Nice one, Chris. But do you know what the condition is like? It's all going to be rather pointless if they're not something you'd ever put your stylus near!

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?
Absolutely - that was a result, then!

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.

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