Meridian 506.20 CD Player

[Ninanina]

I am posting this sale of a Meridian 506.20 cd player for a friend who "doesn't do forums" !!

The cd player is in near mint condition, I don't think you would buy better condition

It works perfectly with no faults as you'd expect from a quality machine

There is no remote but most Philips/Marantz type remotes will operate it

He would like £350 ovno for it

He would prefer pick up from Portsmouth, PO2. If not he is willing to post, via Parcel Force 48, but due to the weight of the unit, the packaging and insurance, postage will be £25 (it will actually cost him over £30 but he will reduce that to £25)

Please PM me if you are interested and I will pass the details on or I can give you his mobile number to contact him directly

Hi Alan
People keep mentioning cheaper services to me but in my experience these services either don't take the weight or cannot insure the item for the correct amount

I think £25 for sending this heavy item fully insured for the full amount isn't bad

If someone would like to arrange their own courier, and take the risks, then I am sure my friend would be fine with that as long as it doesn't mean him staying in all day for the courier to turn up

Good luck with the sale Bev however I think your friend should do his research as Parcel Force are not the only shipping service which offers full insurance coverage without a weight limit. It would increase his chances of a sale ;)

[Ninanina]

I will let him know but I don't expect him to be very interested if it means hanging around at home for a courier

[synsei]

Can he not leave it with a family member or friend Bev? As an example, James (Istari Night) shipped a pair of Celestion Ditton 44's in two packages to me here in Northamptonshire from the far west of Cornwall via TNT for 32 quid fully insured if I recall correctly. I would suspect one Ditton 44 weighs more than the Meridian so your friend may want to give them a bell ;)

To be honest this is supposed to be a sales thread and I want very little to do with the actual sale and other hassle, thanks. I will leave it up to him to decide how he wants to post it

No worries Bev, just trying to help your friend make the sale ;)

[Ninanina]

I can't see that £15 or £25 postage would make any difference to a sale, surely a tenner is not worth worrying about to get something properly boxed, packaged, insured and shipped is it?

[Ninanina]

I've passed on the comments, re: postage, to my friend who has the Meridian for sale and he's asked me to remove it from sale

So REMOVED FROM SALE

I thought for sale threads were not supposed to be crapped on. Ok it wasn't about the product but it did concern the sale. Maybe this is why the vendor "doesn't do forums".

If helpful suggestions constitute thread crapping Clive then I am guilty as charged ;)

[orbscure]

Perhaps we need a postage/shipping suggestions sticky, so that members can post their recommendations for who they use? Then a simple pointer to that thread is all that's needed without the need for those here with good intentions being labelled as something they are clearly not... :)
