    It must be the current political state of affairs, but asking prices and selling prices on eBay are definitely down.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Just added it to my 'watch list', to see what the winning bid will be. £7,500? Whatever, it could be a record!

    Could just as well read: 'Car for sale. Has an engine and wheels. I was using this car to drive about in.'

    I despair at the levels of orthographic prowess displayed in these adverts, particularly when expecting people to shell out many thousands of pounds on one of the most grossly overrated speakers of all time!

    I suspect that most purchasers of these speakers would not know what 'orthographic' means, nor would care. It doesn't seem to have affected the ludicrous bids being offered.
