Sold as "fully working, tested", unfortunately, he forgot the "it's totally f*cked" bit!

Hmm.... Not really.

The OL kit sold secondhand would be worth £450 (seen the same OL kit sell for that), then you've a broken PT (cos it has no motor now) which might sell for £120 if with the lid etc.

Then you have fairly cosmetic carbon fibre top-plates (although I guess the OL motor now is mounted on the top plate on this?) and base board which aren't the same as Funk Firm ones I've seen (so I guess DIY) and a Funk Firm armboard which is £65 new, probabl £50 secondhand.

I reckon you could put it together for about £650.. so another £145 for not having to put it together yourself IF an OL'd PT 1 is what you want.

You could instead hunt around, bide your time and pick up an Anni for £800 if you're lucky.

Is it just me (being a grumpy old git) - or have the standards of written English being displayed on eBay (and elsewhere) fallen through the floor? Poor spelling, punctuation, capitalisation - all are at an all-time low. There's no excuse; it's just sheer laziness on the part of the writer - either now, or during their schooldays.

Take a look here. I rest my case, your honour.

Ok, I'll go and grump somewhere else . . . .

Edit: I'd like to hear the 11 inch tweeter.

There is an excuse - that it doesn't really matter in the real world. Of course for some people, it matters to them but doesn't effect the world much at all..

I'd say it's more down to increased exposure rather than it getting worse.

The internet is liberating - it's open to all! You can feel free and alive - no more of society 'shaming' people into conformity or into silence, be it in religous matters, sexuality or even spelling and grammar.

The internet is now in the homes of every type; rich/poor, well educated/less accademic, auditory/kinesthetic/visual thinkers, those with learning difficulties and also pedants..

At least that ups the entertainment quotient.

The slippery slope started when BBC announcers stopped wearing dinner jackets . . .

BTW I spotted your deliberate mistake . . . .

This sounds almost like a marketing exercise Nat!
