There is the ad. I'm reasonably certain I've seen this photo before...or read this exact posting. It's in a safe neighborhood in Philly so I don't know why I'm bothered so much by it, but it really seems too good to be true. Any other local joe guys see this before? Just really bothering me.

Well, the ad now reads that it's "On Hold". I don't know, maybe the guy really does just want to get rid of it, and can't be bothered to try to sell them. The only real eyebrow raiser to me is -- why buy the replacement O-Rings and never use them? And based on the ad, he clearly knows how to fix a Joe.

It's a weird ad, but I don't necessarily think it's a scam.

Based on my years living in Philly: of course it's a scam, it's Philly!

I bought a bag of I think 50 O-rings about 8 years ago and never have even opened the bag yet :( man I am lazy.

Well, I have purchased several hundred o-rings from jasonsjoesandmore over that last few years for several reasons.

1) I have a lot of ARAH fodder that will need o-rings.
2) He usually has them for about 4 cents a piece, and sometimes I use a promo code during one of his promotions and get them for $.03 each. $4 for 100 isn't bad. $3 for 100 is awesome...
3) Just because...
