Micah,
I moving sale USUALLY means heavily discounted goods.......not stuff
that is available cheaper in the shop.
It's like some shops who put the price up by 100% and then advertise
"50% disount on everything."
Nobody's suggesting you "hold their hands" through an OBO (or best
offer) but a little less greed would probably have created a lot of
"best offers".
I wish I hadn't replied now but I hate seeing fellow expats ripped
off.....and I'm not talking about me as I have no interest in any of
the goods.
Btw - if you only received one offer for one of your items and that
was, for example, $10, would you accept that "best offer"????
Rgds,
Nick

Well apparently you did not read thoroughly, or maybe you dont
understand the point of OBO. The point of selling things like this
is, if people are interested, they tell you what they are willing to
pay. People are not idiots, they know what a moving sale means. Or
maybe I should expect to hold hands with people through an OBO offer.

Micah,
I don't know whether you think people are fools on here (and I know
you've written "or best offer") but reducing your prices less than
20% for stuff about a year old when the stores themselves are now
reducing by more is taking the piss a bit.
If this stuff is used and in good condition, usually people would
expect to see around about a 50% discount.
If people go online, they'll get better deals for brand new items at
the moment!
Nick

We are moving out of Moscow and need to sell all of our stuff.
Everything is under 1 year old, and only used by 2 people for part
of the year (or some of it is not used at all!). So everything is
still in excellent or good used condition. We will be gone by mid-
February, but are hoping to start selling the things we do not use
often. Located in the Izmaylova region.

Entertainment System Summary:
1. AV Receiver: Yamaha
Ampli-Tuner Audio Video
Model: RX-V459
New, never been opened. (MSRP was $400)
This Yamaha RX-V459 is any Home Theater buff's dream!!
It has VERY clean bass and plenty of cranking power
The RX-V459 has everything you need without any over kill.
Even has a place to plug in your MP3 player and listen to it just
like any other component you'd
The setup is very straight forward and well documented in the manual
IF what I have found on the web is correct I believe the RX-V459 is
a late 2007 early 2008 model?
Bottom line:
If you want a super clean sounding unit without a ton of
buttons...reasonable price with lots of features...top notch quality
inside and out...this Yamaha is the way to go.
Trust me it won't take long for you to fall in love with it!
Strengths:
The usual super Yamaha quality build and sound.
Easy to navigate and setup.
Plenty of features without being overwhelming!!!
Place to plug in your MP3 player.
(Don't see this on the higher end units for some reason)
I like the -80db to +80db volume setup.
At -27db it's pretty loud and ya haven't even got to 0db yet!!
2. InfinityBeta HCS
Complete 6-piece Home theater and music loudspeaker system
200 mm (8"), 100-watt, compact powered subwoofer w/ CMMD drivers
Four magnetically shielded, 2-way satellites w/ CMMD drivers
2-way, magnetically shielded, voice-matched center speakers w/ CMMD
drivers
MSRP: $1500
Also never taken out of the box, but bought as a display model so
I'm willing to knock the price down to $1200
It's a really great system. Check out the following links if you're
interested:
1. Product Specifications:
http://www.infinitysystems.com/home/products/product_detail.aspx?prod=BETAHCS/230&ser=BET&Language=ENG&Region=EUROPE&Country=FI
Both links have photos.
2. Description: http://www.infinityloudspeakers.com.au/beta.html
Again, these are in perfect condition, and haven't been used.
If you buy them together I'll throw in another bonus and sell both
for $1500 out of convenience.

"Few are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the

courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great
intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those
who seek to change a world that yields most painfully to change." -
