This is the seller I bought my Hafler DH220 from. Apart from having a few marks on the top plate it was actually in pretty decent nick. All the heatsink fins were in sound condition and the unit arrived very well packed, and considering it was a heavy old beast I thought £8.99 for postage was very reasonable. I paid 90 quid for the unit and after a little elbow grease it cleaned up very well. Below are two pics, one of the unit at their depot and one with the Hafler in situ in my system as it was then :)

Nah! You was mugged mate! :D

Seriously, how can you go wrong? With a pair of HF2000s going for around £200 now, you can't lose.

I was lusting after these myself and if I had the space (never mind the loot!) I would have been very happy with them.

Nice speakers, nice price too James :)

Some Uniques in BG Shop

This is not strictly Ebay - but thought you might find it interesting anyway.

I recently discovered there are a few vintage hifi shops in Sofia (Bulgaria) BION!

Here are a few highlights, note these are prices in BG Leva. To convert to GBP divide by 2.3. (or 2.5 roughly)

Yeah I'm pretty happy with the price :D I was expecting them to jump up another £100 but it never came... Any ideas what that white stuff on one of the mids could be ? Looks like plaster dust but could be anything [hopefully nothing serious!]

Here I think I have found an example of eBay at its worst.... I present you with exhibit A: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DYNACO-IV-...item2c72e63040

Whats wrong with that you ask ? Well... The seller states "RECENT GARAGE FIND AND TOTALLY UNTESTED" & "MAY OR MAY NOT WORK. IVE NOT TOUCHED IT WHATSOEVER,AS FOUND."

Got that ? Good. Now I present you with exhibit B: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DYNAKIT-40...p2047675.l2557

I firmly believe its the same amplifier, check that stain spot on the top of the transformer... Note this honest seller states "fault on mains transformer primary"

WHATS ALL THAT ABOUT !? Have I completely lost the plot or is someone trying to make a quick buck at someone else's expense ?
