Great Buys On Ebay, Gumtree, Marketplace etc.

A couple of weeks ago I only just missed out on a pair of Yamaha NS-1000's that were local to me - that alone is a small miracle and will never happen again, considering where I live. And I was after a pair of these too for my Sansui set-up.

Guy who bought them (whom I've bought from before) talked the seller down to $500 (problem with one tweeter apparently), he's listed them on Gumtree for $1750... still needs a tweeter.

Original seller is now pissed off that he didn't sell them to me for $700, as am I of course...

$1750 is ridiculous, IMO. Maybe he's just trying it on in case someone is desperate.

Once l had 2 sets of the NS-1000M and 1 set of the NS-1000.

Listed a pair of M's on Ebay for $1500.00 and didn't have a single bite.

As the story goes l needed to move them so as soon as the auction ended l listed them as a 99c auction.

A week later l was sent $2550.00 from the new owner which l found bazaar!

Gotta love bidding wars :)

I just checked, and the speakers I came across are still for sale... I'll wait a few weeks and I might make an offer if they're still for sale.

Might be a while until a suitable replacement tweeter comes up (as one speaker needs one)... apparently the tweeters are prone to failure.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Eurovox-by-Perraux-Pre-and-Power-Amp-Classic-Vintage-/170959881580?pt=AU_Electronics_Audio_Amplifiers&hash=item27ce00c56c Are these good ones? Must be quite vintage though. The only info I could find on Google was that in 1987 Len Wallis sold the pre at $799; and power at $939 (according to SMH). Must be expensive gears back then :lol:

There is some tasty gear up for auction on Gray's right here.

Cabasse speakers included. (they wouldn't let me copy their image)

Found it on another site.

Just had a peep.

It finishes later today. The speakers above are currently at $1,809.

Lots of bargains there but who knows how they will end up.

If looking, don't forget to add Gray's 15% plus shipping.

It's barely moved with about 30 mins to go. Someone should buy it

Is there anyway (easy) to find out if these Audioquest cables are genuine ?

I asked the seller if he had the original packaging - answer, no he claims he moves around a lot and got rid of them?

I asked the seller "Do you have the original receipts - answer, no he claims he purchased them from ebay 2 years ago!

He assures me that the are genuine and is offering a full refund after I purchase if I suspect they are not the real deal...

any advice other than avoid them ?

I did a little googling about fake audioquest cables and came across this website....

I think it clearly demonstrates how much we get raped for cables. The most overpriced and overhyped audio products in existence.
