AD140 and PPC412 - for 515 quid!! I had it on my watch list but it ended and I'd forgotten to check it! That's a couple of hundred less than you'd pay for the cab alone new [:o]

Someone sure got a bargain!

Nice! I don't think the winner thought he could have it that kind of price either 8)

The last AD140 I saw went for almost double that price! And this deal contains a 4x12 too 8)

It's about 1.95 dollars to the pound currently. The AD140 head is about 1000 pounds new I think ,the PPC412 about 700. So that's really less than a third of the new price... crazy.

The old credit crunch must be biting if things go for that price.

Unless postage and packing was £1,000!

It was pick up only, perhaps there's just not much demand for Orange in the Portsmouth area... I'd have driven the 5-6 hour round trip from here in a heartbeat though!

Would almost have tempted me to offload the AD30 for that...

I missed a OR120 that went for less that £500 because I slept 20 minutes late the other day. It really sucks doing stuff like this.

Cash on collection is usually safe - get to make sure the thing works etc.
