    I'm watching out of some perverse curiosity. It's like watching a car crash in slow motion...

    Some days bargains can be found at BHF on eBay, but this is not one of them, I can only assume that those bidding on this can see that this cartridge has a super transparent presentation.

    I have had some bargains from BHF, but be aware their packaging skills are abysmal.

    Yeah, ditto. I had an absolutely mint Thorens TD126 MkII delivered to me in sub-component form because they'd just put it in a loose box. And that despite me giving them packing instructions.

    I got a refund, despite their protestations.

    Why wouldn't they be bidding? Aren't they over a grand new? What am I missing?

    Oops that's a bit of a mistake. Good job eBay almost always sides with the buyer.

    Was going to try and contact BHF before the train crash but it’s too late, only 3 mins to go…

    Put that in your pipe.

    Interesting. If I'm reading it right, they're not Wilson but DIY and he's selling the cabs and just some of the drivers, and if you want everything he's selling it's £130 not £100.

    Still might be an interesting project but collection only from right out in the bushes.

    Lazy use of AI descriptions is enough to put me off a seller.

    Eg this description of Led Zep II makes it sound like Luis Oliveira ("Chihuahua!")

    I don't know, who's ever listened to The Lemon Song and not wanted to do the cha-cha?
