    Ask for small bills under $10, otherwise they may be counterfeit.

    Glad it worked out well. With the background you did there was no reason to expect an issue. You have a new audio friend to play "one up" with now.

    Hah! This friend actually can one up me in every component if he wanted to. We have been nonstop talking about things well beyond audio. A fountain of information.

    He and I have so many things in common, it's crazy. It's like we became friends in a matter of 2 hours.

    Hmm guess he hasn't seen the shorts then!

    I'm glad everything went well and that not only did you find a good buyer but a potential audio buddy.

    Btw I'm just bugging you re: shorts

    Glad to hear it went well. I too had concerns in the past when selling stuff....or even buying it from someone's house...safety first. Sounds like you made a new audio friend!

    Hilarious!

    So yeah, looks like he wants to push up the pick up date from tomorrow to tonight...

    Also he agreed to $9250 and didn't bother to haggle when he saw the 802. Very pleased with the transaction this far. He is getting a good deal as well since he is local and no need for shipping.

    Also I'm going to help with set up and I am helping him search for amps and preamps.

    I guess you just have to see past the low balls and you can get the right price right deal right person afterall

    I would say it's sad to see them go, but I know you too well Joey!

    Anytime something like this leaves your home, it's because something even more awesome is coming down the line.

    Congrats Joey!!
