So in the hopes of generating the same PR for what seems to me to be a reasonably priced ad, I'm replying to Margie's. Sorry, I have no need for the mentioned items, but if I did I would find the prices reasonable.

I understand your point but I think it's helpful for potential purshasers to know that this really isn't a good deal. Not everyone had your 16 years or my 14 years of experience here.

I am a 16 vet of Moscow and a 48 year old expat, so let me help you out. “OBO” Stands for - Or Best Offer The term is used a lot stateside. You guys seem to be taking the piss out of somebody for no reason, if you think the price is to high just make an offer for Christ’s sake. It is a pain to move as you all know, I don’t even know these people but have some compassion will ya. The Expat sites and lists are meant to be an aid to assist people, not cause them grief.

Sorry people but what does OBO mean? I've never heard it before and I'm a 50 year old expat. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REF:- Hi all, I'm looking for some advice on Russian language courses? Are there any you would recommend in Moscow? Is 1-2-1 tuition a better way to go? I've been in Russia for some time now but I'd still rate my level as beginner. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I had two different 1-2-1 teachers. I would reccommend them over a class as you get things explained to you when you don't understand and can go faster on things that you do understand. However, After 2 1/2 years of Russian lessons I gave up when I started to get deep into Russian Grammar. :-( (Adjective endings! Oh My GOD!) Good luck Nick Julian Micah Risk <[email protected]> Sent by: [email protected] 19/01/2009 13:48 Please respond to: The Moscow Expat List <[email protected]> To The Moscow Expat List <[email protected]> cc Subject Re: Expat List Moving Sale- Furniture, Brand new Entertainment system, kitchen, etc 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. 2009/1/16 Nick REES <[email protected]> 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!

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.
