Potty about these speaker cabinets?

i have to agree. buying vinyl on fleabay is lucky dip at the best of times, i wouldn't shell out a grand for something i hadn't seen, and even then visually grading vinyl provides no absolutes.Indeed. Although, personally I wouldn't have entertained it without examining the condition of the records first. Zero feedback and a rather vague description of the condition (in inverted commas, no less) of:
...doesn't inspire much confidence. £1021 for a load of "Almost certainly very good" condition records, possibly as in 'there aren't too many scratches on them, considering their age!'is too much moolah to speculate with...
However, I hope that whoever has bought them is lucky!

Yup, Paul. The only way I'd have made a serious offer was if I'd lived in London and had visited the seller before the auction had ended (as many good sellers are willing to entertain), and inspected each album and found them all to my satisfaction...
*Then* I'd have done everything in my power to have won the auction!
