    Hi Adam,

    If the winning bidder was someone on here then you have point. If not, then I think you might be overestimating the influence a relatively small forum like AoS is having on the price of a equipment on an auction site that is known worldwide!
    Point taken. However, the fact is our Google rankings are significant, to the extent that anything mentioned on AoS almost instantly appears on search engines, and thus could potentially affect the outcome of auctions on eBay prior to their completion.

    Marco.

    With respect to ebay though, the potential buyer would either have had to look at the item on ebay and then did some digging on the net to find us, or the potential buyer would be looking for THAT item in particular so would know what it's worth. Only people who come to our forum and read the bargains on ebay section would be aware of potential gems, in fact most posts say somthing like " look at this" and then give the link to the ebay item, this type of post wouldn't be searchable on google, so really all we are promoting is bidding against each other.

    Got very tempted by this, mostly nostalgia as it was the first turntable I ever owned and local to me.... but I wasn't going to pay that much

    Pioneer PL12D Turntable with Shure M75ED Cartridge

    Very nice example though.

    i was wondering the same thing plus the AOS doesn't seem to have had an adverse effect
    on the price either, bit of a storm in a tea cup
