all started when there was a doubt about the number of conion's he actually had , but as far as i'm concerned there was never any doubt the man has more conion's than jimmy carter has peanuts and that's the bottom line. don't matter if he has 50 or 100 , still more than any of us combined will ever see. really don't matter i'm not a conion freak and i don't get jealous of other peoples possessions i'm more worried about what the **** i have . i think gordie felt insulted by the comment so he's prolly hot under the collar right about now . i just wish he would forget it and keep posting but i would be kinda pissed too , i mean the guy has no reason to lie so why even entertain the thought.

Hit it on the nose....

Without going into too much detail, Gordie is a private guy and he has had nightmare run in's with complete F$%^ng psychopaths related to this hobby that would cause anyone to throw in the towel. I have met Gordie personally (and hope to again), he is a hell of a nice guy and he has PM & emailed me pictures of things he has not posted in public. He is not a liar. He owns what he says he owns. I saw the post's of him being called out, thought it was BS, but I stayed out of it. IMO, no member, big or small should be called out unless they have really been in some bad dealings. Gordie isn't one of those guys.

I will say one more thing....

We take for granted our public life on Boomboxery. There are things I post here I would NEVER post on Facebook, twitter, instagram or even my own website. Because the general public are F'n NUTZ! Posting a picture of 100 C100's worth a grand each is the same as a picture of $100,000 is cash. You never know who will come calling. That may or may not be his reasoning, but it's not up to me to decide or judge.

 

[Superduper]

Frankly, I saw that thread and just stayed clear. I'm pretty sure some of it was just poking fun. However, there is no mistaking that there was probably some feeling there by some guys who have tried hard to land ONE with NO success and got offended or jealous of the costant I got another one posts. I would liken it to a bunch of guys standing in the desert, fighting over a few drops of water, and then suddenly seeing someone strut by with jugs of the stuff -- perception = "look what I got and you can't have any." Probably not the wisest display of water prosperity.

Frankly, I'm not the biggest fan of the C100. I'd much prefer the M90 or any number of other more refined boxes but that's just me. On the other hand, I do have a fairly large collection of some models that is larger than one person probably should collect, and mindful of paragraph #1 above, I have never publicly posted the lot. Nothing good ever comes out of it, as I've watched too many such jealousy threads turn ugly.

 

[-GZ-]

I can't imagine this being about my post talkin about takin pictures of the same box over and over...and the ensuing posts. Pretty sure it was obvious that was all in jest.

 

[redbenjoe]

my hopeful guess is there is absolutely NO problem with gordie -
instead . over the years - i have known him to get into his serious work//busy season-
and for those several months he is off-line = posts or replies never

 

[stereomad]

Personally I just think that nobody needs a 100 conions and brag about it when other guys on here would like the opportunity to buy one!
It winds people up! And don't think it's fair to others!
I have a nice c100 so not that bothered myself although I would like another

 

[Cpl-Chronic]

OMG!!! If this guy went through the absolute trashing I got over my hard work & new ideas, he'd crumble instantly! Get a grip!!!

Cpl

 

[stereomad]

Don't think so dude.....when I sold my business I had 30 guys working for me!
Hoarding 40+ conions is plain greed dude!
Let some of the other members have a look in....

I've never seen him post in the summertime at all..

Give someone else a chance!? Greed!? Say the same for all collectors that have more than 1 of a certain box.

This is his hard work, searching, effort, and money. If having stacks of the same box makes him happy, go for it Gordy.


I've had 25 of the same style of car. That makes me an enthusiast, should be the same with any kind of collecting.

There are no shortages of C100's, If you want one, go get one. There are 3 on eBay right now.

I agree..

What ever you work for is yours free and clear. Gordie put's in the hours, the money and the mileage! AND has put in more years than 98% of the people on this forum.

I have NEVER seen a post where he came off as bragging. BRAGGING would be posting pic's of his collection while doing donuts around them in his car! Mistaking bragging with sharing (which is what we are all doing on this site) sounds like jealousy, which is a perfect, normal reaction. I have no C100's. Would I love to have one?, one day maybe. Hell, I could have one right now, if I wanted to spend the time, money and mileage that Gordie has.....just haven't wanted it enough.

It's called collecting, and we should be lucky that he even comes on the site at all. You think the units in his collection would be right there available for other members if he hadn't found it?

 

[jimmyjimmy19702010]

It's what ever floats your boat. Whilst I've never conversed and certainly never met Gordie, I can respect the man for working so hard to collect so many of the same model.

I know this is besides the point but his bargain finds will certainly stand him in good stead financially if he wants/needs to liquidate some due to some unforeseen future event.

I say keep going Gordie!!!!
