Bargains on ebay? (Part 2)

[spendorman]

I really should know that i own a bloody pair LOL...

Only one pair!

[dantheman91]

Of the B139's Yes...

[57charles]

Peerless tweeter too, B139 by the way.

Probably based on the Chris Rogers PRO9-T.
That's not a Peerless tweeter - it's the Audax HD12x9D25 favoured by so many box stuffers in days gone by.

Vintage ADC 10E Mk.II cartridge from the late sixties. Pretty rare and very nice sounding. Needs a lowish mass arm. A proper classic! I have two.

In case anyone fancies a properly high end direct drive linear tracker, a nice example of the Pioneer PL-L1000’s bigger brother, the Japan-only PL-L1, is up for grabs in Germany.

£2500 at current prices is cheap for one of those - serious 'one of the best ever' tt's that is - Shame it's a 100V but that wont be a deal breaker for someone

[Beobloke]

Christ, if that’s genuine then it’s a billy bargain for one of the best turntables ever made.

I paid more than that for a non-worker!

Trust me, it is!

However, having studied it more, I agree with Al - looks iffy.

That'll be why my offer of cash on collection this weekend has been ignored [emoji23]

I'll edit my post so no one gets caught out.

Sorry for posting it [emoji17]

I found it for sale in Australia 2016

https://www.stereo.net.au/forums/topic/112921-sold-sony-ps-x9-broadcast-turntable/

So unless it was sent all the way over here it looks dodgy as hell, sorry I should have looked more into before posting

I was thinking the same. It has to be the archetypal 'pot in a box' passive! You couldn't even buy the bits at the price.

I use my PC for most of my audio, has an old, but good Sandblaster 5.1 card in it. The attenuator will be used (sometimes) between the Soundblaster and a power amp, could be Radford STA25 III, Quad 405-2, Quad 303 etc. etc.

A little bit of damage, but quite cheap at £30 ? Was having a look on Gumtree to see if any Celestion speakers I have, have been listed, sadly no.

[Plusone72]

Quite a very high price, I always thought this version quite common with regards to desirability. Junk shops, carboots, local free ads etc see these selling at the £30 to £40 price I maybe wrong?

Why the price was so high. Are they so rare or are they so good¿

[walpurgis]

Just rarity value, still silly overpriced though, probably on their way to Japan now. I'd sooner have a set of Golds or HPD's for actual use.

Always wanted that 'pinstripe' DAC and transport but as you say price is a little on the high side especially for collection only.

[ianlenco]

I had a Meridian transport/dac a few years back and sold it for around £300 - this is well overpriced!

[simon g]

The 200 is CD Transport only, so no DAC, and thus his title is incorrect. Massively over priced. Description also reads like its from someone who heard from someone else, some while ago, that Meridian gear was great. A bargepole would be Pacifically sized too short to even think about touching this.

To be fair his main picture does not include the DAC but a subsequent picture shows a DAC 263.

Still expensive tough. There was a similar set up sold early this month for just north of £200 but did not include the control unit.

Up to £210 with a couple of days to go. A Quad 306 can be had for that money. I would have valued the Moth at £150 to £170.

I hope you haven’t now convinced her it’s worth a packet. £50 on gumtree for a broken one is about right and most tuners are worth peanuts these days. If it’s a £50 repair then great, if it’s a £200 one she’ll need to work hard to find a buyer interested in one of these to get her money back. The fact it’s on gumtree suggests it won’t be going on eBay with decent pics and a proper sales pitch, and will be exposed to a limited market. Could be tough.

Personally I wouldn’t thank you for one. Modern stuff outclasses it on every level for less cash. There was a reason for the valve revival in the 90s - most of these Japanese solid state AB, high feedback, function-loaded integrated amps were robust enough but a total snooze fest. Main reason for high-ish values compared to a few years back (IMO) is the the younger generation think this old silver crap from before they were born looks cool in a retro living room.

I just do not see how anyone can look at that auction and not know that the seller is a lying arsewipe. Any twat with a smartphone can see what a working pair goes for. stands to reason you'd plug them in somewhere to test them.

If I see any auction anywhere with "untested" on it I just assume the seller has just crawled out from under a rock and click on...

The seller doesn't claim they are working: he says he is unable to test them, so they may or may not work. As always, caveat emptor.

I found your post: https://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?58184-Quad-ESL-57-Speakers but the serial numbers are not mentioned, nor can it be read from your photo of the rear of one speaker.

He is listing them as 'for parts or not working'. But I despise any seller who sells a pair of speakers as two separate auctions, just as I despise those that break down, say an SME arm into parts, and auction them off separately.

Gary was right in offering the advice - the last two (UK based) working Pioneer SA9100 amps sold on ebay for £360 and £385 .... hardly 'peanuts'. The £360 sale attracted 35 bids - so clearly a market for them.

But yes, a lot depends on how much a repair would be ... but even at a cost of £200 for repair she would still be quids in if the cosmetics are good .... certainly worth more than the £50 asked on Gumtree (with the tuner thrown in) - even if not working.

You ignore my main point: gumtree isn’t eBay - usually crap listings and mainly local reach - and for that reason alone this is highly unlikely to make anywhere near top dollar.

What I can’t fathom are who are the idiots paying this sort of money for so-so sounding old junk?

What does that matter - she was trying to flog some gear ... who cares why some folk pay over the odds for it.

When the kids were small - 20 years ago - put my proper kit away in the loft for about 5-6 years. I lived near Weston Super Mare at the time and frequented a place called Weston Hifi Exchange.

There I was astonished to find all sorts of kit I’d read about when I first got into hifi (at school in the late 70s, hey-day of the hifi mags), or lusted after in mates’ big brothers’ setups. I got through a lot of ‘renowned’ kit - as was anyway - prices generally from £25, seldom more than£75 - you really couldn’t give this stuff away in the mid 90s. Most of it sounded either shit or (at best) tolerable. I was a skint new dad so I didn’t bother what the setup looked like.

A lot of it went in trade in as I cycled round the gear, some of it did indeed eventually wind up in the skip. I don’t recall this specific pioneer but £400 will get you pretty close to, say, a Quad 34/306 combo that I guarantee will piss all over it.

As for the seller magically transforming herself from selling what she regarded as old junk for £50 on gumtree, to turning out a knowledgeable quality listing capable of getting top dollar on eBay (minus the 10% listing fees/4% PayPal fees don’t forget) ... well I’m not holding my breath on that one.

My concern was that putting an expectation of a big return in this woman’s head wasn’t necessarily a great idea, when it’s going to be hard for her to achieve anything like that amount.

[mikmas]

You need to look at the two sales listings I mentioned - admittedly one does a better job than the other in describing the amp but in both cases the photos are mediocre to utter shite in quality terms and most definitely a long way off from 'quality listings'. The worse photos belong to the sale that went for £385 ... the seller shouldn't be left alone in charge of a camera :lol:

Clearly the amp in question (quite a hefty beast in you check up on hifiengine) has garnered a stellar reputation somewhere in god's sweet pastures.

https://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/pioneer/sa-9100.shtml

quote:
The SA-9100 is Pioneer's finest professional stereo integrated amplifier.

It features an all stage direct coupled pure complementary OCL circuit, resulting in a super wide bandwidth and distortion free power, a unique 3 stage direct coupled equaliser, twin stepped tone controls for making critical bass and treble adjustments and level set volume and loudness contour controls to adjust listening preference.

Other features include 2-way tape duplicating and monitoring, 2 position high and low filters and 3 pairs of speaker output terminals.

So what you are saying is that it has the fairly typical over-complicated (generally feedback based) tone and volume controls of a high end amp of the period, an approach that is generally given as one of the main reasons why kit of the era usually sounds a bit rubbish?

I simply suggested she checks sold prices on Ebay and consider getting it repaired and re-advertise it.

I got my Marantz CD63KI by contacting the seller (lovely elderly gent) and telling him it was worth a lot more than the £30 he was asking for it (he didn't know KI was different to SE) he was so grateful for my honesty he sold it to me for £95.

Even if she didn't get it repaired and sold it 'as is' for spares or repair (with no returns), I'm betting she would do alright. The 'matching' (and working) tuner that she also has is also worth listing as a separate but concurrent item - last two in UK listings sold for £120 and £80. She can list them 'Collect only' which is essentially no different than Gumtree and no hassle with postage. Either way, much more than the original £50 ask.

The choice is indeed hers to do with as she pleases ... but she didn't have that knowledge before so I applaud your action (and the other you describe)

A rare and little known classic Onkyo 433 tuner from the early seventies. This was the partner to the renowned 725 integrated amplifier. Were talking Luxman standards of quality here. Wish I still had my 725, I'd buy this to go with it.

I purchased one of my Aiwa AP2200 TT's from that seller :) Nice

Talking of which - this is a right bargain for someone !! Needs a stylus , strobes out ,and has no adjutable feet ,for some reason , but thats not the end of the world !!

I did in the seventies. Bought new Tannoy drivers and built my own cabinets rather than have them built. I'm sure many others did too, as the drive units with crossovers were available on their own, although the average buyer would no doubt have bought ready made complete speakers.

To be fair there's a lot more goes into making these than meets the eye. When I went to shrink wrap college, I only got 2 years into the six year course and had to drop out as it was too gruelling. And that isn't just any old clingfilm either, it's Saran wrap!

Let themselves down by miss spelling "cord" though, makes it all look a bit iffy.

[Barry]

Jeez - they look awful (Saran wrap or not)!

Are they worth the money? Well a lot of work goes into them, and the conductors are claimed to be 7N silver. Most commercially available silver wire is only 3N (or 4N at best), so refining it to 7N purity will be expensive. Cold welding the conductors to the connectors make sense, but to do the job properly you have to have the correctly sized crimping tools, otherwise the crimp will not be reliable and will fail with time. Platinum plating the connecting surfaces make sense from a cosmetic point of view, but is of doubtful advantage electrically.

What is this obsession with the mechanical damping of cables? All cables are soft, flexible and compliant, not stiff and rigid; so how are these vibrations transmitted?

But as I said they look awful and I wouldn't pay £15 for one, let alone £15,000, no matter how good they sound. Are those testimonials genuine?

Collectible ? Bit of overpriced junk that’s been hanging around at that price for a while. It’s certainly mono era, not even sure that’s a proper 301.

I’m sure he’s on Wigwam so they might be cheaper there

Love to get another set sometime.

Seller's high price expectations. Very low IQ behaviour.

Tidy looking Quad 306. £220 'Buy it now'. A fair price for a nice one by current standards.

I really must give this 306 a try sometime.

Linn K5 cartridge, old and used obviously. Yours for a mere £75! I don't think so :rolleyes:.

Most buttons on a CD player

Good price for a turntable, just gone on Gumtree, in the Nottingham area.

Wus! In Japan they'd use those near-field with just a chair in the room 4 feet away.

If that chair had wheels on a tile floor you would you would be a Rollin!

Nice. It's an early SL 15E actually, not just an SL 15. Sounds very similar to the SPUE.

[Barry]

I have couple of them, as well as a Mk. II. Used to have the 2-15K transformer as well, but sold it to Tom (I preferred using the Nakamichi MCB 100, but that was a matter of personal choice).

Yes, very similar to the SPU-GE. :)

Stuck at £117 and didn't reach its reserve - mind you the casing did look like it's been used as a skateboard at some point :lol:
