Spotted this on Gumtree, thought someone here might be interested. Somewhat cheaper than the usual ebay UK price.

Usual disclaimers - it isn't me selling this, I have no idea if it's any good or not. Gumtree isn't a mail order service, you have to collect the goods from the vendor and pay cash, so remember to factor this into the cost if you're interested.

wow, that is a crazy good deal.

I'd be interested myself but I already have a demodulator.

I had e-mailed this guy offering to take it but I need it posted to Northern Ireland. Didn't get a reply!!!

If anyone on here is local and would fancy doing the leg work for me I'll gladly pay for your time.

That would be because I decided to buy it. I've arranged to pick it up tomorrow. Sorry...

Yipes, I had no idea what these were suddenly selling for on eBay now. A lot of new ones for $249 each, and people are paying that.

I wasn't going to buy it, but I realised a couple of days ago that the Yamaha makes more sense with my setup than the Onkyo demodulator I'm currently using, which connects via five component analog signals - I want to use those inputs for a computer. The Onkyo demodulator is also quite a large unit, and I'm a bit short of space, so getting the Yamaha makes sense. I'm also going to buy a few disks to make the trip more worthwhile.

Once I'm satisfied with the Yamaha I'll probably sell the Onkyo unit.

Looking at the ship-from location : "Pakistan" and no pricture, mmm that makes me thinking, I might be wrong but be carefull,

Think there are other nice catches like the pioneer rfd-1 :

Myself I am not interested, have 3 at home, of which 2 brand new never used (yamaha & kenwood), which I got almost for free ($20) .. do not see any reason why to stock more or to pay high prices ...

I should've gotten one when they were $100ish, but I don't have a 5.1 setup. I do have other reasons for wanting one, and I have a pre-amp with the decoder chip I could probably hack a digital out from whenever I get a round tuit.
