My sister-in-law (Kalee) is over with my wife and baby today. I come home they're talking, walking around. I do a couple things then I sit down and pop open my recently purchased "Boombox Project" book.
Sidebar- Pretty cool book, but only on the first couple pages so far.
Okay, so my wife sees me reading it, I get an "Oh jeez," to which I reply, "What I can't read this?" and I laugh and keep reading... Then, out of nowhere, her sister says, "Oh yea, Kyle wants to buy a boombox." Kyle is her boyfriend, I don't know that he's rich, but, he has a lot more money than me.
Well my ears perk up, cause I think maybe I got somebody new in the game, and I ask "Really? Cool! Does he know what kinda style he is looking for?" She says that she doesn't know, and my wife blurts out, "You could just sell him one of yours!" I mention I'm not yet interested in selling one of mine, possibly the 920, in hopes I get a nicer one in the future, but ultimately, not interested in selling any right now.
Anyways me and the wife blabber back and forth a bit, and I ask Kalee how much Kyle is willing to spend and tell her that they can range anywhere from $50 to $1000. And get this... she says, "Oh, no, he want's to buy one of YOURS."
WHAT!!!!!! I've been duped!!! It's a set-up!!! He doesn't want one at all, the only one he's seen is my little Panny 5031 (darker version of the 5030), and that's not enough to get anyone into boomboxes if they've never had one before. I'm beside myself, I couldn't believe it. Betrayed by my own wife.
Needless to say, I made it clear that I will not sell mine to him, because they are not for sale, (really it's because I know it's a set-up). Long story, but I had to tell you guys, vent a little. I'm not mad... just.... disappointed.
