Epic Gumtree Winnage.

[KevTM]

I spotted some Quad 21L's on Gumtree for £200 ono. I thought, "hmm, that'll do nicely chappie". Arranged to go see them, they're only five minutes up the road.

Turns out they're 22L's and since I didn't haggle with the guy he gave me some Wireworld Oasis 5 cable worth £230 roughly..

Gumtree Win yet again!


(Just so excited I had to share)

In English please.

Basically I got a much better deal than I was expecting.

Hey, not my fault if you don't know a quality brand when you see one

Being part deaf, speakers all sound the same to me but, there is a difference apparently..

I thought, looking at the title, an acceptable female specimen had finally replied to his ad in the dating section.

Then I read the innards and thought: "Bike boots/trousers/or something? Won't 22L's be to big if you're a 21L?"

I was looking for tips for my own ad...

I heard about that scam on Radio 2. Some of the folk that comment on that show are a bit dim... They were blaming it on the internet in general and gumtree in particular which is asinine. You could do exactly the same scam via the newspaper or an ad in the local shop.

The self-righteous cocks were also accusing the people who answered the ad's as being greedy and dim. The ad's were pretty normal, the cars were priced reasonably, (why would scammers deliberately lose money by advertising a car for less than it was worth, folk are going to look at it anyway?)

That said, turning up with an envelope stuffed with cash is a bit fool-hardy, I've done it twice, admittedly once on my own but the second time I took a brawny friend (the seller was in Glasgow so... )

I have a set of Quad power / pre amps that would be a great match for them
been using quad gear for years and you can't beat them for sound quality

^ Yup Quad gear has always been teasing me from the background. Always had B&W, Arcam and some of the cheaper Linn products. I gave it all up for a headphone set up so I'm getting back into it again. Need a new preamp & some monoblocks and a CD player now

Just got lost in Ca Ira there, sounding awesome!

I suppose the horn on my grammaphone has become obsolete?

I'm sure you can find a use for it?

[KevTM]

Good idea. We could make (sweet) music with it, afterall.

Shouldn't this be in the geek zone?
