aasza Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) I did my good deed for the day.. A guy listed on Gumtree FOR FREE to give away a Garrard 301 with SME 3009 Arm!!!! I promptly rang him and told him he was potentially throwing away a couple of grand or more... He was blown away and very thankful to me for educating him on what he thought was some old piece of junk. I Told him to research the TT and its value on hifishark, eBay etc. Sorry flippers....

Nice one. You should tell him to check out the last one sold on eBay. The turntable without arm went for $2025 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remain constantly amazed that people clearly have the ability to post an item on Gumtree/Ebay/whatever, which by definition requires use of the Interwebs, and yet do NOT seem to have the ability to do a 10 second search for the item on Google to suss out what they've got! I must admit, I become less and less forgiving about this as time goes by, as I am starting to figure that the ability to do a bit of homework is now SO easy for pretty much ANY ITEM ON THE PLANET, that it's their loss..... I'll make exceptions though - when (like this one) they are WAY off, and when a charity is involved...... I'll get down off my soapbox now and have a cup of tea..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexie Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Good deed for that seller, not so good deed for the lucky purchaser. I think of an asking price as an asking price 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t_mike Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I recently bought a collection of jazz records. I paid the guy 3 times his asking price and I still think I got a good deal. My previous collection buy I did much the same on a deceased estate. Being unaware doesn't make them fools, sometimes they just have so much on their plate. In both cases it would have been absolutely heartless to take money from the elderly when they are in a precarious state of mind. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a well rounded and surprisingly revealing speaker. They do have surprising bass present, natural mids and perhaps leaning in just a hair heavily in upper treble. Awesome speakers overall made with attention to detail and punch way above their price bracket. Must be kept away from a wall by about 20cm.
