  1. Very! I know prices are up over years gone by, but I'd not go near those unless the asking price was in the 5-700 range and I was itching for a long winters project.
  2. Some of the nights festivities before I switched over to Radiohead and the Cure and the Pixies...old dog, no new tricks. Sorry 😔 pretty good start to the evening. @Allan Songer what say you?
  3. Somebody is working overtime the other is asleep at the wheel.
  4. Lava lamp just getting started in the music room. Hard bop Jazz to follow
  5. Congrats on the sale. I was truly hoping to make this work since 4 or 5 years back when you and I were kicking it around. I was sad to see you actually list them, sadder to not be the one picking them up. Congrats to FNG! Alas, I just got a set of AMTs to try in my Open Baffle K-Horn replacements. That will make 3 sets of mid drives that I can swap out in 10 minutes or less and with a press of the Xillica buttons new XOs for the proper midrange (Voxativ, Audio Nirvana and ESS AMTs). It's like having 3 pairs of speakers for the price of 5!😁 I was thinking I was done with box speakers but the Jubes with blue wrap would have be the ones to make me go back on my promise. Well I guess I'll give the La Scala's a go when I win them 😉
  6. Sold in 4 hours. Not quite a record for me, but close. Thanks Klipsch Forums!!! Any fans of the fantastic compilation disc that accompany Mojo Magazine? If you don't know about them there is a British music magazine that compiles CDs with various themes. It might be a single artist's work reimagined by different bands like in the case of The Wall Re-Built, or songs that inspired an artist like the Tom Waits disc "...a musical journey compiled and sequenced exclusively for Momo by Tom Waits". Every disc is unique and different and a great way to find new artists and version of favorites. I've got a bakers dozen (13) just waiting to expand your music horizons. $30 PayPal Friends and Family or Venmo no fees lands all 13 of these on your doorstep via Media Mail. That is less than $3 a CD delivered. More info on the entire Mojo discography at Discogs: https://www.discogs.com/label/29287-Mojo-Magazine?page=1
  7. They don't write 'em like that anymore....RIP Greg Kihn.
  8. 9 RVG CDs and 1 Connoisseur CD Series. Most are in really nice condition. All guaranteed to play 100%, the Bud Powel has a promotional sticker on the face of the CD and creased back artwork...but you want them for the brilliant 24bit remastering by Rudy Van Gelder anyway. If you need specifics on any titles let me know and I'll get more pix. Some jewel cases have shelf wear, price tag sticker goo, etc. I'm pretty good at packing (ask around) but you never know with USPS. As of now all the jewel cases have good, unbroken hinges, no shattered front/back, etc. $110 PayPal Friends and Family shipped to your door media mail and I'll throw two more in the box for free...see pix of Sara Vaughan Verve Master Edition and Late Might Piano Various Artists. Check prices of SOLD listings on ebay I bet you can't get these 10 for twice the price.
  9. Clearing out some space. Handy devices and worked great for switching between my VRDs, 2A3s and SS HT amps. Looks like $50-75 is the going rate on eBay for each piece. All 3 shipped to your door for $75 PP FF or...Zelle 😉
  10. What was thinly veiled, even you got it?
  11. I sooooo want to believe that every single one of your posts is actually sent by Jeff `The Dude' Leboswki sitting in a robe drinking a White Russian. Careful man, there's a beverage here.
