Astronaut Joe replied to dmcneice on Mitsubishi 470L Fridge - MR-WX470F-W-A - $2682 Delivered @ Appliances Online

Astronaut Joe replied to virtualds on Sony A80J 77" $5,495 + Free Delivery & Installation + $500 JB Hi-Fi Gift Card @ JB Hi-Fi
Included gift card shouldn't be in the purchase price, I agree. You haven't "saved" it, it's still going to be $500 out of your pocket....

Astronaut Joe replied to p1owz0r on 6-Pack Gift Box of Chocolate Stout & Porter Craft Beers $40 (Was $50) Delivered @ Yeah, The Beers!
I wasn't a fan of the Timothy Tamothy either. Mostly that it was too generic and didn't have what the label promised.

I still have, and regularly use, a dedicated portable media player. Waaaay more preferable than using my phone for music.

I see that Amazon has reduced the prices on, from what I can tell, the same titles to match the $15 price. So it gives you another option,...

Not an option to go the roof-mounted IB route? I had one with 8 x 15" drivers (dual manifolds). Amazing to watch the drivers pump at 7Hz.
