Many thanks to
Anopax , pleasure to deal with you

Picked up a Marantz CD5400 from me. Mrs Cookie made light work of the goodie bag

I have now seen an apple with wings in the flesh, and added another item to my Amazon basket.
Isaac Sibson - Bought FFRC off him. Superb. and custom build too. Sold Tara Labs and Olsen power strip. Quick payment, no hassle. He's pretty handy with a camera too.
Michaelab - bought DAC20 off him. He brought it all the way from Portugal to my doorstep. Splendid. Top gent. Likes Grolsh (?spl). Does drive a beemer though.
Wadia Meister The guvner. bought power cables, i/c's and stuff. As smooth as a Wadia descending a jelly mountain. Excellent host too, and introduced me to a nice variety of crackers.
Timpy sold him a Lynwood Power supply. He was a gentleman. I was not so good.

I got my facts wrong and charged him too much. Apologies. Owns lots of speakers.
sideshowbob bought a Pioneer tuner off me. Very good, cash up front, no problems. Also good for a bit of perspiration on the brain. Nice library also...and gets cookies in special. Why do you have to live in London
Lilolee Bought and sold so much i can't remember. Champion. Always obliging. Travelled about a little to concerts and bakeoffs. He has more hifi equipment in his car, than most do in their house. Unfortunately he likes jazz, otherwise quite superb.
penance gave me some free cables. excellent. unfortunately i went and 'did a penance' not long after his own mishap. That bollox damn Pioneer. I should have listened to Robbo....
Robbo - haven't bought anything (can't remember) - his rig is a bit good now. very obliging with pizza and drink though. Doesn't like a nasty treble. He does some chemistry type stuff. Nice bloke
GrahamN - sold him a 'couple' of mags. Who more to appreciate them than the 'Boss' of concert going himself. Rings bells on the quiet. Enjoys jumping from heights. Listens to music louder than anyone (hehe), and can get a NAD c370 to steam at 3 o'clock on the dial effortlessly. I now know i like baroque. Top guy, makes nice nibbles. Also the jammiest bugger ever, with some ridiculous deal on a ginormous amp thingy.
dev sold mags, rack and cable. nice guy when we met, but also drives a beemer.
Carpchasser super friendly bloke, except when he is by the lake. Has a smelly freezer and must buy some more cd's. cheers Iain.
Batfink only had the pleasure of meeting once - didn't buy or sell, but he cost me £10 as the missus liked one of the cd's that he brought round.
Julian2002 never traded, but deserves a mention for the sheer size of vehicle which he drives. Would come to your bake, but i'm working.
Goomer Beyerdynamic DT990 from me. Super swift deal. Cash in my bank account - no problems. Many thanks
PBirkett Sold me some cans. Nice guy. Likes beer. Drives an old ladies car though. Must stop buying more equipment!!! ATB mate
SimonConnell The sale that never was. We had some confusion regarding the hand over. In the end it never got rearranged. Mutual breakdown in communication. No gold star. This guy has some nice vintage gear.
Sid and Coke sold him some Rothwell Attenuators. Smooth transaction without hassle. Also father to some fantastic step by step DIY instruction, which is the best i have seen.
Dean Fernando Bough some cables off him. No problems V.good. He has shed loads of PS2 games IIRC.
Technobear Sold me some cables. Very swift and hassle free. This guy has no TV!! Well done - if only i could convince the wife.
Lordsummit Sold him a Rotel RCD991. Very good indeed. Many thanks. Was one of the last remaining commited members of the tape round circle.
There are others which my poor memory cannot serve me with at the moment, and many others from various fora and so forth. If you give me a kick i'll post up. Thanks to each and every one of you. Some have let this cookie into your homes, and i have had the pleasure of meeting many pleasent and interesting characters. I won't be trading with you again, and am now completely hifi-less, but hope to keep in toucch with some of you, and i might pop my head up in the chat/music forums occasionally.
ATB
cheers
