605's with XO's should be enough to go around
LOT OF 30 ALTEC LANSING SPEAKERS | eBay
Did 605's come with the accordion surround??
Fifteen of us throw in $550 a pair, give Bill H a pair to pick them up and arrange for shipping....Works for me....No reserve either. Whatever they go for, they are going...
It's a retirement fund....
Will be really interesting to see the price.
Would have sounded awesome!
Yes, it's 416 derived while the 604 is 515.Quote:

If you guys are serious I'm in.

Yes, very interested, PM sent.
In per my PMs. No other interest among my friends. This auction ends on Monday. If you're really serious about this, I'd be on the phone Monday AM, trying to line up a deal with the seller and Bill H at GPA, for pickup, storage, shipping, etc
I may be interested, that college is 3hrs from me.
I'm in, PM sent
Put me down for a pair.

Those are georgeous! You can bet some dealers are going to jump on this in the last minutes for sure.
Hmmm, my wheels are turning......
That's what I'm thinking, too.Quote:

I count 6 PM's and a may be is that right?
IME I think these are going to sell for $5000+ prolly a lot more so.... I don't think we are anywhere near that number.
They're at $83.50 each right now. Nice snag for a big buyer from Asia.
The Big money will be bid in the last few moments of the auction... I guarantee there will be lots of bidders for these.
I am in for a pair guys. I live in India and will need help with shipping as well. Few of my friends here are also interested. Any help would be appreciated.
TIA.
$5000 is $166 each I could do two pair for sure may be three if that helps.
Hi people,
I wanted to post on introductions section but couldn't find it.
I'm an audio enthusiast from India and a member of an India centric online forum Hifivision. I've learnt about this group buy through one of our forum members.
Having heard them, Ive become a fan of them and dream of owning a Altec based hifi stereo setup.
I'm interested in picking up a pair of this gems. Please do count me in.
Regards
Rajesh
I am in too,if it is not too late. I want to compare them to my 604b. I sent PM
Whats the head count now?
I think we all have one head each?Quote:

I'm talking with Alien behind the scenes (PM's)...Personally I don't think Bill or GPA want to get involved.. They are interested in selling new stuff.So we are on our own in that regard... Also I don't think we should go any higher than $600-$750 a pair. I'm leaning towards $600 as we still have to figure in for shipping costs.After that it no longer becomes a great deal... But an average deal.. I think Alien has a good plan that he mentioned to me.. I'm just helping Alien I have to bow out of this as I don't really have the room or need them...Quote:

Also the SHIPPING costs aren't included in this auction price..If you are fortunate to win it then the buyer will have to determine shipping costs to each participant and bill them for those costs accordingly...
I think it would be a good idea to exchange emails or phone #'s .Talking on the phone IMO is the best form of communication..This way there will be no misunderstandings of what was meant.Unless there are different languages involved..

Most Important Part "The Altec User Board" has nothing to do with this BUY whatsoever ! This is a buy between private members through PM's ,all activities with this purchase are to be done PRIVATELY ! AGREED ? Post agreed if you agree with this.. If you don't agree then you are not to participate !!! No Exceptions !! AB , AUB Moderator..
Agreed, I also thought that we were asking GPA to go above and beyond. Do you think they would sell us the proper shipping boxes or is that even a problem? I need to go to OKC, could do the shipping if needed. I also have a powersnipe account. Any talk about how much money we are willing to pay should be done with PM's so we don't show our hand so to speak to the competition. Do we have buyers for all of them?
We should setup a group email so the folks that are thinking about this group buy can ask questions etc and get a feel for what's going onQuote:

I agree with the terms and agree the bid needs to be done by a snipe bid service. Who is the point person to PM? If the point person has a PayPal account that person could send an invoice to all participating with their share of the bid prior to the bid. The invoice should be the share bid amount plus the PayPal fees that the account holder would have pay for receipt of the money through PayPal and the point person would only bid if all money has been received prior to the auction end.
Contact Mike aka Alien_Shore ! He is organizing the effort... For the folks who have sent me a PM I'm forwarding your PM's to Mike so he can count you in and contact you... If anyone has an objection to me forwarding their info please let me know I will send them on to Mike in about 3 hours.. or sooner if i get the green light before hand... As time is of the essence here i may have to do it sooner...than the 6PM Eastern Standard time..Quote:

Some of the speakers in this lot are damaged (either cosmetically or functionally). Not sure how many.Quote:

I disagree. The risk has been there from the inception of a group buy of 30 USED items in varying states of condition, and has not changed.Quote:
So the risk of buying this lot is going up...
Apparently the awareness is starting to kick in.
The question that's been in my mind, and i'm sure in several others' who have refrained from posting(as i probably should have) is "who's getting the dregs?"
I wish you all luck, and hope you're all still board members after the dust settles.
Ended at $9,100
Wooohooo it went all the way up from $6k to $9100 in last few secs!!
