It's located in California though.

 

[the-real-mandak]

Strange but you are right.

There is another here, also from the US: http://cgi.ebay.ca/Vintage-Classic-...oryZ3279QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

----EDIT----

They are also listed on the US E-pay so it must be some internal e-pay setup.

Whatever countries you specify you will ship to, it will appear in that country's Ebay listings when searched.

US $105.45 ???! To hell with that. I wouldn't sell this one for anywhere near.

looks like an Aker may have gotten it

Me either. Not even for double that much.

Well if the sniper was an AK'er you know what he will get told when he asks me to restore it. Two selector switches with bent shafts, missing knob, what I bid was what it was worth when you add in near $50 shipping. Needs the service bulletin mods, about $85 parts and labor, new veneer $120, sure hope he enjoys it.

Some of us like to learn the hard way.

Hey Rob,
What mods are you referring to??? Far as I know my 2020 hasn't gotten them, but sounds fine without so far......

Ahem.

I was the winning bidder here; I'll apologize upfront if I stepped on somebody's cybertoe here, or violated some unwritten AK protocol, but if I did I am not aware of it.

NO ONE, myself included, asked any other forum member to back off this item, a practice I have seen on AK before and respected.

There were several bidders on this unit; it was posted in this thread as an item of interest to ALL AK members and/or subscribers. This was not a situation where one member had given an alert to only one other member

Given that situation, it was, AFAIK a free market situation: it was worth slightly more to me than it was to the next highest bidder. If somebody else had outbid me because it was worth more to them than it was to me, then they would have been the high bidder and not me.

I have local resources to address the repairs without shipping this unit off for repair; given that this unit may or may not prove to be a good buy for me at the bid price, but wasn't that the point of putting this item out for the attention of the whole AK community ?

If I'm off base here let me know



:thmbsp:

Seems legit to me Bally. No one here in particular even expressed a special interest in the unit, it was just posted here for general interest as far as I could too.

 

[analog addict]

ditto...

 

[merrylander]

Rather hard to be a high bidder when your bid came in with 15 seconds to spare, and at some ungodly hour of the night. AA I'll PM you regarding the mods. I don't bid against fellow AK members on general principles, YMMV.

Merrylander, I haven't been around here that long but I don't believe you posted here until a while after the auction had ended and, had I been bidding, I doubt I would have recognized what I presume is your eBay handle as the same as an AK member's.

Looking at the list of bidders, I don't see handles that appear to be the same as any of the people who did post on this thread potentially expressing interest (although no one here said anything about wanting it in particular, as it was really more a discussion on its location and price).

I think your general principles are sound and if they work for you, you should stick to them. Not everyone will subscribe, but it doesn't seem that bally should have known that another AKer was the high bidder.

I don't mean to be argumentative here, I'm just trying to make the point that if you are interested in an item posted on AK, you might want to mention it so that people with principles similar to your own don't have to crosscheck all bidders with AK members' handles before bidding.
