I need help......I'm an addict

Not sure matey, it's coming from Denmark but the fella is having to drive to Germany to post it due to some sort of postal restriction. Hoping next week.

Better pics will be available when it gets here.

Bloody hell. Does it come with a crate of Carlsberg or something.

These amps are very rare. Not gonna find one on the doorstep. Sometimes, you just got to dust off Google translate and go for it.

Saying that, Peter (seller) has impeccable English.

The only cure is abstention, monitored access to cash and self exclusion from every dealer or trading site

So true but there's absolutely no fun in that whatsoever.

I had to get rid of my eBay account because it was getting out of hand. Not in terms of money spent but I was like a kid in a sweet shop and the kit really piles up fast and I ran out of room. Got to try loads of stuff I had always wanted a go on back in the 80s and 90s but couldn't afford though, so no regrets.

A mate of mine has recently done the opposite, he has never had an eBay account due to fear of all the Vinyl he'd buy. He's had an eBay account since June and spent £3000

Knowing him it's probably higher lol

His favourite phrase at the minute

"I'm living on beans, Ol'"

I've been with eBay for about 12 years and only have about 150 transactions under my belt. But I dread to think how many thousands I've spent: there have been a couple of purchases of £2,500 each, and many of between £200 to £500.

No regrets however, and only one (fortunately cost free) disappointment.

I generally do a lot via eBay. I like the convenience and there's just everything you can think of. Shame they rip off sellers so badly.

Agreed - I'm registered only as a buyer and have no wish to be a seller.

There is just too much hassle IMO in being a seller: full and accurate descriptions required including multiple photographs; risk of unjustified buyer dissatisfaction and poor feedback, and the risk of damage during carriage.

Not that I have anything much to sell: camera gear is usually given to others, or if 'vintage/classic' I will take it to a specialist camera shop that deals with professional film-based cameras; and any audio gear will get put up for sale here in 'Private Exhibitions' (typically for a price half that of eBay).

I’ve got 3 amps laying around myself. The thing about being able to purchase used audio is that as time move forward, there is more and more great used gear on the market! Gear I never thought I’d be able to afford has suddenly become available used! And all the great gear I fawned over all those years ago is now old enough for me to afford, the temptation is great!

What we need is a house with about 6 rooms large enough for a system, and have a different kind of stereo in each of them. A giant solid state rig in one room, a single ended tube rig in the next, etc.

A very clever cooling system on this amp! I can’t say I’ve ever seen one like it. Are those copper tubes filled with oil? Or some such fluid to transfer the heat to the fins? They look like galvanized sheet metal heat sinks? Ingenious.
