Beowatch
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 23, 2011 10:58[quote user="linder"] I have one also which is in mint condition. I agree the price is somewhat high. The box I have is a silver cardboard type material. The watch is great fun when visiting a B&O store. Only one time di…
Beowatch
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 20, 2011 13:18Yep I've owned one of these and sold it. That price is a bit high I agree. Leslie has had them of course, like everything else. The top buttons as someone says are actually the letters V and A, not up and down. V turns o…
Ready to spend a fortune....? - Thorens TD 124 MKII - Beogram 3000 Turntable
in eBay - the right way! · Dec 14, 2011 20:27I purchased a restored one from Frede, and knowing what he charges and cost of restoration, I think this one is perfectly reasonable in price. Looks to be in good shape too. Not sure what you were all expecting price-wis…
EXCESSIVE POSTAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
in eBay - the right way! · Sept 28, 2011 14:19I have done tens of thousands of dollars selling ebay items, including a *LOT* of B&O, and $40-50 USD charge for shipping on a BM 4000 would be very reasonable from Washington to Texas. I also live in Washington state. I…
I'm tipping someone will be changing their handle...
in eBay - the right way! · Sept 27, 2011 17:02Thanks for the explanation that was an interesting (and yes, very strange) read. Unlike a unique color or some other aspect of the corvette you mention, a license plate doesn't garner much attention here in the USA so cu…
EXCESSIVE POSTAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
in eBay - the right way! · Sept 27, 2011 16:55It is against ebay to have excess shipping charges to avoid final value fee, which is what this person is doing. Really as a buyer what do you have to worry about? He/she can't leave you negative feedback. You can leave …
I'm tipping someone will be changing their handle...
in eBay - the right way! · Sept 23, 2011 16:34great explanation! 😂 OK time to move on. Obviously this is an inside joke of some sorts. Why I bothered to ask I don't know.
I'm tipping someone will be changing their handle...
in eBay - the right way! · Sept 23, 2011 11:27OK I don't understand this (I live in the USA). How can this license plate be worth this much? Maybe this is a joke and it flew over my head! 😕
Surround with B&O
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 12, 2011 18:13Forget the BS3 and save your money, and buy a nice high end Onkyo. Then, use something like SONOS for multi-room audio. The BS3 is an outdated dinasour. Sounds like you are trying to build a frankensystem.

Buyers beware - most likely a scam on ebay
in eBay - the right way! · Aug 10, 2011 12:12He "relisted" the B&W speaker he had from before probably to save time, which left the B&W brand on it. Anyway, the nice thing about ebay (for BUYERS) is that if you pay via paypal it is almost impossible to get truly sc…
Beolink 7000
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 26, 2011 13:25I think the response was reasonable because there will certainly not be any BL 7000 going for just $107 in the end of the auction. Anyway, I currently have (located in the USA) a Beolink 7000 that is in perfect working o…
Wall mounted Beolab 6000 - possible with older ones?

Euro B & O equipment used in US with a converter?????
in North America · Jun 23, 2011 13:33Most stuff can be converted easily. I have one connected to a Beolit 1000 power source (Beopower). However, once you get in to the powered beolab speakers that draw a lot of current, you will need huge converters and the…
New to B&O: Rear Channel Speaker Advise Needed
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 23, 2011 11:55There is no real difference between the BL 7-2 and 7-6, other than size. The 7-6 is huge and will look funny on a TV smaller than 60" I would think. As far as the sound metering, it is sad that B&O's BS3 doesn't have som…
Cona pairing and usage.
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 13, 2011 08:17Hi Jamian I hope someone here does chime in to help. As of today over 100 people had viewed it but no one is posting...the forums here aren't as active as they used to be and helpful responses aren't as forthcoming. To a…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jun 10, 2011 00:33soundproof: Thanks for the reminder. I do indeed have it and have been enjoying it very much, although my time is limited these days it seems. I will definitely have to post some pictures of it soon. The black color is a…
Wife doesn't like BeoLab 9s
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 7, 2011 13:08I would love some BL9s or 5s, but there is no way my wife would let me get them either. She barely put up with the BL3s I have in one room, and thins the BL8000s look like rockets. Maybe if I had a space ship theme....
