You're in the same boat as me Andr'e :doh: A year or so ago i won an auction for a couple of Krell KAS2 monoblocks & i'd already got the ok from a mate to drive me down just south of London to pick them up at a price :)Quote:

Hi Mark
Well i've always said some people sell stuff for a reason but it's a chance you have to take.You can guarenteed everything i fancy is the other side of the country :(
The amount of stuff i bought thats arrived smashed due to poor packing is Beggars belief.I mean how easy is it but to use an oversized box, pack the unit in a way that it's technically suspended in free space within the packing, if the unit gets hit the free space takes it & not the unit. :scratch:
Indeed, i think i must have been lucky as i have never received anything broken in nearly 1200 buys on ebay. I agree with the above entirely ;)Quote:

Did you go for them Atacama stands?
I've been very lucky in that respect i suppose, all the stuff i've gotten over the years from ebay has been packed realy well, even the stuff that was supposed to be collection only, my last set of wharfedales for instance, i won them for £6 or £7 they cost £12 p&p and i shit you not, the seller packed them like they were the crown jewels or something, shredded paper bubble wrap the whole nine yards, and it must have taken him some time to do it too.Quote:
