It stops you getting into a bidding war really , thats all ,IMO
I also used Goofbay until they decided to make folk pay for the service.
Yes , the bar stewards;)Quote:

You're just being too picky about it! :lol:

Picked up this Trio deck for a paltry £40 yesterday.
Heard it playing first - more than decent, through an early 90s NAD integrated and a pair of Castle bookshelves - and the owner actually seemed a bit reluctant, explaining he'd just bought a new Rega but there wasn't much between them.
It's got a Grado GT fitted and everything looks tickety-boo, apart from needing a good scrub.

It's actually for my gf as she's currently got one of those nasty Crossley suitcase jobs :eek:
I'm gonna get an amp and speakers and set it all up for Christmas :)
Looks good Paul. Is it going to be a surprise Christmas present for your girlfriend?
(BTW - don't store your records face down like that. Always store them vertically.)
Nice one, Paul. That's a lovely find, and a real bargain at £40. No wonder you're chuffed! Enjoy :cool:
Marco.
