D66000 and S9900 cabinets on auction

[vernb]

In small Denmark the cabinet company that makes Everest and K2 cabinets for JBL has closed and all their assets are on auction.
I went there to take a look today, and there are at least 15 pairs of D66000/67000 cabinets and quite a few S9900 cabinets.
I really hope that JBL buy them, so we won't see a lot of DIY/copy DD66000/D67000 on the market the next couple of years. Though I am wondering if I could fit in a pair in my own living room

Hallo JBL sound lovers
There is still some S9900 for sale in Denmark on DBA.

I find the price very acceptabel.

There even seems to be some DD67000 cabinets for sale. LH member A Fossen from Norway bought some, but has problems with transport and is now trying to sell his winning bid, to the highest bidder.
I passed on that one....

I have the dd66000 and was willing to shift my auction for a cold beer, but no takers so i have to live with my rosewood finnish everest or i just use my right to pass on the auction and get my money back (when bought on the innternett you have 14 days right to pass in scandinavia). the original auction price was 7200, price was 10800 dk including tax and auction fee. People tought i would sell cheaper than the original auction price......... Hey im not crazy! But i have to say i like the old jbl better than the newer stuff.

I apologize if that was what you meant. Communication online and across languages can be difficult. You never called me back and your email said "hva vil du eventuelt byde for å overta auksjonen", which I translated to that you wanted me to pay you extra.

I still would like to pay the DKK 10.800 and rent a trailer and pickup the cabinets, if you still want to sell. And I will certainly buy you a (case of) cold beer, no problem.
