Post Your Last Purchase XXVIII

Well it came today- it powers on but shows no video, internal or external. I can hear system sounds but no other life. And it is a 17” original. 2003.

Is this a regular thing for you, are you buying them to fix them up?

Buying to fix or use for parts if it’s too far gone.

These are great price for value speakers, you’ll enjoy them. What source & amp will you be using? 🤓

First time stepping into bookshelf speakers. Coming from a Mackie CR3 (don't laugh).
One thing that was noticable was, everything sounded a bit flat and I honestly I don't know if I prefer it or not.
I spent so many days searching and hemming about what speakers to get, Fluance, B6.2, Jamo S803,Inifinity, so the lead up had me thinking I was going to be blown away. Idk. Maybe its just too powerful for nearfield listening?
I went with a cheap $80 class D speaker amp on Amazon. I think Fosi?

Got a cheap set of Bose Companion 2 series III online to replace my old Dell 5.1 system. Hopefully they’ll be decent- everything else I’ve had from Bose has been great.

Finally got my Pop to go with my helmet.

Almost as long, my pride band showed up today.

Think I went a little crazy with sneakers. Ive been a Nike homer FOREVER, but once I got my first pair of Ultra Boosts, I was done. Comfort was night and day, even with my $150+ Nikes. I order a lot from Adidas Europe, especially when they have big discounts, because I wear a 49 1/3, and finding that size in Greece is impossible.

The drone is my first drone ever. Im scared sh*tless of it, as far as flying it is concerned. I already hit a tree, lightly. But the thing takes amazing videos for its camera quality.

Im a little pissed with the LG monitor I got. Its an amazing monitor for my PS4 Pro, but I would have waited had the PS5 event happened earlier, because it will apparently be up to 120fps, and the LG is only up to 60fps.

Also ended up getting my dad an 128gb iPad for $329 from Best Buy. He's never used anything that technologically advanced, so the base model will be more than enough for him.

Is that the 49” monitor? I picked up one along with two 27” Samsung curved monitors last July. I’m so glad I did with the COVID mess hitting. My only disappointment is it doesn’t work well (in my experience) with sharing the desktop or application. To compensate I drag the window up to one of the Samsung’s and share from there.

No, it’s a 27uk650. I only use it for my PS4Pro, and for an occasional pc fix.

ITunes gift card for deceased former coworker's daughter. This young lady is awesome and I used to give her money on her birthdays while working with her mom. Today isn't the daughter's birthday, but I've been wanting to send something to this kid for awhile.

And in and around groceries and other bills, Shaw Brothers memorabilia (Politely haggling with a dealer so the lobby card and photo sets have been more in line with what i want to pay (at least 50% dealer's asking price), rather than auction prices.

Nando's Peri-Peri Hot sauce, 4 pack.
Nando's is possibly my favorite "fast food". I was thrilled to see their sauces available on Amazon(US) (as i don't have a restaurant close by). A different type of "hot". Great for grilling chicken.

I always visit a Nandos at least twice during my trips to London. My wife and I share the full chicken (medium spice) with two large sides (cole slaw and chips) with liberal use at the table of hot sauce and the garlic sauce. Very tasty

Update- they are excellent and really live up to my expectations for Bose products. The two little speakers sound as good as the 5.1 system I’m replacing.

I buy these sauces a lot and the dry rubs. I’ve only eaten in Nando’s perhaps 4 times ever and personally hate the experience. Much rather make it myself and not queue up with a load of teenagers lol.

approx. 1,250 USD

Took advantage of the MACRUMORS30 discount at Zagg last week and picked up two Braven-Mini bluetooth speakers - one each for the office and bedroom - for about $60 total including tax. Great reviews and a 2-year warranty. It'll be sweet now falling asleep to tunes from my phone no longer sounding like fingernails on a blackboard.

I purchased a painting (18x24) from a California artist. It wasn't particularly expensive or inexpensive. I‘m looking forward to it arriving.
