Bargains on ebay?

[John]

When I was in band I wanted us to open up with Stingray intro theme and do a HM cover of Everybody wants to be a cat but got out voted Lol

[Rare Bird]

Some sellers don't half wind me up with pure crap excuses they come out with, some examples below from just this month

Q: Are there any marks at all on the facia please?

A: Well considering it's age i'd say it's a nice example! (Maybe so, but i still want an honest answer to the question i asked)

A: Taking into account it's over 40 years of age i'd say it's been well looked after! (I hope so now please a straight answer)

A: If you want new i sugest you go buy new! (Er dummy it's a specific model that's not been in production for 40 years, besides i wouldnt be dead buying any crap produced these days)

A: Are you being serious? (Painfully so, again is there any marks on the faica please?)

A: I think that the odd mark here & there is to be expected considering it's age don't you? (No not really, if it's been looked after)

I very rarely get a straight answer from them, you ask for high res shot through E-Mail they always make excuse. I'm sorry but i do not see the logic in any of the answers i get, i have amps this age that are in show room condition, i understand that some items maybe 2nd or 3rd hand users & maybe do have marks on them but it's no excuse for excuses, the items are either got scratches/marks or they havent..

Yeah that was a double-take moment £7.5K for an old Pioneer Receiver? - its not even mint by his own admission and who cares if it has the frikkin heat sink covers. La La land.

Looks nice I'd offer £120 and that's generous.

'SX198' was a very good reciever back in '78, expensive aswell, todays equivillent of say around £3600.00!..not my cuppa tho all the same

ahhhhhh it comes with a spare set of original capacitors, but he reckons you won't need to use them for another 10 to 15 years, that'll explain the asking price then

What it is - he's seen that Princes Bea hat go for £80K and thought 'I'll have a slice of that action' - now if it was Princess Diana's old Pioneer that she used to listen to Duran Duran on then maybe that would be a more realistic price
