BEST SWAG IN A DECADE!! LOFT OF DREAMS TO BE EMPTIED.
Have you ANY idea just how product has gently accumulated in my loft? NOBODY admits that generally, once you have sent a thing out of the door to a reviewer, it is normally written off as it leaves. If it comes back or gets used in a demo afterwards, then the companies feel they are quids in.
That said, the best outfits run a tight ship. JVC had a shock some years back when they realised they had a hundred grand’s worth of stock out on ‘˜loan’ across TV, Audio, Car So the big Japanese companies tend to have a sensible returns process.
But all relationships with corporates ebb and flow. I have been taken to Chatsworth and other locations with Sony to follow a rally they had sponsored a car in, back in the Nineties. Posh hotels, rally jacket to keep, the works. Later, I was even sponsored with video equipment and allowed to brag about it for a while. Then, the austerity changes came and they went quiet but I have some STONKING headunits of theirs. Just sleeping.
I have an amp or two.
At least three subwoofers from big, cheap and efficient, to effing hench duty. I even have some component speakers.
There is stuff that goes back to the distributorsmost all of it. In fact it has been one of my Big Differences to suppliers that I would never thieve their equipment and that it remains theirs throughout. It is delicious reverse psychology and thus sometimes you are told to simply let it go quietly.
So, I cannot sell this stuff for personal profit and look myself in the eye.
Then, there were a few items I never installed and if you know me and my taste, plus if you feel anything for posh car audio and its history, you may get Goosebumps.
I HAVE AN UNINSTALLED MINT-IN-THE-BOX ALPINE F#1 STATUS CDA-7990 HEAD UNIT. Nil road hours – just some test bench stuff briefly on an Optima Yellowtop before full OCD ‘˜Reviewer Repack’. I saw one today for £800 used on Ebay. Mine MUST be worth a Grand GBP?
NOT Mine ^. mine is posher..
I also have a set of Focal components nice mids ..posh passives.. AND SEVEN HUNDRED POUNDS EACH, INDIVIDUALLY TESTED BERYLLIUM AUDIOM TLR TWEETERS – EACH IN WOODEN BOX WITH A CERTIFICATE.
Again, not my ones.. pics will be taken.
You will have to bid against one another. But the winner will not be paying me but rather paying into THIS link in the Pounds Sterling equivalent ROUNDED UP to the nearest five US Dollars.
I will run the auctions by posts on our Facebook page. Once declared the winner, you will be told and will have 12 hours to pay the amount in Dollars. It DOES mean you do have to be a FB user.
I will ship at MY cost, in the UK, at yours if it’s over the waters.
Here’s why.
Edited from the story below: ‘If you ever felt the bass in a car, if you ever heard a Bass track, the chances are, you were moved by THE BASS MEKANIK. He is a man, he is my friend and he is going to lose his sight without surgery. I know times are always tight but please help if you can… He uses computer screens to manipulate the music. Don’t let glaucoma stop the bass’
The stuff is in the loft and I need a photo session up there to start this. Thing is, just a few old advertisers may go.. ‘OH I had all but forgotten that’ well, it has been here in times measured in years. I know for a fact that one or two bits WERE supposed to be going back but well.. I would rather argue about doing a GoFundMe to stop a musician who’s music blew up woofers, drove folks mad with bass hunger for the low frequency addictions he still spawns, and thus SOLD lots of their kit by making the bass thing so popular, that they can present their case to my furry tuchus by way of a loving kiss. Or, if required, I WILL kiss theirs..whatever it takes.
My mama said, as her LAST words, ‘You tell that David Cameron that if he fucks up my beloved NHS, I will come back and fucking haunt him.’ And that’s the true, unedited to ‘˜screw’ version.
This really bites. In Croydon, where he was born, Neil would get the treatment. In the USA, he needs GoFundMe, he needs YOU.
OK lets go put a picture or two on the Facebook page. link
