FS: Verite, Eikon Burl, Convert 2, Aficionado (Yay medical bills : ( )

This is so incredibly hard to do as all of these pieces of gear have brought me joy time and time again. Unfortunately, recent medical bills necessitate the sale of most of my audio gear. I'll do my best to ship in a timely manner but a broken foot and no car means traveling is difficult. Please bare with me.

Friends/Contributors for the time being, all prices include shipping/PayPal fees (gift appreciated) to CONUS.

Sorry to hear your misfortune.

All great prices.
Good luck for the sale!

 

That sucks man.

Hope the gear goes to great new homes and that you come back with something just as enjoyable in due time!

 

Hate reading these stories. I hope everything finds a good home

 

Sorry to hear about your medical issues @cskippy, and sorry it has led to selling your collection. I hope you're ok, and I hope the items sell fast for you. Good luck.

 

So sorry @cskippy ...this has to hurt as much as the bills.
I hope you can build another kick ass system soon.

 

Get well soon, mate. GLWS.

 

PM'd.
It's quite painful for me to read this, since your impressions have led to basically all my gear purchases. I hope it all works out.

 

Sorry about hear that, good luck and hope you recover soon.

 

Get well soon man!

 

I hate this thread.

Best wishes to you, brother.

 

I've read many of your posts. It's clear how much you enjoyed this gear & distressing you have to sell it.

Hope it's just a temporary fork in the road...

 

Get well soon man, and I hope the medical bills work out ok. I had something similar last year, and had to liquidate my gear. You will be able to build back up again in the future, if you choose that option. Best of luck with everything man.

 

Fivre 2A3, Bendix, and Mullard sold to @Overkill Red

 

@cskippy This makes me sad. You've found your personal preference matches and now life deals you a shitty hand. I hope you heal quickly and your fortune makes a turn for the better; much better.

 

Very sorry to hear this, @cskippy. Nobody should be forced to gut their hobby to pay for medical bills. Here’s hoping your luck turns around soon.

 

Get well soon and good luck with the sales. Do you have health insurance?

 

I'm sorry. Get well soon! Here's a friendly bump hoping these bad boys can find a good home quickly.

 

Hope everything turns out for the best @cskippy! If I hadn't just bought the loaner tour DM C2 I would have taken this one off of your hands. Best wishes
