minor incident

Selling off my gear and collection (the collection's already gone) for bills, etc.

Selling my Music Hall mmf 5.1 turntable. It's the piano black finish and has the screw-down record clamp and the acrylic platter upgrade. Also includes a Pro-Ject Speed Box S to switch between 45 and 33rpm, and a simple BBE phono preamp. Plays well, sounds fantastic. No original box. $500 for everything and I'll cover the shipping. I think that seems fair, considering the $250ish worth of upgrades an accessories, but I'm open to offers. Not interested in any trades, though. Paypal, please.

I'd probably buy it at $90 if it included all the original artwork, but the redesigned sleeves just don't do anything for me. I'd say like $70 is about the most I'd be willing to part with for it, and I'm in no hurry to do that.

Haha, that's rad. About half the time I run into my mail carrier down the block when I'm on the morning dog walk and he just gives me my stuff there. And he knows not to ring the doorbell when he drops packages off because my dog flips out at the sound of the doorbell.

I'm keeping an eye on it and waffling, but I'm afraid it's right at my absolute high end right now, even with a few hours left, so I'm almost positive I won't be winning it. =[

Best Friends is great. I've raised money for them quite a few times in the last couple years. My bid on the box set topped out around $700, so I'll go throw a few bucks at BFAS instead.

Uh... what? That's the same pressing that I have, and I paid like $35 for it a few years ago.

I figure it was, but it's still a $30 premium over the (still available) set directly from Clearview.

Well, it didn't take long for box sets to appear on Ebay.

That's good to hear. You overcame your hockey differences and everything.

Look guys, if neither party insures it, you're not getting money from the post office. That said, a gentlemanly thing to do is to split the loss, especially since... A) The buyer was willing to put so much trust in the deal to send the payment as a gift. And It doesn't sound like the seller OFFERED insurance that the buyer turned down specifically. It's up to you guys to decide how to resolve it, but maybe both of you take this as a reminder to ALWAYS insure packages that are worth more than an hour's pay for you. As a buyer OR a seller.

Holllllllly shit, that is skeevy.

Got my copy ordered. SO EXCITED for this.

I gotta admit, I'm almost more jazzed for the packaging than the actual music. I mean, I've got all these mp3s, and only have like 3 of them on vinyl, so it'll be nice to have the rest on vinyl, but the work that went into the package design just sounds goddamn fantastic. Only like 9 hours to go!
