after a dozen superb boxes in 2 years --its time for some actual serious feedback .

need to do it like this ---
Skippy vs. ebay

a win from ebay is most often as follows:

hope it get shipped , hope its packed well, hope it works !! or something works
check for a battery cover, see if there is an antenna - is it straight ?
any knobs ?? any ORIGINAL knobs --

both speakers shot - or just one ?
controls do anything ??

scared to try the deck !!!?
forget record
tape counter --sure

grills dented --?? case filthy
see thru the dial glass ? -- like cracks

stereo light ever come on --or any lights ??
meters trying to work ??
-----------------------------

a deal with skippy is the exact opposite-
gets here safe and fast --everything always works -- everything is there and original -

we dont even test things--we,
just admire and enjoy the boxes Skippy sends

today i got these 2 classic little Marantz models --cant even describe how nice they look and how well they work -

SKIPPY !!! --thanks for everything.

Beautiful Marantz's indeed. Love that bold font, absoloutely striking design.

I hope to one day say that I've bought lots of ghettoblasters off Skippy too.

And you too Ira, of course.

Hope the Marantz's provide you lots of christmas joy too.



Rock On.

Wow! Of course I love both of those. Really diggin' the one on the bottom. Way to go Ira!

And though I have not bought from Skippy lately, his sales will always have my interest!

Thanks very much RBJ!!!! I'm waiting on a neato box from RBJ also. It should be here today.
I'm glad they made the lonnnnnng journey to Florida.
Did you need to defrost the boys when they arrived?
Thanks Glucifer and Oldschool !!! Hope we can do some traded/selling/buying in the future too. I's always fun to get something cool and different.

Awesome!

The S2G family wins again!

Nice Marantz!

One thing to add if I may to the ebay list:

'Does it have the powercord?'

I cant believe how many times a box will arrive with no cord! Minor I know... but it irritates me for some strange reason!

Oooooooooh, there is the miniboombox!





I love that little boombox!

You know how Ira is.... he gets so excited to rip into the package so he can expose his new toy and play with it that he has a premature discard of the packing material... then he has to spend 20 minutes apologizing...

I keep telling him to think about baseball....

hey -- seriously -i DID throw it away

and way unlike the last time when i had to climb in to dumpster --this one was a NO-GO-

the first time was an all cardboard re-cycling bin --sort of a clean dumpster.

but , this time -- because i pulled a 'dudley-do-right'
all that bubblewrap stuff went into the main community trash compactor !!

not about to jump in there for just a Marantz accessory

Wow, can we just have a Skipbay?

Nice boxes and reassuring that some people still care about selling/trading nice stuff!

A+++ Skippy


Johnny

Thanks a lot Johnny!

ole skippy is a great guy!

Thanks Floyd!
You and I have had some great trades also.

Um... What were we talking about?

I cant stop thinking about Baseball...
