Bargains on ebay? (Part 2)

search for the amp type. then top left click on advanced. tick the completed items, or sold items depending on what you want and search again. the title will still be in.. it should show all recent sales in green i think..

completed is ones where money passes hands etc. sold is nt i think

I think it is the other way round? Completed just ran the course with no sale and sold...sold?

okay looked it up

Completed is everything that sold or did not sell and where the auction or BIN listing has ended but is still visible on the site.

Sold is just the stuff that sold and where the listing is still visible on the site.

yeah but if the price is in green in completed it sold and paid

yes since 'completed' also includes all the sold items. Which I didn't know.

I only ever search on 'sold' anyway. That's where to get the price someone was actually willing to pay without trawling through what didn't sell too.

Thanks guys, doing what you said i found the item in question (Musical Fidelity A5). The bids went to £463 for this non-working unit (just £90 less than my functioning and cosmetically perfect example cost me). But the winning bidder backed out I guess, maybe got caught up in a bidding war then came to his senses.

On a buy it now for £450, about 300 quid more than I would have risked on it.

Not worth it even though Alan could probably fix it in ten minutes - lots of good working amps for less.

Wharfedale CRS3 - I used to have some of these many years ago - excellent small speakers totally under the radar:

Remind me of my old Delta 30’s,
no front port like these though, these look much better.

Remember ‘upgrading’ my Delta 30’s on the advice of a mate,
swapping in a Mundorf capacitor and shoe polishing the paper bass unit on the ‘Comet Special’ Delta 30’s.

Happy days.

Delta 30 were terrible my brother had some which I had to fix. No crossover, they ran that cheapo driver full range.

Doping it with shoe polish probably did help!
