Hi All,

I'm massively overstocked with these, and have SIX available - for FREE to BeoWorld Members.  I've tried them on eBay, to no avail - so if nobody here wants them, they're firewood.

We will NOT post these - they are mega fragile and take our guys forever to pack up properly, with no guarantees they'll arrive in less than 400 pieces after that.  Official packaging is big and very, very expensive as well.

So..  Collection ONLY from LifeStyle AV HQ.  If you want all six, you're welcome..

Regards

Lee

It would be a shame to bin these!

Why don't you get some tops made up and sell them as "one-off universal Bang & Olufsen TV stands"... Or something?!

I'm sure they would (/might) sell. They are quite a nice stand for the BV8 although the fact that you can see peripherals is irritating, to me. 

If I am ever passing, I will swing by and collect one just for the sake of it!

They'll all be firewood on Monday morning unless someone wants them..

I'm having a proper clearout - with no mercy being shown to products which'll clutter our shelves for the next 10 years.

Lee

Haha

That's fair enough! You don't have any bvis3 28 frets kicking around do you? 

We may have the obligatory Green, Blue and Yellow ones that fester in dealers stock rooms throughout the land.  No black, silver or grey though - they sold on ebay.

Lee

A yellow one would be lovely. 

I already have a nice black one - Although I kind of like the idea of a yellow one :)

PM me a price and postage if poss and I'll send you some cash over for it!

Found a Yellow one.  Needs a wipe over, but looks good!

Donate £10 to BeoWorld to cover postage and i'll send it to you

Lee

Anyway - this thread was to give away the BV8-32 Cabinets !!!

Great stuff. I'll do it now - Address as is on my Beoworld account...

Anyway, sorry Lee - Back to topic!

"Free BV8 Cabinet Stands All Round!!"

(edit: how do I make a donation?)

Llewelyn:

(edit: how do I make a donation?)

Just go to the Gift Shop, scroll down, and buy a £10 postage token.  That'll do the trick!

You had these priced under £50. Can't believe they did not sell.

I really should move to Europe...

Did someone take advantage of this offer? Just hate the thought of these been used as firewood.

Craig

Not one single person.

The axe is being sharpened as i type this...

Isnt it staggering what stuff is relatively worthless, when so expensive new!  Like the saying "you can't even give them away!"

As a (probably) cultural anecdote, here in Finland it is very difficult to give stuff away. Apparently people think there must be something wrong with free items. The only one interested will be a retired orphan student with a disability and no car, 250 km away. After the stuff has been demolished, there are folks all around shouting "why didn't you offer it to me"...

I believe the problem with this item is that it isn't that useful without an 8-32 to put on it, and anybody who would need one already has it.

We get plenty of stuff like this which really, you cannot give away - so it ends up taking the expressway to skipville.

Reminds me of that old joke / urban myth:

Some guy bought a new fridge for his house.
To get rid of his old fridge, he put it in his front yard and hung a
sign on it saying: 'Free to good home. You want it, you take it.'
For three days the fridge sat there without anyone looking twice.
He eventually decided that people were too mistrustful of this deal.
So he changed the sign to read: 'Fridge for sale $50.'

The next day someone stole it!

A few years ago i bought some flats in the town centre and the same thing happened.  

I ripped out three crappy old kitchens and some dirty old appliances - and to keep the skip clear of clutter i put a notice on them all saying 'please do not take these items - they are valuable and will be for sale soon'

Every morning the stuff was gone.  The sign was the prompt i think...  LOL

Human nature.  

I often get calls from exasperated customers who have made the decision to visit my website to reserve an item they've been pondering over for days, only to find it's already been reserved..

They come out with statements like 'is it really sold - because if not, i'll have it now' and 'you have no idea how much i wanted that item, please sell it to me and tell the other person it's sold already..' (which won't get anyone anywhere in my books)

So, i tell them that if the other customer drops out i'll call them.  This always gets a 'oh, thank you - i so hope they do.  My credit card is right in front of me and i want it now!'

Three days or so later, the person who reserved it has had a shock on the shipping quote or can't raise the money - so you call 'Mr X' who has been hopping up and down to buy it and now it's 'available' you get a nonchalant reply like 'oh great - err.. i'll have a chat with the wife and get back to you..'

I've never understood that one..

The best sign i ever read was in a car dealership's sales office.

"The car you looked at today and will decide to buy tomorrow

 Is the car someone looked at yesterday - and will decide to buy today"

The owner of that business was a multi-millionaire by the way...

Close! more like 5250km away though!!!

Shoot... This would be a perfect excuse to get a BeoVision!

Things like this always make me cringe. What I hate the most is when people just toss BeoVisions. Here I am staring at a Sanyo wishing for someone to SELL me an old B&O CRT... Recently someone bought an AV5 for $50!!! I have been actively searching for one of those! [:'(]

Well I had to take a perfectly working one to the tip a couple of weeks ago. Tried my best to give it away. Put up a post on here. Also put one on a Jamma forum. As some of the members on there have older consoles which work great on a 4:3 TV. Really could not give it away, a bit like Lee's cabinets.

Yes, I remember!! But you gave it your best.

My waiting continues.

Ah well...

... and they're gone.
