What Do You Hate Most About A Boombox?

[Reli]

Hate it when mofos on Ebay say "I can't guarantee anything cuz it's like 25 years old" when it's really more lke 35-40

So.... the inaccurate age bothers you, or the “no-guarantee” part?

The age. I mean these boxes aren't from 1994.

Most people aren’t experts, I’m sure they were just guessing. If only people would spend more time browsing our wiki, haha.
