Badges are getting expensive! Last viewed: 3 minutes ago

Loading...

I know that Gretsch badges appear to command some insane prices, but I never thought that Pearl badges would go this high. I just need one of these Pearl script badges, and they've only come up in sets of two or three: I'm not buying several just to get one! What's up with this price? $56 for two?

So, buy them both, use one, and sell the other.

No matter how far you push the envelope, it is still stationery.

From Ray Dee Oh King

He was trying to juice me on parts as well. I sent him a message about it,was polite about it as well and he blocked me on Facebook. He charges triple of what everyone else charges.

"Juice" you? You're treading on some shaky ground there, fella. If the guy's name was O'Brien, would you use veiled attempt at masking what you probably would say verbally?

What's wrong with using the term juiced?

If you need to ask, you are probably either: (A) comfortable with using the implied slur or: (B) you are not familiar with the implied slur. The use of the term "juiced" that is familiar to me is for describing excitement or being "pumped up" in anticipation of something. Another very old use of the term is as a substitute for the word extortion or extraordinarily high interest rates.

Dude. Sounds like you're on some "juice." If you're "implied slur" is for "getting it on" then maybe that's what you're in dire need. I didn't sense any slur from Rah Dee. Not even slightly. Maybe your kidding. If not, I'm not sure if you know what you meant.

Is this Alan Fogel???

Anyway, I'm asking : what on earth is meant by Juice? (Before you answer I'm going to quickly cover up all my table + chair legs so you don't get too excited (re: juiced)).

Doesn't "juice" in this instance simply mean to overcharge? It's a metaphor, like juicing an orange..."squeezing money from." I don't think it's that big a deal.
