Well, my Empeg never sold. Thanks, Paul, for pointing out the fact that there are other Empegs up for auction at the main Ebay.com site -- it hadn't occured to me to look there before.

I've relisted mine with a starting price of £400 (no reserve, like before). This is really the lowest price I can go and I'm kissing goodbye to the chance of coming out with any money leftover since that's how much my alternative solution cost. I spent all my savings on getting the new player because I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to hate myself for selling the Empeg. At the time, I thought I wouldn't have any problem selling the Empeg but it turns out there's a lot less demand than I anticipated. Oh well, you live and learn!

Anyway, here's the URL for the new auction:

Edit: Oh, yeah, I also managed to borrow a friend's digital camera so there's some better pictures up on the auction page this time.

Greetings!

The better photos certainly help!

Less than a day left...

Only 25 minutes left...

Finished @ £601 - didn't you do well.

Nice to see the European market isn't as crap as it looked (empegwise at least ).

Hi all, and thankyou to my namesake Greg
It was me who bought it :-)

Now just gotta get it fixed into the car...
