Cash payment? WTF

Got to be kidding

[Barry]

Is he for real? £12,000 for a pair of Celestion 66s?

[Macca]

If they were still made they would probably retail for close to that.

Knock a zero off and you're about there.

they started with a but it now price of £1200 then they were upped to £2500 and now the current price.
i said in an early post the buyer states totally original and not molested in any way,the pictures clearly show 2 different bass drivers and the mids look different too!

These Mordaunt Short speakers are a horror story.

If I recall, the bass units were Fanes, those are Goodmans. There's a Goodmans tweeter were there should be a midrange driver and the other mid is scrap. The Coles tweeter is the only original unit, the other tweeter looks like a cheap Chinese type.

According to the description they sound good with some Shirley Bassey playing through them, though:

Mids (tweeter) may have originally been KEF T15's

This is the latest stunt on eBay, item doesn't sell at £1000, relist it at £1250 it doesn't sell again, list it again at £999 and someone thinks they've gotten a bargain reduced from £1250.

See it happening a lot these days.

It could also be that he has sold them privately. If he cancels the auction ebay will charge him 10%, if he leaves the auction open someone might buy them and he'll be charged 10%, if he changes the price to £12k no one will buy them, auction will finish with no buyer and the seller doesn't have to pay a fee.
