There are no Tannoys out here. No audiophile speakers of any kind to be honest.Just some old Tannoy Reds.
There are some speakers, but not the ones he had hooked up. I do not remember what kind they were but they looked like the attached speakers. I do know this man spent mad money on audio.View attachment 1027239
Whatever you do, do not tell anyone your location and in the future do not give any specifics such as it is an estate auction nor post any pictures because others will google the pictures and look up estate sales in their area to try and outbid you on these items.
Yup they do not show up often here either maybe big cities but not smaller towns, there is a lot to be said for just having to load it up and take it home too no worries about shipping costs or damage. I have bought everything Mc related that I have seen locally except for a package very similar a MC-240 C-22 MR-66 and 2 MC-30's for 6k which the fellow backed out on or they would have been mine tooI too would recommend stretching to get this stuff or at least part of it. You don't run across this stuff - I've been to scores of auctions, estate and garage sales, hundreds even, and have seen a grand total of one Mac tube amp (a 40, which was mono and needed a mate). Especially since you knew the owner and listened to it with him.
I wish you luck, rain, and severely stubbed toes that morning for your competitors.
Not to hijack this guy's thread, but I don't understand this at all. What if the other guy only has $1500 liquid? What do you gain by throwing out a high bid? What do you lose other than a few minutes by letting the bids proceed?If there is more than one other bidder in the room I bet starting bid is 2k. This is a prime example where you should throw a high first bid out there. If opening bidder starts it out at 2k you promptly bid 3k to cut to the chase. I think you could go to 4k and still be ok.