  12. Apologies if my OP was not clear that the point of Friend and Family via PayPal holds zero weight. We were both fine with that. Actually he is fine with it I would not sell ANYTHING today via paypal without it being friends and family. If you have sold anything of substantial value on PayPal since around 2011 you realize that PayPal almost always sides with the buyer no matter what. And the scammers know this. I personally know a guy that is 100% legit, honest, salt of the earth, straight shooter, and sold a 3,000+ watch on a watch forum via PayPal Goods and Services. Buyer shows "unboxing" pix of a box of rocks "sent". After a long back and forth PayPal takes the $3K back from the legit seller. Watch and $$$ all in the hands of the buyer....well thief. I personally only deal with people I can build up a rapport with and convince them I'm above board. I don't really need to sell my stuff. I value the space these days more than the cash. If they won't meet in person and absolutely have to have my cast off junk, then they can live with my rules. Its just knee jerk reactions and hearsay these days for old farts to say "Never buy anything Friends and Family or get a certified check or postal money order only" that was so 2006. All the selling sites have sided with the buyers. legit, honest sellers inturn get screwed. That was my whole point in the first post that I need some Zelle expertise and not just "I've never used Zell but...." @Ceptorman gets it. This is the new world we are living in, like it or not. TikTok, Amazon same day delivery for "free". People want things now and if both sides are comfy, PP FF is fine. Just be smart about it on both sides. I just sold a $4,500 DAC to a guy in Canada. He paid PayPal Friends and family because he didn't use Venmo (instant no fees no protection). I shipped it to a 3rd party PMB in New York. He traveled across the border to pick it up. Here is is feedback on US Audiomart he left for me: "He did everything he said he would. An excellent seller highly recommend. He is honest and transparent. Definitely a plus to the HiFi world. If you are buying from him be assured your are in capable hands. I highly recommend him" So much for never buy with PP FF, no? I hardly post here anymore because of all the chaff and not much wheat. I get it we are all wasting time and like to poke fun and rib each other. Also, ultimately it is just an Internet forum. That's why this place used to be so much fun. Flip side when people had legit questions and were looking for non-audio advice, most (key word most) used to be helpful not spew out crap they had no idea about. There is a place and time for everything. I used be on fantastic Home Brewing forum where rule #1 was "don't be a d!ck". Pretty sage advice for all of life, I think.
  13. Care to elaborate? I'm looking for insight as a Zelle seller not a PP FF buyer. Perhaps the comprehension issue is more widespread.
  14. On that point we are in total agreement. Sending the item and then losing funds down the road is the real concern. If it is just an honest mistake, I want the deal done and behind me. I in no way want to screw the guy if he is legit. Everything I read from the reverse perspective of trying to get back a transaction after you send it, more or less says you are SOL.
  15. That would be the worst possible things I could do. Because Zelle payments are like leaving cash on a table and walking away. If by chance this is a sophisticated scam and not an honest mistake on the buyers end, I'd be sending the perpetrator my money with zero recourse. As I said in the OP we have a "reasonable" comfort level. But from my perspective there is no way I'd send him money via Zelle. I'd use Zelle for paying the kid that cut my lawn after he did it because you can't un-cut my lawn. I'd never use it to pay for stuff sold online to a guy I never met. Split a check with a person you had dinner with - yes. Pay for a car before it was in my driveway and title signed over, no way!
  16. Yet you felt compelled to offer $0.02 anyway. Love it, this is just like the old Klipsch Forums circa 2006. Thanks for taking the time. Didn't one of the Ts in ATT stand for telegraph? Is anyone here younger than I am....I'm almost 60. Yes, I'm being a jerk. Seriously, thanks for trying. I was pretty sure I'd get several posts like this. Its a rather unique set of circumstances and not a wealthy prince that needs my help.
  17. Hey all, I'll cut to the chase not BS. I'm looking for somebody that knows more than I do. I think I am dealing with a poor dumb b@st@rd, but if not he is the sharpest scammer ever. Working out a deal, and the guy is supposed to send me a PayPal friends and family payment. We have a reasonable comfort level and I'm on the receiving end so all good I figure. He sends me a $1 PPal payment and I think all is good. He is just being safe and making sure my info is correct. I say send the rest and I'll ship in the morning. I go to bed last night. I get up, no paypal payment. I send him a WTF, message saying don't jerk me around. He says he will send ASAP, got busy last night, etc. I end up getting a Zelle payment in full....but I never gave him my Zelle info. I say what's is up, he says he was having problems with PayPal. If you know anything about Zelle once it is gone its from you account is gone. You should only pay people you know well and trust like @Thaddeus Smith or @richieb, right guys? I look up a bunch of info online about Zelle specifically (not PayPal or Venmo that offer protection) and I call my bank. They more or less tell me the money is mine. Zelle customer support is non-existent. Still I'm skeptical. I don't see a way to "return", refuse, cancel a Zelle payment. Bank also tells me no way to cancel it back to the sender....like PayPal does. If I were to send him a payment back it would literally be like my putting cash on the table and walking away. I don't think that is an option. I truly think they guy is just a bit confused and dull (older gentleman based on what I have gathered) and I don't want to not send the item if this is all just a silly mistake on his part. But I did ask for PayPal and he agreed and he did the $1 right the first day. My spidey senses are up and I'm not feeling the love. Over zealous on my part or one hell of a long play for the scammer?
  18. Tie between: 1993 And 1992 Oh man, somebody stop me! Pasting all these video links I'm starting to feel like Randy
  19. Sold, you all, 'Yall, you guys missed out on a awesome DAC.
  20. Bump for price drop....$4,500.
