Croft 25R. Tisbury Passive Pre, Phono Stages + More

[Audio Al]

I thought it was the accepted norm that mains leads are not included with equipment unless stated. I certainly don't usually include a lead when selling unless a buyer needs it. Mains plugs have a habit of damaging casework.

I sold my 25R without the mains plug to avoid any damage , They must cost all of £5 max ?

My wife has pointed out that there is something very wrong with my buy:sell ratio so here goes...

I think I've read all the rules and there isn't a minimum post count to sell here? If there is, please punish me / remove the post.

First up is an extremely clean Croft 25R including Phono stage. It's definitely mint condition. Nothing wrong with it, sounds superb but I'm using integrated amps all round at the mo. Glenn fitted Tocos Cosmos volume pots for me which are much nicer than stock. Even if you can't hear the difference, the action feels more expensive.

I've got the original box too. £850 Posted.

I'm going to be posting up some valves soon, including Mullards and GE 5751s, let me know if you're interested in any to go with the Croft. Also going to sell my Series 7 after it's been serviced.







Hi Alfie,
Any news about the croft 25r that you sold me without mains plug?
Still waiting for your refund for the plug...
Cheers
George

Was it listed as included in the sale?

I never send a mains plug when I sell gear because I'm such a nice seller. I've received too many items with scratches to the case to want to risk the buyer receivng a damaged item. No matter how well they're packed plugs seem to find a way to shift and rotate so that the prongs are pressed against the case. I'll have a look on eBay for a cheap one for you.

There was no indication that it would arrive without one.
It should be mentioned.
Without it the 25r is simply not functional.
Does Glenn send his equipment also without mains?
He uses the same box right?
So he is sending damaged goods?
No...
So, you ll have to find a way to make your sale right.
I believe it is the right and fair thing to do.
I believe I should expect a mains cable or a refund.
Since as you say it's cheap, that shouldn't be a problem for you.

I read with disbelieve.

Well it looks like a minor misunderstanding or miscommunication perhaps. Nothing to get excited about, I'm sure a sensible resolution shouldn't be too hard to achieve.

I'm not the seller I'm just trying to explain the convention with trades between forum members (tbh I think opinion is split as I've received them before, with damaged equipment in about 1 in 3 cases).

The buyer appears to be in Greece so a UK mains plug would not work without an adaptor anyway.
