Title: [LF] A plea to GH for an MX Bro Bot at cost
Post by: kmiller8 on Tue, 07 January 2014, 17:07:01
A whim, a plea, a tale of misfortune. Call it what you will, but I assure you this nothing short of heartbreaking, bordering on the ludicrous and frankly at this point, laughable.

As many of you know my Bro Bot luck is bad to say the least. Perhaps the worst on the entirety of Geekhack, unless one of you can challenge my standing record of despair. I have, and this is in no way an embellishment, lost out on 3, yes 3, Bro Bot sales in the past two months. This combines both giveaways and limited sales, the most current of which having been the Brass Bro Bot, the Aluminium Bro Bot, and the just passed Steel Bro Bot sale. Save for my very first Bro Bot(Electric Bluegaloo) which Bro Bots himself was kind enough to dibs me with shortly after joining, I have never paid less than $100 for a Bro Bot. These prices are not uncommon in the aftermarket, but I seem to be unlucky there as well having only accumulated 3 Bot buddies in that manner.

On top of all this, there's only a short list of Bro Bots I actively search for (Brass, Dark Aluminium, Steel) and these as many of you know full well are exceedingly rare and my trade thread is quickly approaching it's one week anniversary. Depressing for a myriad of other reasons.

Anywhoo, I'm putting myself out there. I'm making a plea to restore my faith in this bleak and dispiriting quest. I know this community has it's share of poopyheads, but it also has it's share of bighearted and kind individuals and I'm hoping upon hope one of the latter sees this and understands the distress these wonderful little plastic pieces of art can wreak upon a mans soul. I'm looking for a simple gesture of kindness, an extended hand of understanding, someone to be my restorer of faith in this ongoing duration of blind disadvantage.

In case my story of woe made you sad, here is something that's sure to make you smile. Don't want anyone walking away with a frown :)

I'm sorry you thought my offer wasn't serious, but there's no need to be sad about being jewish.

I feel your pain, kmiller. I too have no luck in getting these bro bots. My wtb thread in the classifieds had no hits for over 120days last time I bumped it and I am still in search of bro bots.
I wish you the best of luck. Maybe someone can send you a broken v1 that you can glue together.

Get's a clack for complaining like a little *****.

Calls everyone else out for whining about clacks, and belittles other people because he's all of a sudden "superior".

Totally. Maybe we'll get more pity party threads begging for Brobots .... It seems to work. Either way, I feel like it's cheating on a test rather than doing the hard work like everyone else.

tl;dr "pls give clack, I've been trying soooo long and soooo hard. I deserve a clack, especially more than those new***s who are just here to flip them."

Or at least that's the tl;dr I got out of that OP and thread in general.

I don't have anything against you noisy, just the large amount of entitled douchebags who think the world owes them a favor... oh wait...

I don't know who the hell you think you are quoting, because no where in that post is that said. You read it however your tiny little mind can process, but I assure you that wasn't the intended point. If you wanna play games with me and be a ****, fine let's go, I'm always down to rumble and an attention seeking **** in a sexy santa's suit doesn't intimidate me in the slightest.

Maybe if half the vocal population wasn't cupping your balls because of your silly antics and entertaining and informative podcasts (of which I am also a fan, you are getting to be a great interviewer) maybe you wouldn't feel so entitled to see others struggles in a self serving light.

My opinion may not be popular with certain people posting here, but this thread is truly nothing but a troll discussion, where the original thread was already over long ago.  It's one thing to poke some casual fun at each other in a friendly fashion, but the way this has been developing is clearly not following a good path.
