The authenticity card is the only proof that you typically get whenever you buy such a mod from (or via) a personal friend excepting only if you are lucky enough to be so close to the actual source that they'll give you the original receipt also. Anyone who has bought one in this manner already knows this fact. All the Cipher mods I have are used ones except for the red delrin FTR, which is still unfired. As for giving 500 Euros to someone, my cheapest Cipher was
double that amount... quadruple it for the titanium Eagle so, if you can buy one of these for only 500 Euros, it means you more than likely are exceptionally very close to the source, which I definitely am not, and, neither is my friend who sold/arranged them to/for me. Your constant whining about it doesn't change a thing about how this all works.
Do I feel like I'm part of the elite club? No, I'm not a member of any high end private groups like I already said multiple times. I don't
have to be, so I choose not to be, just like I also choose to stay away from FB altogether. But at least I'm not the one who keeps on moaning about how the members of such clubs behave so pitiful. You don't even know any of them. You think you do, but I know that you don't. You are still just confusing the real high end groups with those that only pretend to be that. For some strange reason, this is what's keeping you cry. I have a feeling your crying isn't going to stop anytime soon.
That's why the real high end groups strictly are private. It's because they know from experience the fact people like you don't easily stop crying. Plain and simple. And, no, I never cried about someone talking shit about rx100 mods. I've never actually even heard about an rx100 mod before... I haven't the slightest idea what that might be so, please feel free to enlighten me. Or don't, and instead just keep crying like you do. It's really very entertaining to keep watching you cry. It's why I'm here. Watching you cry is almost as enjoyable as being the owner of a high end collection, and the best part about it is that it doesn't cost a Eurocent.
Have a nice day!
