Used Deals Thread

Yep, this one pegs high on the "fishy-o-meter" for me.

Deals too good to be true often are, especially from sellers with stagnant accounts.

And the "text/call first to confirm" is a clear redlight in my experience.

Run away, far away...

Cheers

Marked 512-571-3106 as Unsafe Caller

I googled the number that you are supposed to call. I am not familiar with this callername.com site. It just came up in the search.

Edit: This one is more explicit:

Sickwit it! That is awesome that you found that out @Dino . Now I know to be more careful myself!!!

If anyone is looking for a transport for the Mojo or such there's a used AK120 for sale on fleabay that looks to be a pretty good deal:

This is still kinda one of my dream amp but importing is a no-no.

 

Did anyone here buy it?

 

Agreed. I was all set to ask for one to be built for 220V when the UK voted for brexit and fucked the pound, which suddenly made the price a lot harder to rationalise to myself.

 

He lowered it to $900, cheapest it has ever been sold at. This was the reference amp Tyll used for a long time as well.

 

That's a solid deal. If I didn't already have my Cavalli Liquid Gold I might jump on the Taurus for $900. Cheers

I wish I could implement myself. Morten (Tortuga) is a great person as well!

 

Apex Arête with Volcano PS on HF for $850 total from a reputable seller. Someone should jump on this, as it's easily the best price I've seen for this amp.
