Nothing For Sale

Bloomfield · Post by **Bloomfield** » Tue Jan 21, 2003 9:46 am

Almost new, perfect shape. No signs of wear & tear. Great sound.

Reason for selling: I need the money to add to my vintage 1950's hearing-aid collection.

Price: $50 each, or $320 for the set. I will cover the cost of shipping Nothing.

Get it now before it goes up on eBay!

Bloo,

Are those hearing aids the pocket models that run off a car battery? Or the discrete ear trumpet style as seen on the old HMV labels?

Also, if I get the whole set, would this clear more space on my shelves for other stuff, or do I need a special padded carry case so I don't lose them?

It's the kind with the two car batteries in the cast-iron back pack and the crank on the left. The kind you've seen MurphyStout wear one around.

I can offer a foam padded aluminum alloy BlockHead Indestructible(TM) Brand carrying case with custom-fitted WetSlap(TM) humidor unit and integrated 8000-year moon calendar (past and future). You know what, my friend: I'll cut you a special deal, if you pick up the set of nothing with the case: $17,499.17 for the set (and you won't pay tax if I ship---at your cost---to the UK).

I know you paid less than nothing for that set. How can you reconcile asking $320 for it now when nothing would still get you a tidy profit? I think you are being a bit less than scrupulous, or nothing like that.

Why is it that people who ask what price the want get nothing but grief on this board? I ask what I ask. People can take it or leave it. You are a bunch of price-fixing Commies, mike & Weekenders, and if you don't like it here, you can just...

I wish my friend Loren would say something. He always has a good idea about lamers that charge extra high-prices. Somehow, I just feel better when he's around.

He has the second largest collection of Nothing on the Forum! I saw the pictures.

And I swapped one of those Nothings just the other day. It had a slightly altered aperture on the protuberance but it was good value, better than the ripoff price you're trying to get!

But there is no wait: You can have your nothing right away.

Well, I have been on the waiting list for Nothing for about two years now and am scheduled to receive nothing later this year, so I will let everyone know just how good the NEW nothings are.

Geez, I hope its good....hmm.....well, better than the wide-bore nothing anyway.

Nothing is something
That's what I think when
I teach my college minimalist session.

Then I go and box and
hurt my wrists. But it
may be from hitting the return
button all of the time.

And its necessary that
my posts always be
a certain length for poetic
effect.

That's what I think
about nothing but
its a great free empty
world and you may
disagree.
