Uh...wouldn't that be the BEST reason to get it? My latest purchase, about 125 CD's off a Craigslist seller. Mostly classical (some really good ones) and some blues & pop music. There's one set of 10 classical recordings that still have the cellophane wrapper on them. Oh yeah, the best part: $25 for the whole box. Last edited: Oct 23, 2016

j_garcia Audioholic Jedi Oct 24, 2016 #3,625 Biodegradable filters and the filters are fairly inexpensive compared to others. Filters quickly and tastes better than Brita. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AHJEJXW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

MidnightSensi Audioholic Samurai Oct 26, 2016 #3,627 Picked up a pair of Emotiva Airmotiv 3b speakers on sale for my desk at work. 100 bucks shipped. I was going to get some Audioengine A2+'s (I used to have A2s but they died) but these were 150 cheaper. Sound is the same as the A2s, maybe a bit fuller, perfect for a little work setup plus added benefit of bluetooth if I ever want/need it. Filesize was too big so here is an imgur link to photo: http://imgur.com/a/pT2gb

This might help you: https://lifehacker.com/what-its-like-to-buy-a-mattress-over-the-internet-1736589973 I glanced over Purple return policy and wasn't very much impressed. I they tried to make it in a simpler language, but it's not 100% clear if 30 days trial includes full money back. In general, My suggestion to you - only trust what your back is telling you and if you have a spouse - get one you both find comfy. You'll spend 1/3 of you life on it, so consider it carefully. Return policy was most important indicator for us.

If you are looking for a mattress this is the place to do your research: http://www.themattressunderground.com/ 3 years back when I was looking for a mattress I started with Saatva but ended up with a much better quality product for my money from a local manufacturer. Mattress Underground is kind of like Audioholics for mattresses.

How's his prices fare? I think our king SEALY (springs+pillowtop) was around $1.5k from Macy's including $200 out of pocket in case of return (actual mattress will be destroyed not resold)

I felt his prices were fair but I wasn't buying on price so I didn't compare apples to apples. I was buying based upon information briefly looking at the 'S' stores and my research on the mattress underground forum. After my wife and I tested all the mattresses I bought a king latex mattress + pillowtop. Naturally this turned out to be the most expensive mattress @ around 4k. A lot of money but I must say I'm really happy with it. And they said it should last over 20 years.
