So did I outbid someone here?

If so what were you after, if something in particular?
I'd link to it, but I won the auction on my Sister's account,
so I can no longer see the lot on eBay.

Most of the cabinet stuff I will send to whomever needs it,
except for complete radios.

If you want others to see the lot just post the auction number and I'll convert it to a link.

You can if you use Advanced Search and click on Completed Listings before executing the search.

I've always had a habit of putting anything I want in my watch list though if you delete anything from there you can still see it in your purchase history. Anything you ditch from that can be retrieved from its archive.

It's my Sister's eBay account, that I had to go over her house to access.
If I had bookmarked the eBay page it might have showed something still,
but I no longer have any reference to it for now.

I just watched it by searching "valve radios" each time,
and then went to her house tonight just for the last hour.

It's a lot of radios, definitely more than half have been harvested,
which is what the add said, some complete,
all untested.

The fact that it is pick up from Rosewood, I thought, would limit the bids on it.

It wouldn't be one of three big lots going? All the radios laid out on the grass?

I worked out the Completed Listings part, but I don't see it,
and there aren't even any that ended on today's date,
but I do see some radios I recognise from looking previously.


Not on grass, but not fully enclosed either, there was some sort of roof covering, but they weren't inside a house.
None of them look great, it ended just short of $300 for
about 12 radios. Three large consoles, but the consoles
look the most like write offs.

It's good to see what some of them went for,
someone got one I really liked for $175. Never would have thought.

I no longer have any reference to it for now.

There will be a link back to it via an email sent from eBay saying that you won the auction, and an emailed receipt from PayPal. Both of those emails will contain the eBay item number.

I worked out the Completed Listings part, but I don't see it,
and there aren't even any that ended on today's date,


That's odd.

Those were in VIC. I think Art is talking about a QLD auction.

Ahhh yes, I think I remember the one. I did give it some thought though I've been buying other things recently and have left myself a bit short for radios. Perplexed

Yes Qld.
It's my Sister's eBay account. I won't get any email.

Most of them were missing knobs, and the three consoles
had their chassis sitting on top of them, as did some of the smaller radios.

I'll get pics up soon enough.

Yes, but I thought she may be able to forward you one of the emails that I mentioned.

It's likely me being the next one to use her computer Grin
I'll have to be there to follow up tomorrow.

I'm kind of hoping a couple could be made to work,
but that their cabinets were not considered good enough.

I got the item number:

231088243925.

Funny I still don't see it in completed listings, but can search for the item number.

Sometimes eBay's system is not current and I guess this is one of those times.

Re cabinets, I don't see anything in those pictures that seems beyond restoration but a closer inspection may change my mind.
