Finally got time between gigs to update my fm3 firmware. The spring reverbs are . I think I like the Vibroking custom tube spring the best. Yall can keep arguing. I’ll be

I am on the wrong side of the internet again!

I’ve done it both ways for a very long time. So for no issues. I did set scammed over a Facebook marketplace, but it was all my fault. I didn’t follow my own rules for choosing the seller right.

Just today there was an FM3 MKii Turbo listed locally for $500 (FB marketplace). Told the guy I was local. His first response was “I can mail it”. I proceeded to block him and acknowledge the “it’s too good to be true” fact.

I would have said “Oh, don’t bother with that! I’m going to the shooting range in (your city) with some buddies, we can swing by on the way to pick it up!”

Kind of reminds me of one time in the Army on a training trip, my buddy lost his cell phone at the bar and the next morning he was flipping our hotel room apart looking for it. I asked “did you have ‘Find My’ enabled? He logged into his iCloud, we saw that it was in a part of town we were NOWHERE near, grabbed two more buddies and we drove to get it. Some dude who was living with his mom stole that mf and his face was a mix of shame and fear when we showed up at his front door lmao. Got the phone back though

Classic FAFO right there.

Sorry all. I just was saying I miss the sale forum

I miss the time when it was a smaller community and we flew under the radar for certain. But, all things must pass.

Yeah I'm sure getting a message saying "I JUST GOT SCAMMED FOR $1800, HELP"

Isn't something id ever want in my message box

I managed my own forum in the 2000's to mid 2010's... People just don't get how MUCH more work it takes to fight bots, scammers, etc - you guys just get to see the tip of the iceberg when stuff gets past a bunch of controls that are in place.

I don't envy the people keeping this forum going.

There’s a III Mk II in my area but the dude wants 2250. (FB marketplace).

Ask him what else is included, since that’s only $250 off of a readily available device. They love that

For real at this price point it’s dumb to pay 2250 for a used device that’s 2500 out the door
