Did you see it? I was thinking of picking it up as well, but haven't seen it.

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.

Not yet. I'm hoping to next weekend.

I ordered this off of Amazon.ca for $140 off of list price for $309.23 as my Christmas gift.

Amazon.ca sent me an email yesterday stating that it shipped.

Biodegradable filters and the filters are fairly inexpensive compared to others. Filters quickly and tastes better than Brita.

Google Mi Box - not bad

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

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.

This is where I ended up going and I was/am very pleased:
http://shovlinmattress.com/

A local manufacturer based in NJ. We went to the showroom and got to see how they make the mattresses right there. I seem to recall there is a list of local and regional manufacturers somewhere on the site. With a little digging you can find it.

Edit:
Here's the list if it is helpful to anyone. These are companies that offer a 'mattress underground' discount but are not 'endorsed' in any way:

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 bought this new for $18.00 on 180gm vinyl. The song "At last" was played at my Mom's funeral earlier this month.

Sorry for your loss 3db. Etta is one of my fav. I read her auto bio. It's a must read.

So sorry, 3db. Prayers for you and your family.

"At last
My love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song.

You smiled, you smiled
Oh and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
for you are mine...

At Last"

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.
