There were NO BIDS. Strange as the arm alone would been probably worth having.

Exactly... My point was that if it was so rare and desirable (as suggested earlier), why were there no bids?

The problem I think is that the Linn sheep won't buy anything which hasn't been officially blessed by Ivor... If it'd had a stock plinth and an Ittok instead, it'd likely have sold! :doh:

It's not about the sound, but about the ability to say that one owns an original LP12 ;). There was once an LP12 with a newly built plinth on sale in another forum. Price was ridiculously low, but because it was not the factory plinth it wouldn't shift.

If you look at the listing, it didn't actually not sell, but "The listing was ended because the item is no longer available".

This means one of two things:

(1) Seller realised just what he had, in which case expect to see it re-listed soon at a much higher price.

(2) Someone made him an off-eBay offer that was too good to refuse.

Exactly, the auction never ran to the end - the seller pulled it. My guess someone made him an offer.

Yes, of course. The seller probably did have an offer he couldn't refuse. :eyebrows:
