How could you go wrong for $240.01?

And I suppose you don't care if they're ripping off someone elses design?

You could get nothing. And I can do better than that For $240 I will sell you a genuine lightly used Nagaoka Kill-A-Volt.
Battery included.

Read again! $500 buy it now not .01! He lists both .01 and buy it now. The 845 is listed both ways.

Looking at the Aria Mini amp as an example. If you could actually win a auction at .01 (very doubtful) pay 65 shipping and actually receive the amp then it would be a hell of a deal.

At the buy it now price on the Mini of $140 and $65 shipping I wouldn't do it. The Aria mini is a Rebadged Yarland FV34CIII amp, which I happen to own, that you can buy from Cattylink for $100 plus shipping.

The guy's feedback is all from selling what looks like bootleg DVD's and there are only 7 feedbacks with a 87.5% rating, I Would look elsewhere.

Look guys, I guess I just figured that in an age when folks spend loads of cash on everything from bags of sand, to jars of rocks, to wooden discs, $240+ on a tube amp wouldn't be all that crazy a thing to do.

I did notice later that the $.01 was, in fact, an initial bid - he must change the things around (not a comforting thing to learn) with how his auctions are set. I know I saw one with a "Buy it Now" price of $.01, but alas, it is no more.

Regardless, in the end I think I'll put my $240+ towards that four-shelf VTI rack I've been eyeing instead of the amp...at least for now ;)

Anyhow, I hope everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable Thanksgiving.

Cheers,
Mark

Good thinking Mark and good luck,Bob
