Thanks for letting me win it :-)

I believe the 1200 was released - but I never looked at these units in detail when they were current products

Just very happy to have another bit of B&O kit =)

i was eyeing that auction but was not "driven" enough to bid for it...secretly hoping a Beotalk 1200 would come up soon.

Do you know if the 1200 was released in Australia?

good on you for securing it.

Despite my trepidation about my BV7-40 Mk IV order...

Just out of interest, when is your BV7-40 MKIV arriving? I'm sure you ordered yours a few days before me? Mine came in the store last Tuesday. Have you confirmed a date with your dealer?

I've had, erm, one or two issues with my MKIV, so it might be worth noting to your dealer that they should keep your MKIII in reserve, just in case, for a few days. As it stands right now, I'm getting my MKIII back on Monday and the dealer is removing this MKIV.

- go on... what was on the answerphone?!!

Takes me back to a time when i first started dealing in cars.. A chap turned up looking very distressed needing to 'trade down' his nearly new Rover 820SLi for a cheaper car and a wad of cash as he 'needed to get away from his psychotic wife' and start again.

Turned out she had good reason to be psychotic... Two days later the valeter presented me with a wad of rather steamy letters from his mistress (outlining their recreational activities in great detail) that were tucked under the drivers sun visor and came tumbling out when it was flipped down. We never saw him again, and funnily enough he never came back to ask for them. I can only guess he was too 'tied up'... *cough*

Latest purchase ... via eBay

Despite my trepidation about my BV7-40 Mk IV order I have been delighted by my latest eBay purchase and it has confirmed my love for most things B and O !

Last year I was "burnt" by an MX purchase that failed irreparably with 3 hours of starting to use it ... so it was with some hesitation that I bid for a Beotalk 1100

I won it for about the price of the MX (which I still have as it is so beautiful to look at even when powered off I just can't bring myself to throw it on the junk pile)

And it has worked perfectly and SWMBO likes it too - a real bonus as she did not know I had been bidding again :-)

My only word of advice it ... if you every sell a Beotalk, make sure you delete all your messages first !
