hi guys… i think I better share this…
yesterday saw an ad 1lk for a rytm… fuck yeah, I dont think twice about that! … guy tells me after arrange a meetup for the following day, he has a 2nd offer , but if I was willing to pay 50 bucks on top, I would get the machine as planned.
I agree, and ask him to remove the ad from the interwebs … he agrees.
next day comes, I end up at the wrong house (n 31 instead of 13) my mistake… he answers the phone, tells me he just woke up (middle of day, usual thing in berlin tbh) asks me to come by in 30 min. … I say I gotta go to work, he says he will be quick in the shower…
he buzzes me in, after calling my phone to make sure it is me who is actually ringing his doorbell …
2nd floor up, he asks me to wait… no name sign at the door …
I walk in and am greeted by 2 sleepy characters on a couch, and him in boxers …
(also a super awesome black dog)
I look at the rytm…paint chip here and there, bit worn off… she had a good few rough nights I bet…I look at the power supply… not original …buuuh I think, that sucks ass… I ask again, hey any chance you would still have the original round… he says “no, got it like that” …
machine seems to work fine … test mode, while turning on, I hear a beepy crackling sound… after 3rd time it disappears, headphones output…
test mode tells me all is fine …
I ask for the original box… nah doesnt exist …
I say I would still take her, ask if he will sign a contract of purchase… he agrees…I ask for his name, he writes in on a piece of paper… I turn the Rytm on its back to write the SN … it had been scratched off …
I leave without the Rytm
