Your greatest ebay wins

Not from Ebay, but I recently got a used VHT Deliverance 60 head for $589 and a NiB pair of Dynaudio BM5a monitors for $530*.


(Well, $730 really, but I also got $200 trade-in on some gear I haven't used in forever, so I only counts teh cash out of pocket on the day. :lol:)
 
Yeah, and if we're not talking just ebay, I'd say the tale of my $480 Recto cab picked up in person from Richard Z of Rammstein would qualify :D But there have still been some pretty epic deals listed in this thread already, I'm impressed (thought I was the only one with the deal-huntin' skillz :D)

:O

That's awesomes!
 
Bought them both pretty far apart (and have since sold the head), but Line 6 HD147 for $480 shipped, and the Mesa Slant 2x12 (with V30s) for $120 w/ local pickup :cool:

(pic is from after I converted it to having rear-mounted speakers, took a little routing, but nothing too serious)


Mm yeah, always loved the way those amps looked. Don't sound as good as they look though.
 
Ebay, RG 7620 mint w/case $390AUS!
Non Ebay, Bought a Peavey rockmaster for $130AUS (knocked em down from $165AUS). It was sitting on a marshall cab loaded with gt12 75s, and when I handed over the cash, the shop assistant asked if I needed a hand with the cab! And I obliged "YES!". To my amazement, he wheeled it out the front where I had already rang a mate with a ute to come and grab it for me. 1 marshall cab and a Peavey rockmaster all for $130AUS is a bargain. Sold the cab 2 weeks later for $800AUS. One tidy profit!:lol:

Got it from Cash Converters in Ballarat. Sold it at the Music Swop (yes swop) shop in Carlton Melbourne.

Another true story:
I was in Allans music Ballarat, talking to some guy from Geelong, and he ordered an OLP bass (a copy of the Musicman Stingray), saying that he liked the playability of the $329AUS OLP over the Musicman Stingray! (I thought, whatever floats ya boat), and he payed via credit card and they went out the back to fetch it. They came back with the bass in the box, gave him the paperwork and handed it over to him. Now me being a nice cunt and all that, asked if I could have a look at it and joked around that he better have a look at it in case it was the wrong colour! (There have been a few fuck ups at Allans in Ballarat, similar to this). Well fuck me, when he took it out of the box, I noticed straight away it was the colour he was after (black), but it wasnt the OLP he was after, it was the MUSICMAN STINGRAY! Now we are near the exit and the deal had been done, and I said "WOW DUDE!, Thats a FUCKING MUSICMAN". (Had the tag price on it at $3299AUS!). To which he replied "Oh damn, thats not what I ordered. Thanks for asking me to open it", and with that returned to the counter to tell them of their fuck up! (Meanwhile, I am picking my jaw up off the ground!).
I go to the counter to see whats gonna happen, he informs the assistant of what has happened, (I am still facepalming myself at this point) and all those 2 cunts at Allans could muster up was "someones gonna get their arse kicked for this!", no thankyou, just a "We'll order you your OLP, sorry about the mix up, should be here within 2 weeks", no discount, NOTHING!
That is the freakiest purchase I have witnessed, and it made my belief stronger that people from Geelong are really drug fucked after all! :lol:
