Hi guys,
I've been lurking here a while & reading with interest the discussions on the older PCDP's & I thought it about time to join in. I see nobody has been game enough to comment on the last D311 on ebay ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=3044710089) but I'm sure quite a few members were watching it with interest given it's considered a 'classic' around here. My "amusement" stems in the fact it was purchased by a regular member who ALREADY owns one, AND, locked other fellow head-fiers out buy making a private deal with the naive seller. I've read another post about a guy who has FOUR D-777's... it's a shame to see this kind of obssession spoil the enjoyment of a community.
DV.

Welcome to the nuthouse.

That kind of obsession is the enjoyment of the community.

Hello Diamondview, and welcome to head-fi. About my recent purchase, it's because I need back-up damnit, back-up I tell you....seriously that player sounds like it is in better condition than my player is so I will probably be selling the lesser of the two whenever that player gets to me. It was too good a deal to pass up, so I jumped on it. Anyone here could've done the same, but alas, I was the winner..hehehe, don't hate me

Hmmm, well, maybe you could post some shots of the defects which make your current one unlistenable.

Hate's a strong word, I'll put you in the 'spoilt brat' basket for now

brat is pretty strong for these parts too i think. he didn't say it was unlistenable, but just in less than perfect condition. if he wants a better one let him get one. if you don't understand that this might not be the forum for you. (but stick around, this place does strange things to people.

)

As I remember, the one that I sold him (which I assume was the one in question) had a couple cosmetic defects. Nothing major, but there's nothing wrong with buying a better condition one and selling the other.

Thanks Goose and Strohmie, it feels good to be understood. Honestly, the player I have does have a few minor defects. The main defect is a slight depression on the lid.. Not a major defect, but it does distract from an otherwise great player. Being a member of this board does put a major drain on your wallet. I joined in February of this year and I have already built quite a collection. I began with just my trusty Optimus CD3400, and now look at me.

that's what this board is for. so obsessed freaks like us can find others who can understand.

Steady on ! I clearly grinned after the 'spoilt-brat' comment. My original point was made after having read some of the posts on ebay-bidding 'niceties' & having respect for the bids of other members, & yeah, I guess I would have at least liked a longer opportunity to bid as well. Hey, good on-ya Pappucho !

hi there diamondview..

i've recently referred in one of my posts to my (4) D777 so i'm not fully sure if u were referring to me, but for the record, all those were collected out of 2nd hand shops where it was ignored, where it got stuck in the selling list for weeks. The only classic i got from ebay was d303 ($AU 30), and for that i was the sole bidder for an item listed more than 7 days..

I've thought about selling 2 of them, now that i have e905 (

,the only reason for its delay is i can't ship them other than in australia, don't like the risk). well.. if u want drop me a line (PM), since your in aus, i'll see what i can do...

regards from sydney.. GO THE WALLABIES!!!
