Found it at a neighbor's house. What a huge upgrade. At least as big a leap as my move from a 0 to a 2. That screen! And the speaker is so much clearer and louder (the other one was already good enough for real speakerphone use). Haptics are clearer, and the crown is much better, again. The official Apple cloth loop is definitely a little better than the $12 Chinese one, although if I were paying, I still wouldn't drop $50 on the Apple version. But I'm glad I got it for nothing.
I wish someone here would have recommended that I upgrade.
Yeah - definitely a win for me, especially since my hearing going to shit (Jets, guns, helicopters and motorcycles - who would have thought).
I rescued the Amazon metal band off my series 2 - I like the feel of the metal band better.

Sam's had a great deal for a while, but it's sold out. What's your broken one worth on eBay? There's always a buyer. Mine will probably get $200, scratched up but not broken.
Don’t know. I was gonna toss it - hadn’t thought about trying to sell it.

Asshole. I had just put it out of my mind after not being able to find any smoking deals on it.
I haven't ever seen a deal on current model Apple stuff. So far - I'm glad I did it rather than fix the old one. Slightly larger screen is surprisingly more useful.

I'm sort of lusting for a Series 4, and cannot in any way justify it as a rational expense.
I just got one after Apple quoted my $280 to replace the screen/glass in my series 2 - and the guy like UBreakIfix said they wouldn't touch it. Definitely a nicer / faster screen.

No worries. Now I get to file a claim with the TSA and wait 6 months. Ass wipes.

Still got? The TSA just managed to kill mine...

I have to say...if any clean bird came up within a couple hundred miles of my house, I’d buy it.
So buy this one and uship it to your crib. I'll go check it out for you.

The watch case is silver or white? Can’t tell.

Thinking about owning a bike with miles on it is making his eye twitch anyway

You’re a gentleman and a scholar. Let’s do this - if you don’t get the price you want within the time frame you are looking to get rid of it - I’m good to go @ $4800 cash and we are pretty close.
Dont feel obligated, don’t feel guilty....the offer is out.

You really gonna hold out over $200? You spend more than that on a Starbucks run.

Ended up replacing with the latest version of the same old Craftsman. Same track/shuttle and everything so the motor went right in. Apparently they made changes to the controls because the old wall switch and remotes wouldn’t work. Had to swap everything - no big deal. New model also has the option to operate on your phone through WiFi. Not sure I’ll use that but I set it up too.

Cheap Craftsman 1/2hp opener. Very basic but always worked fine. Earlier this week the wife complained that the opener wouldn’t work with the touch of one button - but rather had to hold the button down, both inside and remote. Opener not flashing which indicates it’s not the safety beams. I set the manual release and ran the door up and down by hand several times - very smooth with no binding. Opener operates no problem with the door disconnected. Reconnect the door and now the opener won’t operate more than a couple feet before stopping and running back to full open. I climb up on a ladder and look at track and the shuttle, all seems fine.
I climbed up on top to watch the drive sprocket run - seems very jerky and uneven. Cleaned, lubed, and adjusted the entire chain and greased the track just to be sure. No change. Now motor will not go up and down regardless if the door is connected or not.
I’m about ready to chuck the whole opener and install a new one - but anything to check beforehand?

LOL - you say that Dave. But you have never had a vehicle with 70k miles in your life!

How much for it with new fork seals and tires?
I can get a quote together if you want. Figure 3-4 hours labor at $119/hr for the seals alone. $300-$400 for tires depending on what goes on it...
-
I took this in trade the other day - runs fine, looks decent. 70k Miles. Gonna need tires after a short bit. Fork seals too. Get this for my price before it goes to auction.

Well - I was guilty of that one I guess. But you still haven’t presented “the other side”.

Not a single one. But that is what being one sided is all about.
So you agree that Trump is doing a good job?

Pretty much... her mom/my aunt openly wept on Facebook Live when Clinton lost. Shes a Professor at UC Irvine so I'm not surprised shes leaving though. My cousin on the other hand - she is a great kid who used to have a pretty level head and you could have reasonable discussions with even tough she leaned left. I fear she is following her moms path though.

Talk about a one sided view of everything. Keep spraying that pile of shit with rose colored sugar. Eventually you'll cover the shit and it will smell great. Although still rotting from the center outward.
Which of his points do you disagree with and why?

It wasn't. She sold to CarMax for $22500. Her fault for the failure to plan. She pretty well owned it outright and isn't planning to come back to the states so...
Both her and her mom cited Trump as one of the big reasons they are leaving the US so I guess it does happen...

Agreed - more gadgets on the screen and still more readable.
At a friends recommendation I put a case/screen protector on it and I dig it. Like a frogskin rubber but stiff and thin. Should help with minor wear - didn’t effect the screen at all.
