I will sell an old pair or two on ebay, but the price on these is so good I have to jump on them now. What wrong with the old ones? You bought them, you like them. Stick with them. 7. If you don't give me the money for them I will seek to become legally emancipated, then enlist in the Army for a tour of Iraq. Thank God, I can do with a rest. There are many other excuses, limited only by your imagination. Sorry if some of these are duplicate suggestions: I was so anxious to help, I did not take the time to read all the previous posts.

Get a job. I just turned 15 and I have a summer job. I never spend my parents money anymore on anything non-essential. Trust me, headphones sound better when you paid for them yourself. Just like how food tastes better when you cooked it yourself.

I, personally, prefer the eBay method. Buying cheap selling a tad more expensive. Hey, I've earned my bel canto and many other silly things that way. But working alongside can't hurt.

All quiet on the western front, neither I nor him mentioned them again, and he just went fishing (commercial fisherman), so he will be gone for a few days. I am expecting delivery on Tuesday, hopefully I can decide whether or not to keep these before he gets home.
I am counting down the days (I really wish I had had the money to use 2 day shipping, but as it was I am already broke from the e4c's--Damn you Head-fi

).

You shoulda got him to buy you another pair, then sell one

You guys are just to smart for me

I am sure my dad who was having enough trouble with me buying one, would absolutely love to buy one for me

I think I just take a good pair of headphones and curtail my spending for a while.
