The 'look at what I did today' thread

If you want to be really sneaky then technically you shouldn't even be 'watching' the item as that informs people of your interest. Just keep an eye on it manually, knowing when it ends.

Acoustic Solutions! There's a blast from the past.
Pointless trivia - when we all worked at Richer Sounds, it was my mate who came up with the name. I think he got his standard flat rate tenner for a suggestion for the privilege

Its a misslist mate. they are made by A.S.S. (Acoustic sound systems) from the spectra range. Very high end Pro audio kit going back 35 years or more. Not the dubious home electronics producer.

i used to have a 25k rig made up of their MT range. drokking awesome sounds.

I make loads from buying mislists and then relisting them correctly

These 'could' be worth £400 if sold correctly but I'm going to punt at £160 and hope. The drivers should fetch that alone when I break them. If I get these they might also end up as part of the house rig for the summer. I miss 18'' bass in my life.

Funny, I thought they looked a bit too good to be a Richer sounds home brand...even in their current state!

you betchya. Tony's way of looking at speaker production was more wood is good. How he puts a 45 degree curve into 25mm marine ply I dont know but when one of his cabs falls on you from the back of the van you KNOW ABOUT IT.

cracked a rib one time. didnt dance much that party

Why the pennies?

Ah, well, we all have to be noobs at something some times.

you would not believe how many auctions i have won on those pennies. People are preprogrammed to think in whole numbers and they normally bid in the same way. We all have an idea of what something is worth, generally, and so those extra pennies on top can often be the difference. You know you have a hopping mad person down the line somewhere who just lost to 43p or something

Its not so much ebay noobs i mean mate. Its noobs to the field of soundsystem and audio who get into pointless bidding wars on items that should be mine. if everyone could hold their balls till the right time it would all go alot smoother.

LLL is right those pennies make the difference

I always bid stupid amounts something like £16.78 or £101.98 etc...
