Someone should go after PayPal,Visa,MasterCard ect.ect. for enabling this company and condoning the illegal activity. Money exchange compaines are as much to blame for not checking what services they are accepting payment for. This just makes me sick.

BTW, Don't go to that website unless you have a real good software firewall.
When I first clicked on the link my firewall started going crazy with packet requests. Then it tried to change my Network from private to public settings.
I blocked the requests and now when I click on the link it says "Service unavailable" Becareful.....

15:57:41

15:57:49
and the price you see is not including the shipping cost
Me 15:58:04

Me 15:58:25

Me 15:58:33
what would the total cost be?
15:58:34
of course
15:58:49
for one price 364usd
15:58:56
and shipping cost 65usd
Me 15:58:59

Me 15:59:04

15:59:15
so total cost 429usd for one
15:59:27

Me 15:59:32

yes ， of course

of course of course...

well...mr. master of suspense, don't keep us guessing, did you order one?

i applaude the effort.

on a different note...3 x 429 = 1287 (which, obviously, is not 1457)

Did you have to post this, my wife just looked over my shoulder and read this. Quite shocked!

Shocked at what? It was all meant as a joke. Did you think I was SERIOUS?

Lighten up, and sorry if your wife was offended.

 

[kamakazee]

Great laugh!

P.S. A sad day when fake Bongos are made.

 

[maddog]

the highest form of flattery.

 

[jlepre]

Great laugh!

The REAL sad thing is that they are trying to say they are REAL!

Oh dear

This is an example of why many of our female knuckleheads have abandoned this forum. How about if we try to be more appropriate and keep in mind that we are not in a locker room. BTW, sorry if this offends YOU.

Well I guess I have a different sense of humor than most. I won't post ANYTHING even slightly off color in the future...

BTW I deleted the post.

Thanks antman!

I have been guilty of my fair share of mis-steps. I just would like to see our female fellow bass players feel comfortable to come back.

hey jlepre, I appreciate you taking out the post. I am nobody here but I do appreciate you doing that. It shows that you do care and that is all we can ask of each other

[Oldtoe]

So what happened to the Faux Bongeaux shysters?

Not a problem. After reading the post over, I realize it could be construed as improper for others. I'm used to dealing with the boys in the band so to speak, so I forgot that not ALL of the members are like me I guess...

Here is their address:

B12 XinZhong Rd, ChaoYang district, Beijing, China

I will put a US Customs watch on to prevent imports to the US, and also see what else we can do, but Chinese copies are hard to address.

Although their name is Honesty firm, so they must be honest.
