Based on an ad I just read (paraphrased slightly):
''I'm not going to be heartbroken if this doesn't sell.I'm not even sure I want to sell''
So why the f**k are you wasting everybody's time??? When will you be sure that you want to sell?? This imbeciles head needs 9mm psychotherapy
''I'm not going to be heartbroken if this doesn't sell.I'm not even sure I want to sell''

"These sell all day on ebay for $XXX"
"Ads that quote ebay asking prices...not what the gear is actually selling for."
"I am selling for a friend who does not have a XXXX account."
"I just don't believe that tubes, source gear, DACs, preamps make a difference"
"Feeler"

I should be practicing
What really makes me cringe is when someone labels a cheap piece of equipment, that was bottom-of-the-line, as "the legend" on Ebay or Craigslist. Recently, on Ebay, I saw a listing for a 25 disc Fisher "studio standard" CD player, from like 1993, labeled as "the authoritative reference benchmark of CD players", with an asking price of $899.99 plus $60.00 shipping. I was laughing so hard, I had a hard time catching my breath and had to redo my mascara which ran down my cheeks.
C'mon -- it said "studio standard" right on it! It's obviously got to be the very thing that they use in recording studios, and must therefore be . . . well, "reference benchmark" is not bad.

Referring to bass ports as "blow holes". "air holes", etc. One guy on my local CL says that ports "release the bass", and refers to a pair of speakers with one woofer, two front tweeters and one rear tweeter as "4 way".
No, "base" is just the redneck way of saying "plinth."

Calling things like Logitech Z200/203; or similar levels of desktop/computer sperakers as "high end".
No.
No they are not. Please Craigslisters, stop.

I mostly agree but if you can deal with the possible waste of time and/or having to coach someone on how to read the number off the front of the unit some good deals can be had. A few months ago I got a C-2a/T-2/M-4 stack for less than two bills because the guy was too lazy to put model numbers in the ad.

Not true. "Pressing" refers to a specific vinyl manufacturing run. "Recording" is a much more general term.
Edit: CDs are also "pressed" but CD sound varies by master and not pressing so the term "pressing" shouldn't be used for them.
