    You're in the same boat as me Andr'e A year or so ago i won an auction for a couple of Krell KAS2 monoblocks & i'd already got the ok from a mate to drive me down just south of London to pick them up at a price

    Tested the first amp after unboxing it & all's well, tested the second & it went in protection mode

    Still had to pay my friend the cost of the journey & his time

    Hi Mark

    Well i've always said some people sell stuff for a reason but it's a chance you have to take.You can guarenteed everything i fancy is the other side of the country

    The amount of stuff i bought thats arrived smashed due to poor packing is Beggars belief.I mean how easy is it but to use an oversized box, pack the unit in a way that it's technically suspended in free space within the packing, if the unit gets hit the free space takes it & not the unit.

    Indeed, i think i must have been lucky as i have never received anything broken in nearly 1200 buys on ebay. I agree with the above entirely

    I've been very lucky in that respect i suppose, all the stuff i've gotten over the years from ebay has been packed realy well, even the stuff that was supposed to be collection only, my last set of wharfedales for instance, i won them for £6 or £7 they cost £12 p&p and i shit you not, the seller packed them like they were the crown jewels or something, shredded paper bubble wrap the whole nine yards, and it must have taken him some time to do it too.

    No worries Gary just venting off really at my amazment with couldnt care less auction sellers. The top plates on those stands were a bit too big ..I'm gonna be getting cracking with restoring these Mordaunt Short 'Paegant 2's soon anyway so will be persuing my hunt for some original stands fer em..
