Rest assured that this Empeg was not stolen, though I appreciate your concerns. Whilst I don't check the board often, this is because I haven't actually put the item up for sale yet. I was looking for a general concensus as to its value to decide whether it was worth it..

It's unfair to state that I am guilty until proven innocent. I'm not going to go through the effort of taking a picture of the serial number if I'm not sure I'm selling.

In light of the concerns expressed on this board, it may seem safer to place this item on Ebay (with a picture of the serial no.), then at least the buyer can pay through Paypal and the whole transaction will be more traceable.

Having read the qtbasic 309 thread, it does seem (understandably) that the inherent trust that was evident on this board has been destroyed. I think it is important, however, not to jump to conclusions and tar everyone with the same brush.

Cheers,

James.
