Hello , I am thinking about selling my Beauleiu 708EL. I havent used it much as I have 2 Elmo GS1200's and they do all the work etc.
The Beaulieu is in nice condition for the age, runs as intended etc etc.
Im not too sure what to ask, well I have an idea etc, but would say offers around £800?
Im in Bristol, UK and would prefer that the machine was inspected in person etc before offering.
Your thoughts welcome and thank you all.

What model is it Mark?

A photo or two would help your sale here btw. [Wink]

Any photographs then Mark??

I have no idea why a post here would ever need removing when Mark's original post clearly states any thoughts welcome???

I'd need Doug to explain that one I'm afraid.

Andrew,

Mark posted this in the For Sale section. The topic title is "F/S Beaulieu 708EL". Sales rules apply. I've also asked him to decide on a price. Your original comment about photos still gets your point across. Feel free to contact me off-Forum with any further comments.

Ok Doug, but at even any price,this can only be gauged with the added benefit of actually seeing the goods on offer with these type of things.

Huh? Have I committed a faux Pas?

OK price is £850

If some kind soul would advise how to place pictures on this forum then happy to post images etc.

Again, I reiterate as this is a lot of money I would rather the buyer inspect the projector before buying etc For your piece of mind.

There is a lengthy topic of such instructions posted here previously on several occasions Mark.

If you follow what has been said here before, to the letter of the law, this should solve any issues you may have posting photographs.

While I understand you want potential buyers to come and see the projector in action before parting with any money, it needs photographs here first really, to encourage anyone living a distance away to maybe do so.

Mark,

Thank you for setting the price. I sent you an email yesterday explaining that rule.

If you need help uploading, feel free to send me the pictures and I will gladly put them up.

Doug

Maybe Mark has slept on this one, come to his senses, and decided to keep it now. [Big Grin]
