thanks man,
Your lessons and wisdom from experience are much appreciated. What you are saying speaks volumes of logic. Spoken by a truth seeker who has learned the Way...
I, too have scored some great deals on evil bay, but I am very reserved, paranoid, and cautious about choosing sellers. As I stated before, the piece of gear was available at a slightly reduced price through other sellers, but the smell test woudn't flush...
I'm not in the mood to lose $1500 in this economy! I'm glad you didn't pay your *girlfriend* the $6k for your phantom Studer tape machine either....sometimes the temptation is strong to trust people, but that's another story and thread... sigh... we live in very cynical times.
Cheers and thanks for the free lessons!
Steve
