minute Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 Further information: These are fantastic speakers but unfortunately the partner wants to downsize as we live in an apartment complex. Brand new these will set you back $33000 Will donate to SNA if sale goes through on these forums Photos: 7 1
Yamaha_man Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 And I thought mine were a bargain. These won’t/shouldn’t last the day 1
minute Posted October 18, 2020 Author Posted October 18, 2020 Thanks guys. Being in an apartment complex these have not received the usage they deserve. Considered putting them away in storage for future use but who knows when I'll be able to move into a house with a large living room.....

Murray Hodges Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) If I may ask, what is required upchain to get these going? Edited October 18, 2020 by Muzza71
minute Posted October 18, 2020 Author Posted October 18, 2020 Any source with XLR/RCA outputs (with volume control) can be connected. I currently run them with a T&A DAC 8 DSD that has volume control. Will list that for sale too if buyer is interested.
sfdoddsy Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 Two in a week. This site never ceases to surprise. I don't suppose SGR supple measurements, or they've been reviewed by someone who does?
minute Posted October 18, 2020 Author Posted October 18, 2020 I believe SGR can provide the measurements. I normally deal with Stuart and he is always super helpful. To other owners - do you remember how these were delivered in the crates? From recollection they were just lowered down on the lifts at the back of the delivery truck and rolled in (the crates that the speakers came in had wheels). Is this correct?
minute Posted October 18, 2020 Author Posted October 18, 2020 Hi guys, as expected there have been a lot of interest in these speakers. There is a potential buyer however the suggest payment method is via Paypal. I have not used Paypal for any large transactions before and I'm a little concerned. Just wanted to ask if anyone has had experiences with Paypal payments and is there anything I should watch out for? Thank you!

cazzesman Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 Been there and done that. Only the Kii 3's could pries the CX4F out of my cold dead hands. Love SGR, Love Stuart and his family. A truly mighty Australian conceived, designed and built product. At this price, Minute is giving them away. If they are really interest the buyers will simply undertake an Internet Bank Transfer. Easy peasy. Regards Cazzesman

It never crossed my mind previously to let these go however I wouldn't have a use for them if I'll be using the TV speakers.... I was lucky I made 2 great choices re the DAC and speakers

Ever since I ended up with the SGRs and T&A DAC8, the upgrade bug disappeared Saved me a lot of money in terms of chasing the dream 1

Do a search on paypal scans either here on.sna or on the net and make sure you are 1000% happy first 1

Buyer has 100% good feedback here on SNA though but this is a large sum of money for me so will ask for a bank transfer. I haven't been active on these forums lately and have forgotten how helpful/kind people are on SNA. God bless
psychometrics1 Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 PayPal as a trusted friend is ok. Normal PayPal can be a problem for a seller not just because of the fee but if buyer changes their mind and claims issues etc. you may have to refund and pay to get the speakers back. 3
sfdoddsy Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 I've used Paypal for years, often on big ticket items. Paypal usually err on the side of the buyer if there are issues, but I've not had any problems. The biggest issue would be that Paypal charge a 2.9% fee, so around $400. Probably worth doing a bank transfer just for that.
Festooned Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) People tell me that even bank deposits can be reversed in you get to them in 48 hours... and I'm guessing that would be in case you entered the wrong account number. For a significant amount of money I'd probably use an escrow service or the bank deposit idea with little delay for funds to settle. I hate Paypal with a passion and there are numerous vectors for scams, including false e-mail confirmations, e-cheques, getting things shipped to a different address and then claiming they didn't arrive at your Paypal address, swapping things with identical models that don't work and returning them etc. Edited October 18, 2020 by treuben 3
t_mike Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 Why would you buy something like this without viewing? You wouldn't, so while viewing, pay and pick up.
wikeeboy Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 I wouldn't be doing Paypal. Not for that money. I do everything i can to avoid paypal. To be fair, your asking price seems more than reasonable. If the buyer really wants them, you should dictate your terms, and terms which provide you the most safety. If the purchaser is not happy with that, sell them to the next in line. 1
jimypeny2 Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 HI 'Minute' There is a company called escrow.com that just set up in Australia last yr (according to google) that u could try. It does make sense to use an escrow considering that ur selling such a big sales item. His a link to escrow services https://www.lifehacker.com.au/2019/09/what-is-escrow-and-when-is-it-necessary/ and this one is to do with escrow.com https://www.escrow.com/news/articles/escrow_com_launches_in_australia Good luck with your sale Btw Great value for the $ to whoever is considering these speakers
