Kevin Bresnahan Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 Those prices are outrageous. The Tina Brooks set goes for ~$100 all the time. I actually picked up one for $80 just a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmitry Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 Sorry for going off on a tangent, am I the only one to have an issue with the PREOWNED tag on anything? There's no such thing as"preowned", there's used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 https://www.grammarphobia.com/blog/2013/07/pre-owned.html Something truly "preowned" would be something that had not yet been owned, which in the most generous meaning would mean brand new (although, not really because ownership is assumed to be with the manufacturer until they sell it, correct?).

sidewinder Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 Thankfully, they are not calling them ‘pre-loved’. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Car dealers do that all the time. Of course, we are talking about car dealers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 "Pre-" the prefix and "Previously" the adverb do not mean the same thing! I mean, there's language as play, as poetry, as physical/mental sound, but there's still language as a means of communicating specific notions and realities, a means of defining "truth". A blurring of the language intended to lull consumers into the cloudy complacency of mental atrophy is certainly to be expected, but it is precisely because of its inevitability that it should constantly be called out. It is but one tool of the predator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
