[pure sound]

It was up previously with an £800 BIN & no one bought it. Looks like it'll fetch more this way.

If I'd had the spare cash I would have.

 

[It Cost How Much!?!]

It's been up for sale quite a few times, sometimes it has sold, but then re-appears with the same seller.

 

[pure sound]

The seller is a long time Definitive Audio customer & has had some nice stuff over the years.

what are your thoughts on N60 stabilizer, is it really an essential item? seldom it appears for sale...

800 pounds looked like a great price to me, these days it's impossible to find 64fx without any extras under 1000 euros....

I've never tried one. It seems to have been a heavy tube which would really only make it usable on unsuspended decks (often Micro's) but quite what it did that the normal locknut couldn't I don't know.

It went for 820 pounds. I reckon someone got a bargain there...

Not true - I had trouble selling one last year for £700 odd, great condition. Think I got £650 for it. Then the buyer sold it on eBay 6 months later, got the same.

Ok, impossible to FIND one where the seller is asking for less than €1000 perhaps but that's because the only ones you see are the ones that don't sell for ages and so register in Google's search for longer etc etc.

eBay's an odd world..

The seller of this one spent about a month at least selling this, gets no interest that I saw at £850 accepting offers, only one offer of £750 second time around which they reject. Then as an auction gets lots of interest and sells at £820..

On both sides, was it not worth accepting £750 for your money a month early and was it not worth that £30 extra to save the stress and uncertaintly of bidding? Psychology is a funny thing.

well let's see how the sale goes. i had a brief look into the bids - the winner apparently placed his bid on the second day of the auction....

btw - there were a couple of successful auctions for this arm recently, ending at between $1,100 and $1,350

Some people just don't know how best to bid.. bidding your max 2 days into the auction is a sure way to pay a higher price. Winning bidder appears to be from Germany (or has been bidding and winning most recently in German catagories). I'd say the sale will go through this time.

So those other listings have been ending around £670 - £790 mark. More what I would expect. I guess the stabiliser has value too though.

maybe there's a demand in germany - FR64fx went for 1525 euros there in august
