hi,

due to the lack of response, i just decided to relist this 2 panel serge
with no reserve. minimum bid is $1999.99 so it will sell for that if anyone
bids on it.

considering the fact that you got bids of approx. $1200 total for the three pieces (2 panels and the ps/case) when they were being offered individually, and just $1030 for the set when you offered it last week, i'm stunned that you think you're going to get TWICE that amount simply by terming this a "no reserve" auction. certainly no one on this list is interested in paying that kind of money for these items (nor are approximately 5 million ebay users worldwide).

you seem to have a very unrealistic opinion concerning the value of gear (for this and other auctions; you don't seem to make your reserve very often) and you're paying through the nose for your listings when your items don't sell.

old serge gear just isn't that valuable because new gear is readily had; there's no difference in features and sound except for the fact that new gear is clearly superior. you'd buy old/used gear only to save money, and not for "collector/vintage" purposes, IMHO.

so good luck, i guess. the two panels and the homemade case are worth around $1000.00.
