Bargains on ebay?

[Nick_G]

Did anyone on here buy it? It only went for 100 Euros which is a superb bargain for a pristine T-2! I've seen them go for 2-3 times that price.

Scrub that it doesn't finish until tomorrow!

I could have sworn that said the 28th...

Well the shipping says "Kein Versand nach Großbritannien" which means "No postage to UK" but I have often found that if you ask the seller nicely they will oblige.

The seller and the listing text don't state any objection to Great Britain - I'd suggest that it is Ebay stating Great Britain as not in the EU, probably on one hand for postage cost differences and on the other probably because they don't want us Brits buying from Ebay sites where PayPal isn't enforceable - They don't have to accept it in Germany for example and this seller doesn't.

Strange lot 'collectors'. Who the hell would pay for something just because it is a one off. Even if Pollock himself had done it, it would be overpriced. Its just a bit of hi-fi!!

Worse than that, it's a one-off made by the seller!

The youtube video linked to shows how easily it was made. No official Bang and Olufson youtube channel would contain only two videos that just happen to relate to the items this seller is selling, nor would they call the channel "Beo Olufson" when they can use their full name with 'official channel' after it.

The laser "J Pollock" engraving gives it away too - very shoddy and probably something they regret doing cos it looks shite. It's standard security tagging isn't it?

I might start spray painting all sorts of hifi in different, easy to replicate art styles and try to subconsciously convince people they are official rare limited editions..

I wouldn't be surprised if this was one of David Hart's selling accounts haha..

"Not just ebay rare but REALLY RARE!" LoL !

Or "I can't find anything on a quick Google Search, so they must be RARE!!" which, sadly = Ebay Rare. And I'm sure I've seen those badges before..

The badges look nice though. However, a little think it ended up being Yahoo search actually, says that Sigma Audio and Design re-badge some Tensai/Akai TM-2250 units with their own fancy fronts and sold them as "The Laboratory Amplifier" series.. So might say much for these either...

Sad, isn't it! States ''Can see the coil moving'' Ha ha!

I questioned him on this and suddenly he actually consulted an expert and the expert said is was a MC!!! I wrote back and told him that his expert didn't know what he was talking about but strangely, he hasn't replied further

Neat little valve rectified phono amp for £72. Longish thread on AudioKarma for tweakinging it. Ordered one.

No valves or IF cans - but the seller's still enthusiastic.

Not surprised he hasn't answered. Why are people so thick-headed, greedy and just plain stupid. Pathetic!
