Default Re: Radiophile Auctions

I am not suggesting adding unknown to every lot. I am suggesting that the vendor declares the item complete, incomplete or unknown. sometimes it is not easy to check for completeness without dismantling. (for example a reel to reel tape recorder).
As far as not being worth a fiver I agree I don't expect much and wouldn't complain.
But when you pay fair money as I did for a tape recorder and then find the valves have been robbed that is not really fair is it? If I had known its true state I wouldn't have bid for it..
Anyway only a suggestion I understand how things are and that the auctioneers are not responsible and I certainly don't want to cause any ill feeling over a couple of valves!
Caveat emptor I suppose...
