Garrard 301 takes off
- Thread starter stevieboy

Yes Prem. But Joshua said he was the only bidder. So trick is to bid at last moment. (At start one should not bid at all) And keep an eye on other bids if they are autobids or not. If they are not autobid one has good chance.
But You are also right for Autobids there is no solution and highest bidder gets the stuff.

Hi Joshua,
Few tips that have worked for me:
1) Avoid bidding till the last moment as you will be increasing the price unnecessarily
2) Observe the bids in the last 30 mins to know if there are others bidding as well.
3) Start bidding in the last 2 mins, increase the bids as required use a fast computer + fast internet connection. Before you start, make up your mind as to how much you are willing to shell out for the item and be conscious not to exceed it as there is a good chance you may go past it in all that last moment excitement
hyeah:. Last 15 seconds, even if you don't see any movement, place your maximum amount as there may be others who may be trying the same trick and you don't want to lose to them
4) Look for auctions ending around 3AM in the local country as you will have lesser competition. I have won many automobile stuff like this in eBay Australia for I know Aussies will not stay awake except to party
YMMV

Yes good strategy but in the past I let go few stuff as for most US auction they end at 4 to 5 in the morning. Guess I have to party.4) Look for auctions ending around 3AM in the local country as you will have lesser competition.

offtopic : Good to see you back Santhoshbhai. Hope your ears took much needed rest
@ Joshua, one more thing you can do is join vinyl engine and post your requirement in wanted section. I posted for my Technics feet (as one rubber feet was broken) and a kind gentleman did send me turntable feet for free. but unfortunately they were of different model.
Regards
Will try vinylengine. Thanks for the tip.

Hi,
I am really loving the "vintage" Ortofon sound.
Transfered the Ortofon SL15 onto the Linn.
Different sound from the Linn cartridges.
Better? To my ears yes.
I'm lovin it. :yahoo:
Had to change from the TFK Ecc83/GE 5751 combination in my phono stage to all GE 5751 combination.The Ortofon 2K-15 transformer was causing hum problems with the high gain ECC83.
Would love to get a Schick/Ortofon SPU combination for the TD124.
Will need to sell some audio stuff that I do not use to raise the funds, sometime in 2012.

Hi Rajiv,
If you're selling a Thorens TD 124 or a Lenco I call first dibs on them.
I had read one person's report, and he had a few SPUs, that they performed better with a little antiskating and on arms that offered them. Of course a few people use the Schick with SPUs too...
Can't wait to hear it!
