The seller ended the auction early to sell it to the high bidder at $51.00US with $45.00US shipping.

Doesn't seem right. The buyer had feedback of "1".

Maybe not a real sale?

Most likely what happened is the high bidder or someone else contacted the seller and asked what they ultimately wanted for the item. The seller gave the buyer a price and the auction was stopped. That happened on a Fumeo I was about to bid on. The Fumeo Seller told me that he received a good offer and didn't want to wait till auctions end.

I will never understand sellers who do that... It should be obvious that if someone offers you $Xyz to end the auction, that means that he/she thinks that it's likely to go for more than that if allowed to continue.... Odd...

Something is afoot with 8mm stuff-I could only raise $NZ80 for a couple of cased ST1200HDs recently. Trev

Trevor,

Now if that had been a pair of GS 1200's I might have hopped on a plane to come pick them up!

Are you still planning a trip to England this year?

Hi folks,
about this GS at 51$, if you check the feedback of the seller you'll read a positive comment which means the projector arrived to the buyer! Oh oh.. for 51$ ???
