Seller asked for PayPal fees after the sale. Should I pay them or not?
I have been on this site for a long time and years ago, it was common practice that almost all sellers asked for the paypal fee in their ads. It's not against any paypal rules to ask for the fee, but it is against ebay rules to ask for the fee. So... 
why no recent Merlin speaker reviews?
@tpreaves - I was thinking the same thing!

@gdnrbob "I know sometimes I have made a mistake in a listing, but I always try to make thing right" - that is what makes this site work, members treating each other with respect and always trying to do the right thing. I have dealt with many memb... 
Selling?
@tonykay - I think that is the point of my post and that of Grannyring, trying to give the OP an idea of what someone will pay for it. So he had 3 people say what they were willing to pay, which is only to give the OP an idea of what the market wi... 
Selling?
I completely agree with Grannyring. I have thought about getting one over the years to try and missed a mint one about a year back because I didn't think it was worth what the seller was asking, which was about $5,500.00 I agree, due to age, my to...

+1 @lowrider57 - The deal you made was not to pay the fee but if you feel like you were getting a good deal in the first place, you may want to go ahead and offer to pay half of the fee to get the item you want. The other side of the coin is that ... 
Refurbished vs New
I have had one bad experience with a Marantz DVD changer which I bought factory refurb. I bought from an authorized dealer. It was evidently a lemon, it failed within the first week of receiving it. It would just shut off and not turn on, which I ...

@ marco1 - Kudos for being a gentleman. 
Wilson Sasha 2 - too much speaker for room size?
It’s possible but has to be done right. I have a pair of Sophia 2’s with dual JL Audio F112v2’s subs in a 14 x 18 room. I confess that I had some professional help in the set up but can tell you once it was set up properly and the level controls p... 
Value of Unrestored Audio Research Tube Components
"There is good demand for old Audio Research pieces IMO"In fact, the demand is so high, it will cost you a small house. Check this ad out:http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-x-AUDIO-RESEARCH-REFERENCE-600MKIII-MONO-TUBE-AMPLIFIER-MADE-IN-USA-1200-W... 
Conrad Johnson Repair Issues
That doesn’t sound right. Did they tell you why they didn’t tell you about the damage upon receiving the unit. If not, why not. That should have been the first topic of conversation. You mean to tell me they would give a repair estimate on a mangl... 
Pass Labs XA200.5
Wonder what price level this one fits in?http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-x-AUDIO-RESEARCH-REFERENCE-600MKIII-MONO-TUBE-AMPLIFIER-MADE-IN-USA-1200-W... 
Vinyl and subwoofers
I think Stringreen is correct Some of it could also be due to isolation problems with your rack and turntable support but usually it's a set up issue. 
Pass Labs XA200.5
Yes but in every hobby, there is that problem of perspective. For instance, I also like to collect coins. There are many coins worth the price of a house and you would ask yourself should I buy a house or hold this little coin in my hand for the s... 
Mastersound Due Trenta problem. Schematics
