    Hello Joseph. Price? Location? Pic's? Condition? That would go a long way to figure out whether or not I'd be interested.

    Joseph,
    You might want to re-read the forum rules again. (I understand you are already familiar with #1. ;) )

    :)
    1. You must have a total post count of 25 (contribute to the other parts of the forum) before you can sell anything in the "For Sale (FS) Classifieds" or "Garage Sale" forums.
    2. List a price you wish to sell the item (include shipping costs). All members asking for secret bids (like ebay) will have their items removed.

    Gosh.
    I am sorry that I did not include a price.

    I thought I was clear that I was currently researching the value.

    I have been very honest in my postings and I believed that I used the correct forum ie "For Sale" section.

    In absolute Truth I do not want to cause any trouble and will soon edit my posting with a Price on the AR XA turntable.

    In reply to the Dust Cover being an additional charge.

    The current dust cover is not in good condition and I do not believe it has any value to it.
    I will give it to the person at no charge if he/she wants it.
    I have not been able to locate an original cover of the same period of the turntable that would be authentic.

    I am available and willing to talk so please be kind and forgive my transgressions......

    Please email me joseph.v.chen@verizon.net

    Please delete this posting.

    by the way the value of this turntable
    seems to range from $50.00 to $250.00
    I saw one for over $250.00 but that seemed not reasonable

    I actually like to Hike.
    The National Parks are wonderful.
    There is the Glacier National Park that is beautiful.
    Perhaps you could also take a hike soon.
    Yellow Stone would be a nice place for you.
    Thank you.

    Oh well.
    I did it again.
    I have offended the Gods.
    I beg your forgiveness.
    I posted a forsale item without a price and I am guilty.
    I have since withdrawn my posting.
    Thank you.

    My apologies.
    I'll be sure to include a price on any future posting.
    Shipping costs would be a variable expense. Since
    destinations are different and insurance cost dependent on the final price.
    Thank you and again my apologies

    It's not that tough. Read and follow the rules. Or are you one of those people that think the rules are for all the other people? There's plenty of places to sell your stuff, maybe the rules elsewhere are more to your liking.

    I assure you I am willing to abide by all the rules.

    I will follow all the regulations.

    If I make any mistakes again they will never be intentional.
    its Probably a good thing I am not a lawyer.

    I know that if I am out of line someone will be there to let me know.

    PLEASE just a simple 'straight' comment would suffice and I'll be back on track.

    It just sounds retarded that you keep stating you've read the rules, yet still posted the same mish-mosh of multiple unanswered posts as you did back in 12/2008, all saying the same thing and begging forgiveness from the "gods". You are transparent and insincere. As the big guy would say, just STFU and really sit down and read the rules.

    this is a novel sales tecnique. generally i have not found little success with being rude or abusive as a means to any goal, particularly sales. perhaps if the goal here is to get banned from the group, i suspect this will be quite effective. ;)

    Hello Christophermuto,

    I do not believe anyone is really meaning to be rude or abusive and certainly would not want anyone to be banned.
    People have different ways of expressing themselves.
    It just takes time and patience to sort the differences out.

    Everyone get to say what they think and in the end it is all for fun

    I appreciate everyone's responses and replies and take the good with the not so good.

    so.... anyone interested in a vintage AR Turntable ?
