Found a new local shop that has a trade in program :D

[Dissonance]

So I had a huge collection of clones (mech mods, rba's, etc.) most of which I never used and have been trying to sell for months. Took a bunch of 'em into a new shop that just opened up recently to see what they'd give me for 'em... Walked out with my first authentic mod Gotta say, so far I love the Kindred. The throw on it is so smooth, and I love that the magnets are built into the mod and can't come loose. Oh, and I popped a .15Ω build on it in the store... Took a few nice long hits, and still no hot button ^_^ Really hope this doesn't have me wanting to buy authentics from now on haha

For anyone else interested, it's Good Smaug in the Dayton, OH area. They have a whole shelf of stuff that's just for trades, and the prices they give (while not amazing) are fair for a B&M shop. They even gave me $8 for an IGO-M clone that only had one side drilled out and a straight post instead of T-post (Pretty sure I paid less than that from fasttech before the refund )

Congratulations! How many clone mech mods & clone drippers/tanks did you trade in? Just curious.

Uhh like 5? A hammer, the IGO-M, an Origen V2, a Kraken, and an AGA-T2. Oh, and I got some Kanthal thrown in with the mod I might have to start keeping an eye on fasttech/angelcigs for cheap stuff to take up there and trade for not-so-cheap stuff lol xD

Maybe a new trend. There is huge profit in used stuff, Guns, cars, stuff like that. Usually dealers know the value of an item, they usually don't get taken.

Now if I could find a shop to take juice trade-ins.

I could probably be rockin' a Wizard Evolved Titanium.

Nice for you, but, ... Ewwwwwww, I wouldn't want any used atty myself. Mod, battery, sure, but you could autoclave an atty, and I wouldn't want anything to do with it if someone had been using it previously.

Maybe I'm just weird that way, but it would be like wearing someone's used shoes or underwear, even if cleaned, would somehow still "feel" soiled.

That's one way to look at it I guess Fortunately they have all their "trade" stuff separate from their regular gear so yeah He said it was more of a community service type thing than for profit (You can only trade items in for items on the trade shelf, etc.)

And yeah, juice trade ins would be nice... But then again, I make my own juice so yeah I'd go up there with a few gallons and clean the store out haha

 

[TornadoAlley]

Trade in juice would be nice but it has to be against the law somehow. Anybody could mix in anything they want. And there are weirdos that would mix in dangerous or nasty stuff just for fun. No thanks lol. Maybe I'm just paranoid but I doubt any store with half a brain would do that.

Just get a new tip. I doubt very many people urinate in their old RTA's. Or whatever.

They are, by nature, REBUILDABLE. If I could get a nice clone used for $5-10 - I'd boil the freakin' thing. That is, if I were all worried about that. Which I'm not. Just a good scrubbing. And a soak in vodka. Then another scrubbing. Okay. I'd boil it.

So can assume you are not a fan of restaurants and dentists.

Testers are about as "used" as they get. Even though they have the little silicone tip condoms - everyone in town has huffed on that thing.

Haven't yet sneezed into my Kayfun when I'm doing a good lung hit, but it might happen. Who knows, if I get a genny, I might even let the dog chew on it. "Here ya go, girl-happy chewin'". That is, if I HAD a dog. Naw, I'd just put it through my 'mad scientist' experiments. Like my old disposable CE4's. "They don't come apart, EH? We'll just see about that.....".

Boiling.

Used underwear is normally not a problem, provided of course that you wear them on the outside of your pants.

I bought a used atty. So what? Soak it all night in 99% alcohol like I did. I'm not concerned. I did the same for the new owner of the aerotanks I sold.

I suggested a clone trade thread here so we could all try more things before shelling out the big bucks for authentics, but that didn't go well

Amen to that.

Never go juice shopping when you're hungry

"Gee this Anchovy and Belgian Waffle juice tasted so good in the store"

I don't understand why ECF is so against clone trades/sales As long as you clearly mark it clone I don't see the issue... Which clones being sold as authentics can happen now so yeah =/

I don't spend hours a day using public silverware, or have dentist tools in my mouth on a daily basis.
