking of cerwin Vega, I'm looking for some large format 15" driver cabinets if you you know any... Not scared of commercial gear either.
I may have to retire my 1972(+/-) 215-R's
