Lexie Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Quick work here in spotting this one. Seems like we need real jobs! Can’t see it lasting long, but not much use if you already have a fair bit of gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No bids at $200 but make an offer available. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/sansui-amplifier-AU-501-Just-Serviced/283786929682?hash=item421304e612:g:46EAAOSwePReS4Em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterbean Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 A little off topic, but pertinent here I think: I bought an HDCD disc (Neil Young's Mirrorball) that was described as "good" and lightly scratched and played fine. In fact it was heavily scratched., and whilst if plays fine now, I am dubious about how long that will last. (any views on that?) I like having some hi res discs to pop on without having to start the server etc I have lodged a complaint, and the seller is behaving like a dick. He told me to look up ebay's rating system for CDs which I did and this disc is definitely in the lowest group, but the rating system is certainly curious. Of the four categories good is the second last, or third, definitely below the median rating, which is somewhat counterintuitive- I would think the "Good " description sounds more like "fair", for those of us who look at condition https://www.ebay.com/pages/help/sell/contextual/condition_7.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was a photo of the scratches in the listing, your legs cannot be relied upon for standing upon in this case. How is the seller's feedback? You could suggest the feedback threat, or if you paid via Paypal, that may be a viable recourse. I recently had a complaint re a skipping disc that was fully refunded. Similar for a (cheap) CD that never arrived (Christmas mail rush or mailbox theft), even though I advised that I wanted the CD and not a refund. No communication was sent, just the refund (maybe an auto-notification). I'd like to see a more honest rating system, but I suppose that's why there is customer feedback re purchases and not lower designations of quality such as: 4 - Fairly sh!te 5 - Scratched to hell 6 - Completely knackered (for sleeve collectors only) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
att23 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 If you are really unhappy about the product, definitely get a refund even if it’s a lot of effort for little money. I have done it more than a few times. From my experience, I always downgrade it one level for used disc or records. Good means Fair, Very good means Good. They are generally always rated one level too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whites Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 @Alpine Electrocats I had exactly the same experience last week. It wasn't an expensive CD, played okay, but I was shocked at the amount of scratches on it when it was described as "good". Thanks for posting the link to the categories, I will be more careful in future purchases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_mike Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Probably along the same lines as the Goldmines record grading, good isn't actually good. My minimum grading I would consider buying is VG++. Check to see if Goldmines has CD grading, I'll bet that's what ebay base their's on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssb102 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Looks like a pawn shop. FYI Canley vale is next to Cabramatta. ie where that poor young guy was assaulted and died in hospital after trying to sell a pair of headphones on gumtree to some randoms who took advantage of the situation.
