Dan Dare Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 I love the way advertisers think that saying "Ex Massive Attack" or similar will increase the desirability of an item. "Ex (add band name here)" usually means "has been chucked in the back of vans/trucks, kicked around and generally caned by someone who wasn't bothered about the cost or repair/replacement". A bit like advertising a used car as "Ex Lewis Hamilton". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 Currently £400...I wonder what they'll sell for. I suppose that I'll have to wait 8 days like everybody else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could make them an offer they can't refuse. Then you can find out earlier What are they worth do you think? Rob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted October 15 Author Share Posted October 15 Seller seems quite up front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks likely they are hire stock, which tend to get hammered. Given that they are not massively outdated models, it could be that his tech' has advised "it'll cost more than they're worth to fix them. Best to stick them on the 'Bay and get what you can for them". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binky_bass Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 The seller has been about as upfront as you can be, though the big red flag for me is that he says the clipping is probably due to them needing a new 12ax7 valve... in a separate listing he's selling 9 of these valves, surely if you genuinely thought that valve was the issue, and you have spares of those valves, you'd just replace them? Equally, he might not know how to do that! Semi-tempting, but a definite minefield of potential problems! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
