Sign of the times?

Has it really come to this? I know the recession is hitting, but I saw what seemed like a mint 552 preamp go for £2900 on E-bay yesterday. When I think how much I paid for mine, it makes me weep (although I don't regret a penny of it)

Or was it a scam... the guy started at £1000 and wouldn't allow personal collection or anything other than Paypal. Also, he diodn't seem to know anything about it... other than quoting Naim's literature.

Either the buyer has got an absolute bargain... or he's lost three grand...

How many still want something for nothing?

Greed is the evil.

Exactly. It's all back to there being one born every minute. No sympathy for people who think they're getting something for nothing and then get stiffed.
