Why has he got to conform to your perception of rightness.
I'd love to see things from your point of view but I don't think I could get my head far enough up my arse.Quote:

By the way, it should be "you're better" and there's a space after a full stop.
(Don't take that too seriously either.)

I aint perfect,nor do I pretend to be.
Paul, I hate to join in but, if you need to be told the answer to that, there's not much anyone on here can do to help you.Quote:

Come on guys,
Taking the micky out of ebay listings is one thing, but start picking holes in AOS members grammar/spelling is a real can of worms to be avoided at all costs. The net result can only end in bad feeling.
Don't go there.
Or punctuation. ;)Quote:

I don't think anybody expressed any malicious opinions.
Well, if you called me thick as shit I'd think it was pretty malicious.
Anyway, I think we all agree, it's time to return this thread back to it's rightful purpose:
Someone got a nice deal here
Your right there GW.Quote:

OK, leave it there now please. As said, back to Ebay bargains.
Thank you.
Looks like a nice, quality item.
Recently I've been thinking what you might get out of the old BSRs of the '70s used in music centres. Using just the drive and a better bearing might be interesting.
Trust me - don't. They were crap when they were new and the passage of time hasn't done a thing to change this.Quote:

I'll take your word for it, Adam. I really should get a plinth sorted out for my 401 before doing anything else.
Still mixing with the riff-raff here then!
it'll be interesting to see what it goes for.Quote:

An Usher CD player which I have not heard personally but those that have rate it highly. £56 with 2 days to go might not rise too much in price due to it's rarity

One went last week for about £100.Quote:

£1021 - not bad, including the Lenco deck.

Indeed. Although, personally I wouldn't have entertained it without examining the condition of the records first. Zero feedback and a rather vague description of the condition (in inverted commas, no less) of:Quote:

“Almost certainly VG+.”
However, I hope that whoever has bought them is lucky!
Marco.
Agree 100% - but don't forget there's 700 CDs and the Lenco in there too.Quote:

I'd have been well fooked off, having shelled out over a grand of the 'loose change' in my current account (:eyebrows:), to have been left with 700 'plastic frisbees', some grubby LPs, and a goodness-knows-in-what-kind-of-working-condition Lenco, as my 'reward'....! ;)
Marco.
He does right selling em, i let go of around 300CD's the other day, never again.
You forget Marco that the lady selling all of that gear is called "Bettina" and is obviously from the upper classes of our society; I would therefore suggest that she is trustworthy beyond reproach ... ;)Quote:

Blonde wig and 'fur garden' to match, dahling..... :kiss:

Marco.
Sorry to butt in.........
This seems a little optimistic, to say the least!

I'd value it at £5 to £10 myself.
Looks like the 'AT-21' i have tucked away somewhere, around 1967 ish..Quote:

Potty about these speaker cabinets?
Or maybe it's just speakers gone to pot?

Yup, Paul. The only way I'd have made a serious offer was if I'd lived in London and had visited the seller before the auction had ended (as many good sellers are willing to entertain), and inspected each album and found them all to my satisfaction...Quote:

Marco.
Anyone heard of Axe?
Won this non-descript valve amp:
We have never heard of them, i was watching it out of curiosity looks like EL34 under the cageQuote:
