    Flipping gear for profit, especially when you think it is ‘awful’, is a dick move.

    @jowls - Congrats on your first dislike! Although after 3+ years, 3K+ likes and over 1K posts I feel bad that this d-bag was the one to give it to you. However, you should stand proud for telling it like it is.

    UPDATE: And surprise, surprise I also got a dislike from you-know-who! Sweet

    That's a dislike of honor. Carry it proudly.


    I liked this because this fellow seems like an asshole but in general we are cool with people profiting, just not here.

    I do get the point and I agree, I'm not in he business of buying and selling things, and I auctioned all my lhlabs gear on ebay and it sold for what people bid, apparently the name, the brand, and the designer lost their currency with me far earlier than others.. I actually do not have a problem with the sentiment that flipping bad gear for profit is a dick move, I dont appreciate the schoolyard bullying though. I'd suggest you not defend a company and product that has let so many people down with lies after lies just so that you can get another kick in and high five your bully friends.

    If this is what you call bullying then I congratulate you on having never experienced the real thing.

    No one is defending LH, that ship has long sailed, but their business practices are a separate thing to the sound quality of their products. The Geek Out series has long been popular here. I have one. I’m not crazy about it but it is most certainly impressive in certain respects given it’s size.

    The problem is you. We don’t know you from Adam, yet here you are ranting obnoxiously like a narrow minded fool. Communicating in overly broad, over the top, ignorant statements. You’ve gotten off lightly so far.

    Week off. Consider it a Christmas present since you seem to be getting only negative energy from here.

    Edit: also everyone agrees that LH/LHL has had some horrible consumer practices.

    Jesus f**k, I've seen some examples of poor reading comprehension in my time, but are you sure you're replying to the right thread on the right site? Defending? Really?

    He got off easy considering the Force has been whispering in everyone's ear: not a good fit...not a good fit...permaban now or continue to suffer many more months...

    TBH, I don't have anything against the guy. A word of advice: don't flip gear and tell people about it. I'm ambivalent about the practice, but many others are not.

    I listed my pulse for $150 (which is half what I paid for it new in 2015, which I wouldn't call "flipping" in the sense you mean) and got nary a nibble. I think Larry's reputation means I will still own it when I die.

    I think I'm just too tired, but I honestly read your post to say we should "return his monkey" and all I could think of was Dieter from Sprockets...

    Well thank goodness it finally shipped. I've been enjoying mine. They adopted some great technology from Nintendo - the chassis tastes like Sun Chips. 2xDSD upsampling + flavor + shining the monitor directly into my eyes = sensory overload. I broke through and saw little green men who told me Larry Ho is Wotan.
