in For Sale (FS) Classifieds
Back on the market to members that are in good standing and meet the set criteria of the forum. That said, lets not derail this thread as it is not an area for discussion. I am happy to discuss anything about the player via PM if you should have questions. Description is honest and transaction will be hassle free and quick to the person that steps up here. The unit shows as brand new as if you were ordering brand new.(Plastic film still on display sceen) It does not have a lot of hours on it but trust I have enjoyed it enough to speak up and say it is a very nice sounding player with tons of features, most of which I don't use or need so make this baby yours. Will come in original bag that fits into the original box remote & cord . Will ship Fed Ex. (unless the buyer hates Fed Ex, then I will find an alternate) Unit is Black and it is a beautiful piece for sure. Non smoking home. Packed and ready to ship, or pick up in Dayton Ohio. $1000.00 Pay Pal gift, check, money order, what ever is easiest for you. Read reviews, read reviews and don't believe me, but you will love it and I am open to help with set up if you are like I was (kinda still am) Challanged with this stuff. It is a real user friendly piece of gear . Thanks and please keep questions in form of a PM. I will answer promply.

    Thanks for the nice PM Mike and great question I forgot to mention..yes it will be double boxed just as it comes from the factory. I shouldn't assume (hate that word) that everyone knows it would be double boxed. Thanks and hope all are well.

    Sunday morning bump with a 25.00 reduction! Just because I'm passing this beautiful player along does not mean I still don't have love and respect for Cambridge, it just has way more features than I need or have ever used. This one is dead mint guys! $975.00 shipped, check, money order, paypal (GIFT) and it is ready to ship. I don't delay once payment is received and will ship Fed Ex. (unless buyer requests UPS)

    Great value here!!

    Just saw this yesterday and it is indeed minty fresh. I would snag it in a heartbeat, but too many other obligations right now. Dont let this deal go to a stranger or flipper! It needs a good home!

    Amen brother, as the big step up from the 851N (not with Cambridge) to a unit that does what the 851N does is sure a costly beast. I know this!!!!!

    Picked up the 851N last night from FedEx. It arrived undamaged and in mint condition. Hats off to Johnny for making this a very smooth transaction it was a pleasure getting to know another forum member. Initial impression is definitely a step up in sound quality from the Aries Mini and its no slouch. More on this later got some music to listen to :)
