Very nice - did it go above your self-imposed maximum.

Actually, just did a quick search on ebay shows someone's about to (in the next 2 hours) pick up a rather tasty 1.5 year old Bryston 9BST for £1600. Very nice - if I had £1650 spare I'd be in there.

yes could've bid a silly amount and probably secured it, but that would've put me at my overdraft limit, and the amp may be more trouble than its worth replacing those big expensive valves.

Hold on...

Payment by bank transfer only. Seller with 0 feedback. Private Auction.

I'm not convinced that I'd have felt comfortable laying down £2k on that basis....

 

[Lt Cdr Data]

very true, I would have insited I paid and collected in person, as its only a 2 hr drive

 

[Robbo]

but I though you only just bought the MF

 

[Lt Cdr Data]

well if something like that comes up for that price

I mailed him at the start of the auction to ask about cash on collection and....



....Nothing. I heard zilch from him. Got me really spooked and I didn't touch the auction. Caveat Emptor and all that.
