I look several times daily for ads on Craigslist and FB Marketplace. 99% of the time I find nothing new or overpriced crap. But its habitual. I sat down tonight and saw an ad on FB Marketplace for and RB set with 5 guitars, mics, and drums, no game. the picture was a wired guitar a GH les Paul and some other parts I couldn’t identify.
I messaged on a whim, ” how many cymbals?”, she replied back she thought there was at least two and asked me how much I would pay. I said boldly “$20″ (USD) She countered $30. I snapped a pic of my 5 drum sets with a box of guitar and parts and said I didn’t need them. She replied, $20 if you come and get them tonight. (Shes 30-45 minutes away) I said ” I just had some alcohol and I wont drive tonight but that I own my company and my schedule is flexible and could get it any day this week, but if she got a better offer I would not be offended. she offered to drive it to me for $30. I figured “why not?”
She came, dropped off the box, left. I snuck the box in the basement so my wife wouldn’t know, and went back to having dinner with my family. I came down later to look at what was in it….
It had a fucking Ion kit in the bottom (2 cymbals only) and 5 guitars, I didn’t even look for anything else, When I saw the Ion frame part, I lost my shit. I kept telling myself “No fucking way.”. For real, its in better shape than my other Ion kit I paid for ($100 with extra parts and all 3 cymbals). I’m on cloud fucking 9 right now.
So you negotiated to have a strange woman come to your house in exchange for money and you hid it from your wife?
I was selling a few household items on Marketplace all day anyway, so it wasn’t strange that someone came to the house but I hid it from her at first because I didnt want her to get mad that I was getting more Rockband stuff. I told her last night after I saw the Ion kit though. She was cool with it.
Ive never got so lucky myself. The best Ive gotten was a RB2/3 pro-drum kit with Rock Band 2 cymbals. Only issue is now after lots of use the damn cymbals broke. Even using old refixed RB3 cymbals they broke. Luckily the pads have wonderful pad covers. Id never get that lucky though as I live in Rhode Island & RB listings are few & far between.

Killer score my man! When I decided to get a 360, I found one on CL w/200 dlc songs. I was driving taxi at the time and I met the 3 kids/teens @ midnight. Totally felt like a drug deal lol. Moral of the story, sometimes you are the stranger and sometimes you are the strangee but a killer RB deal is a killer RB deal.

Dear Penthouse Forum,
I never thought this could happen to me…
