My Rega Ela Mk1s for £72.

Mark

Not convinced it was a bargain, but as they're hard to come by, my olive XPS for £1000....

Phil

Does anyone have, or heard the allmans live at filmore on mfsl, I am considering buying one - from ebay. They are not cheap, would like to know if its worth the extra . . .


Peter (no MFSL bargains yet)

£600 for a year old Hicap2. Sold it for more when the supercap landed a year or so later. Not too many Naim bargains on ebay nowadays tho'. Thon fishy plaice is better.

I bought a CD once for 1p + 50p postage.

Some of the silly prices people paid ME for my junk,sorry my collectable memorabilia etc.

Howard

The best bargains I have had have been spare parts for a 10 year laser printer, 20 year old kitchen equipment etc that enables the original item to keep working or to be enhanced so saving me having to buy a new one.

Local e-bay in The Netherlands brought me a near new pair of Neat Ultimatum MFS in Bircheye, MFS stands with leadshot included for 1300 pound. Made me a happy camper...

I'm not sure if it would be everyones idea of a bargain. A Keith Monks Mk2 record cleaning machine in as new condition for £667.

When eBay was in its infancy I 'won' the complete Beethoven edition on Deutsche Grammophon for £70. 76 mint LPs in 12 leather bound boxes. A bargain in my book!

Set of used once brake disc's for my motorbike (triumph speed four) £15 instead of around £250.

Also sold an arcam dac two years after I bought it for more than I paid!

Once bought one of those Russ Andrews mains purifier things for £90, did'nt do much, put it on eBay where someone mistook for the Super version and paid £225 - which was nice!

I more than doubled my money selling a Russ Andrews super purifier on ebay.

I sold Yes Talk for 41 quid!

I was delighted.

Can I turn this around - my best bargin was a sale I made on eBay.

My Ruark Epilouges (which I bought new in 1998 for £200) from a hifi shop in Leeds, I sold for £175 in 2007!!!

My description included the age of the speakers, so I was not "trying it on" or missleading.

AJA LP on MFSL for £13 -

Sounds a bargain to me - vinyl is said to be near mint.

9 quid Siemens brushes for my Bosch Washing Machine. Was going to give up and throw machine away (>>500 quid), but tried brushes first. Still going perfectly every day, 3 years later.

Hifi bargain; NAT101 for about 70 quid.

Dido - 'Life For Rent' - 1 penny.

You was robbed

Did they pay you a penny?

A base layer and two shelf layers of almost-new, pristine Natural Ash Isoblue for (I think) £120 - a saving of £255 on new price!

This is the only Isoblue I have ever seen on eBay - and it matched what I already had!
