For Sale: Empeg MK2 $150

Hi I'm selling an MK2 rio empeg. It's in great physical condition. It had a whimpy hard drive so I put in a toshiba 80gig and I tried putting the software on but I don't think I know how to do it right cause it says hard drive failure.. either it needs a new hard drive or someone needs to put the software on correctly.

Includes:

Empeg
Sled
Case

$150 + $10 shipping = $160, I only accept paypal.

if you're interested, can you PM and email me at [email protected] Thanks!

OBO.

Hey man, would you ship to NZ, if so, what would the cost be?

Also, nice 350Z if I'm not mistaken

Hey, thanks yeah still have the a. It wouldn't be more than $10 for shipping

That seems rather unlikely for shipment to NZ (New Zealand, a country in the South Pacific).

Probably more like $30-$40 for small packet AIR service.

Cheers

What's your zip code?

8041. Cheers.

Unit Sold

Dangit. Sorry I slept on this. I just bought a couple other things so I had to hold off. Glad you got it sold though.

Yeah, I just missed out too. Oh well, next time around

Yes, faithmassive sold it to me on February 11. I sent a payment for postage on February 18th.
I got a message from him on the 19th saying he was posting it.

Since then I've had no communication with him, nor have I received the unit.

Jon-Paul, if you're OK, would you mind sending me the USPS tracking number so I can see where the package is.

From where to where is it being shipped?

Looks like Florida to Australia (yay!). A month is about the outside it should take, but much longer and I would start to get concerned.

Yep it's to Sydney.
Someone else sent me a tuner module the day before, from TX, and it arrived after six days.
This transaction is now 28 days old, and I've had no reply from
faithmassive. Maybe he was hit by a bus?

He might have somehow managed to send it by surface mail (which apparently isn't supposed to be possible from the USA now), so it could take 6 weeks.

But even just USPS to me here in Canada can take four weeks. Much slower than from anywhere else on the planet, really.

Cheers

Thanks. I'll try not to worry ..

you may want to review your payment method and check to see what, if any, limits there are on reporting a fraudulent transaction.

Reporting it and then having the item turned up 'delayed' is better than waiting too long and missing the window to notify.

This wouldn't be needed if you could establish contact with the seller but since he's not returning emails/calls for some (possibly harmless) reason then better safe than sorry.

Just out of curiosity, I had a look at faithmassive's previous posts, in February 05 a seller had a great deal of trouble contacting him, but it all seems to have turned out OK, so maybe, fingers crossed, it will this time.

Thanks for that. I've found a phone number for the family business so that's an option.

Strange thing about forums. With some you get ongoing conversations with participants writing replies during pit-stops early in the morning. With other forums, people look in almost at random.

I don't know if it's the actual bulletin board format, or the subject matter, or the sociology of the subscribers, or all of the above.

Or it could just be, I'm housebound after an accident and have nothing better to do!
Any non-technical commission welcomed, I've just finished researching an artist's obscurer material for a radio station.

I hope the accident wasn't serious! Get well soon.

We did that one here, but thanks for your renewed concern.

Ah, yes. I was afraid that something new had happened.

Back to the sociology of the forum. Technical questions are answered instantly. There seems to be a team of dedicated experts ready to help.

It's just the sellers who seem to reply randomly. Maybe it's hard to part with a Rio, so folk advertise then don't come back to check the replies.

What was the outcome with this?

The outcome?

I did a whois on his mail server and it pointed to the family business.

A friend in the States who has done some Private Eye training rang the directors who apologised for the trouble, etc etc, and sent to unit to my friend, who is passing it on.

No detail on why he couldn't send it himself.

Thanks for asking.

Mysterious, but I'm glad you got your Empeg in the end.
