    .....or, reputedly, if you are visiting Surrey, you could wedge them in your ears for safety.

    Well, at least he e-mailed me the true reason: he's hoping to get some money to get a s/h laptop and it didn't look like the bidding was going that well (I was the only bidder - but it had a few days left on it). He found a bloke who's willing to swap him a laptop for it. Personally, I think he wants a lot more for it than it's worth (about £250-300 IMO). May still be able to come to a deal if the laptop he's looking to swap for doesn't work out....

    Michael.

    sort of goes against the whole point of an auction site doesn't it? I didn't think it was allowed!

    It isn't allowed. If I felt like it I could complain to eBay and he'd be in trouble but I'm a nice guy...so I won't :)

    EDIT: IMO, if you're selling something on eBay and you need the money then set a reserve for what you're prepared to settle for. He'd set a reserve of £150 which I bid :rolleyes:

    Just got another e-mail from him and he's looking for £500-£600 for it :eek: Good luck to him if he finds a mug willing to pay that much, because it's definitely NOT woth that much!

    he he he...no, I'm not that desparate. I'll just wait until another one turns up. OTOH, I could always go for the $18,200 Burmester transport currently on Audiogon :eek: :D Who ever pays that much for a transport is, without question, a mug of the highest order. I know they make a difference, but never in a million years can they make $18K difference :rolleyes:
