Presumably you could have looked in the box before bidding in order to lower the risk about what you were bidding on? The item I was primarily interested in (ex-demo KEF R300) was approaching 50% of RRP (gross) the day I was considering going to look. I had some interest in one or two items of the non-hifi stuff like racking and benches but the time and cost didn't seem worthwhile. Exposure on the internet seems to have raised the prices achieved for this type of thing.there was a lot that went over board , the auctioneer said at the end it went nuts,, i bought lot 95 ,, Rotel Cd player , opened it up and no remote ,, but that is the chance you take,, to save money , if you going to keep it like i am , ,
new remote was £22.41p paid to B&W delivered today,, even though it will not get used that much ,,
