Lightning strikes twice....
As luck would have it, I got a call last week for a green sub. The thing is, I already got a call from a different AD two months ago and picked one up.
I immediately texted my son about it. Lo and behold, he wanted it.
Needless to say, we picked it up!
Now we have a matching pair.
Two LVs bought at MSRP!
Patience paid off.

Nice pick ups. How long did you have to wait?

Six months from one AD and one year from the other.

Did you have prior relationship with both ADs?

Thanks you all.
Just like a few members of the forum, I had my name added to the list at multiple ADs. There are two in my area which I have bought from previously. I think it’s just pure luck. I’m not in the position to pay over MSRP therefore I never considered going to a grey dealer.

No Centurion card or fresh cut flower technique just my good looks haha (in reference to a recent popular thread).

Peace!

You’re implying he didn’t buy from an AD and he’s not being honest???

Very cool to 1) get both at MSRP and 2) be able to share it with your son. Wear them both in great health!
