Bargains on ebay?

Re-live those Windham Hill vinyl moments digitally!

Sony PCM 1630 Digital Processor (A/D D/A)

A lot of Windham Hill records from the 80s were recorded with one of these (I guess to digital tape?).

Wonder what the D/A section of one of these would sound like Lampizated.. £99 finds out - don't imagine there will be other bids.

Ebay are to increase their final value fee cap to £75 !

We’d like to clarify some confusion relating to the announcement below:

This update only applies to Private Sellers, Business Seller fees remain unchanged.
The change means that from 10 July 2012 Final Value fees for private sellers will capped at a maximum of £75. This means that should you sell an item for under £750 (as a final price) your final value fee will be 10% of that sale price. If your item sells for over £750 you will be charged a maximum final value fee of £75
This change only refers to the final value fee imposed after an item is sold. Listing fees remain unchanged.
This change does not apply to motors listings, property or classifieds.

Regards,
The eBay Team

Its getting more and more expensive to sell on ebay unless you're a business seller - their aim (as had been announce many times at various AGMs I've seen quotes from over the years) is to turn it into a massive online mall with only businesses on there. Private sellers are just too much hassle!

Best thing perhaps to do is completely over price your item and encourage contact - i.e. use eBay as an advertising venue and conduct business outside of it.

Ive often bought things outside of eBay after missing a listing or one has ended prematurely - either the winning bidder didn't finalise or they ended because the item wasn't working properly.

Hmmm :scratch: why aren't there other night owls up and posting?

Some of those were reportedly very good in their day. I wonder how they sound now?

Don't expect I'd be allowed one in the house.

Lynx L22 sound card might be a good price - 59 minutes left!

It's the world's only all new iPAD 3RD Generation microwaved 4G iPAD you cannot live without.

There's a video included in the auction details that explains it all.

What a total knob.

At least 'Will it blend' was funny.

Somebody suggested on PFM to write 'email me for discounts' in the listing in order to encourage contact with buyers which enables you to do business away from ebay. As long as they don't get wind of what your up to.

Nuts I think. It's a rather long and boring video too.
