No point hanging on to the Sony if it is. Can't beat a good valve amp.

Not priced too high Jamie.
I've noticed cettain things that you'd expect to fly are not selling :scratch:
Moneys always tight so maybe it's something to do with that.
Also feels a bit like people want good stuf for nothing at present.
My 752 Freedoms at £140 are a steal as far as I'm concerned and are in top order.
There's also a pair of Spendor D7's in Cherry been on the 'Bay for a while and wont shift at a bargain £2250 (£3995 new and one of the current range of Spendors)
They have best offer too so could possibly go for around £2K :eek: Bet you wouldnt see that price if you really wanted some......
Be patient Jamie, it will sell :)

The only reason it isn't selling is it's collection only imo ...
Good point. Last 3 on the bay. One for collection only made significantly less. Patience will be needed unless you can arrange a AoS taxi

The new duty taxes are really starting to hit oversea sales on ebay - I paid 2.70 for a selector switch - import duty 26.00. Ouch

That's not possible - a mistake.
What do you mean new duty taxes anyway? Nothing has changed that I'm aware of.
going a bit off topic now... its a sale thread.
i dont mind delivering it dependant how far away you are from brighton.

If you're attending the bakeoff matey, you could leave the amp with me in the midlands which may help. Happy to help if I can.
I'm really surprised it hasn't sold. If it helps at all you can leave it with me if someone wants to collect it during the working week and happy to demo it for them too.
