Nagra SN lot on Ebay

I have been looking for a Nagra Sn for a long time. Today i noticed somebody placed 9 of them on sale
Item is located in Canada. He wants people to go there and inspect them before buying them

Its good for our Canadian members specially Brutus to check it out

 

Cool gadget, however no shipping....does this guy even know how ebay works?

 

I guess he knows what he is doing, At this moment he has more than 100 items on sale. He lives far away from me (more than 3000 miles) otherwise i would travel to him to buy this lot. Lets see what Brutus think about this guy.

 

... sometimes I wish I was living in Canada. Seeing this post the feeling came again
if some of you is going there and considering getting them, I am ready to take 1 or 2 pieces.
just let me know. M.

 

the sad thing about Nagra SN's is, that due to their high price there's soooo much crap around.
I've been for one of those for quite a long time and must admit, I would rather pay a lot of money
if the device comes from a serious dealer or first owner then buying unseen on ebay.
I have a friend who collects pro-audio-equipment for ages, even he only got one good one, wich he
purchased from a tv-studio. funnily it's not the (optical) nicest he's got - there's 4 more in his collec-
tion, they appear minty, but are "thrown together" from parts - all purchased via ebay (years ago).
the Nagra SN is an extremely well made and beautyful pro-recorder, but due to its price not a "must
have" (...at least to me)

 

I completely agree with you and thats why I don't have one yet since it is difficult to find one in good condition.

 

Late to this thread...This looks really interesting but he killed it early for some reason.

It's a shame because it's about an hour and half away from me.
