for some reason you seemed to have picked an argumentative attitude with me.
Not really, i'm just discussing things that i find interesting, don't feel you have to reply if you don't wish, not looking to argue with you.
you keep justifying your decision to buy your dummy for 300 british pounds. i could care less.
I'm just putting forward an opinion, i am discussing points i find interesting, like how much some people charge and making a few jokes along with it. Perhaps you have misunderstood my humour? And i believe you mean that you couldn't care less not that you could care less.
consumer rights? sure, pay $150 to have a defective dummy shipped to your house and another $150 to ship it back.. hoping they dont send U another dummy with similar defects.
If someone sells you a defective product you still pay postage there? Thats crazy, surely you have rights there to deal with that?
Minor cracks eventually turn into Big Cracks.
Can do, could easily never get any worse at all. Its a weird looking crack.
if u dont want or cant afford to spend Extra $$ for your dummy, thats your perogative.
Dude i'm aware its my perogative, don't be so touchy about it. Its a discussion forum, i'm discussing stuff just as i would in person with people. You have given your opinion on things, when you give opinions do you not expect that to be open to some kind of discussion?
Its less a case of being able to afford it but rather a case of justifying it. I mean do you dispute that $1600 is a lot of money to spend on a dummy based on what it actually is, not based on how it stands to other things in the market. If you have no intention of discussing stuff then thats fine but please don't think i'm trying to argue with you, its just discussion and banter.
you seemed to have strayed off the main topic. my main question was:
If anyone had first hand exposure with said dummy. Obviously you havent.
Instead of answering my post, U keep raving on about your Fantastic super cheap dummy you got years ago for 300 pounds, yada, yada, yada.
Who Cares??????
Well obviously not you, and is there really a problem with straying off topic? I'm just shocked that there aren't any other decent dummy's out there for a lower price. I mean its fair enough if you are decided on what dummy you want, i'm not suggesting you shouldn't get it or anything i'm just making commentry on price and availability of a dummy. I was just hoping that if i was able to find a decent dummy for a decent price that perhaps you could too, or at least have broader choices than either "junk" or $1600!! I wasn't expecting you to be bothered by talking about things.
I obviously haven't had exposure to the dummy if i'm asking you what is wrong with it. I think the frame looked a bit naff but i wasn't completely sure as to why you dismissed it so i asked why and tried to strike up a conversation. The points you made about arms and leg seemed valid to me but is it really junk? Would it be a good dummy for someone on a bedget or is it really a no go for everyone? Just trying to get information that others may find useful. I mean the paint doesn't really matter, thats just aesthetics which is why i was asking if the looks were important to you?
and to answer your question on my dummy usage, it'll be use by me and my classmates for the:
WC dummy set
JKD dummy set
and some Panantukan/ Sikaran drills.
Should i ask about the JKD dummy set or are you not interested in conversing? I was making a joke when i asked how your usage differed from normal wing chun usage, its just the way you made it sound when you said "my kinda useage". Also made a joke about UK being a **** load smaller than the US and about it raining all the time in England. Just thought i'd let you know that the drive of my post was light hearted banter and discussion of prices rather than argument. I would ask questions about the JKD dummy set if you are at all interested in discussing that, i know it isn't the topic, but it has naturally spawned from the subject. Its not like i've come in here and started talking about cars! Hopefully this post will clear up where i am comming from.
