:shock:



The shipping cost isn't appearing for some reason, but he's quoting £280 (approx. $456).

Valiant, but I feel like they must just be constantly spamming ebay with multiple fake/new accounts or wouldn't ebay have blocked them by now?

FWIW I flag the listings as miscategorized for all the people selling printed out pdfs of manuals. Depending on my mood of course. And if they're the real-life manuals of vintage equipment it's one thing, but it irritates the heck out of me to see pdf reprints of manuals that are freely available online.

$300 shipping for a rack unit? Might be a good price if they're willing to charge the $50 or so that it actually should be.

Ridiculous price or good deal? still more than I'm going to pay (ever), but $600 below previous selling price for new.
