I don't really believe what I've just done. I just placed the winning bid on a year-old, mint-condition KEF KHT-3005SE speaker package on eBay, for the rather
price of £600.
OK, so I now have to drive from South Wales to Kent to pick it up, but the seller looks reputable (had just this week sold his Pioneer 5090 for just £1200!). My first bid for the KEFs was £470, and I just kept telling myself that it was a heck of a price for such a well-regarded system.
And £600, while a lot of money to a 21 year-old who doesn't earn a great deal more than that in a month, just seemed like a fantastic price for what I hope will be a massive upgrade over my cheap, lightweight Onkyo all-in-one speakers.
Some mixed emotions (mainly disbelief, since I hadn't intended to spend a penny, let alone transform my system!), but I hope I can say it was worth it when I get my hands on those lovely gloss black KEF eggs!
