    I picked them up on Thursday night, an hour after the auction ended - they're mostly in fantastic condition. I wouldn't have risked buying such an unknown quantity if there had been a postage cost attached.
    ........but for 99p, well, it'd be rude not to, wouldn't it?

    Bit of a too good to be true bargain.
    Turns out that the seller would prefer payment by bank transfer, and that it's a Romanian account. Bit stinky methinks. Reported it to ebay.

    Very cheap for Boulder amps. I'd be suspicious too.

    There was a preamp too.

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=110744871797

    These don't seem like the details of someone from Wakefield. People from Wakefield don't even know where Doncaster is, never mind Romania.
