might be a great shock and revelation to some here --
to discover that on the most rare occasions ;-)

some ebay sellers fail to reveal a few 'minor issues' in their listings :thumbsdown: :annoyed: :-)

this recent panny f3 'score' was typical --
from the vague photos --it was a tad of a surprise to receive this "excellent "
condition BEATER!!!
with a sharp crease ( not a gentle dent) in the grill-
a HOLE thru one grill :thumbsdown: :'-( :sadno:

and several dozen bruises and scratches --
------------------------------------------------------
truly not the type of item we would ever want to look at again :no: :sad:

what do we do about it ??

throw it away --no :nonono:
give it away --maybe --but it would seem like such a cheap gift

send it off to hemiguy for a 3 week restoration project ?? :lol:

spent many hours on the 'email the seller' for a refund ??
apply to ebay for a 2 week dispute ??

return it --and lose the $$ freight funds :dunce: :dunce:
===========
whenever we win a 20 buck box -
with 15 buck s/h
it becomes an auto-keeper :-D :-D
no matter what condition it arrives in -- right ???? :-)
--------------------------------------------------
other than the pukey cosmetics -
i liked it - :thumbsup:
its works - it sounds very good -
and its a perfect size/shape/weight to toss about at the shore (see prior thread) :-O :-D
-----------------

well --even when brand new --this all black look on a mini is nowheresville, anyway
minis should be red or blue or anything but black = yuk & boring

boink :hmmm: :hmmm:
enter the stickers -- :surf:
they are free at many businesses --and we can buy at least 50 for ONE buck
at the buck store --

and some girls of SOME ages ;-) :-O like boxes with stickers :blush:

so---
here is a shot of the boring black new f3 - :thumbsdown:
and some shots with my dent, hole and scratch covers :thumbsup: :drool: :drool:

Nice instant custom Ira, put a little inflatable tube around it and you have a floating noise maker. :w00t:

I picked up one of these at the thrift a couple of months ago and although it's all black and has no bass below about 250hz I still kind of like it. :yes:

Makes it look like how the boxes were back in the day.
I got an SK-31 that needs some stickers
but not that many.

They say that when you get old enough, you begin to regress to the younger baby years. Maybe this stickers thing is symptomatic of something? :hmmm: :lol:

Ha! Perhaps a second or [strike]third[/strike] fifth childhood. :-P

As accidental as you explained you still had time to snap shots of the box being reclaimed by the sea???
That's messed up dude. :nonono:
The f3 is a cool little box, it deserves better. Looks like a teenybopper could own that thing. Just put it out of its misery already.

:lol:
