I think you should have asked these questions before buying the speakers??

I have bought from this seller a few years ago and been ok. 

Cheers sandy.

I don't think anyone here will advise you not to pay for something you've bid on unless it is an obvious scam, which this is not. It is one of the most annoying things for a seller to have a non paying bidder.

The BL4000's are a very well respected speaker - personally I would pay cash on collection just to make sure you are getting exactly what is described.

Price wise - I would have wanted mint condition for that money. They are described as being very good but this is a really subjective description, this seller has sold some pretty ropey (in my opinion) items in the past & given them this description. The problem is that rating condition is extremely subjective & what one person would call "good" someone else may call "mint" & yet another person may call fair or even average. I think my opinion on good is really of a higher standard than this & some other sellers.

Having said that, as it is a "buy it now" sale it is subject to distance selling laws which means you can return them for a refund if you change your mind once you receive them no matter what the reason - so long as it is within the regulatory time and in the same packaging & condition in which they are received. You will still be stuck with postage charges though.

Errr....

You really cannot compare the £30 Maplin jobs to BL4000's. They are in a league stratospheres ahead, you won't be disappointed at all with the sound, particularly if they are the better MK1's.

Don't pay too much attention to all the buy it now prices out there, it is the auctions which reflect the true market value on ebay. And for £550 you could have got a much nicer set but you would have probably had to wait some time for the right set to come along. Gold (or any coloured) ones are generally of lower value than the silver ones as they are less versatile.

Thanks for that yes I will do cash on collection it just isnt worth the risk !I am not in habit of not buying when agreed but at such a large amount and when I am inexperienced I just needed advice thanks!! 

You could always ask for a bit off for cash as it will save the seller on Paypal fees (of approx 4% I think). I would also suggest that if you agree to the seller filing a cancel auction with ebay it would give him back his final valuation fees of 10% which he should at least split with you.
