Regarding the big Sansui G-9000 reciever. I wrote a poignant letter to the seller and she's going to repay all the funds, including shipping if the Postal Insurance doesn't come through. That's one good thing. The next good thing was pretty cool. Found an absolutely mint Sansui G-9000DB in San Diego (non-Ebay, thank you). Apparently owned by a former CIA agent, this thing doesn't have a single scratch or even a dented corner. The rosewood finish still shines! This is for my little brother who absolutely loved the original Sansui I owned (and I wish I never sold.... the two piece 93 pound, G-22000 that pumped out 220 wpc) and he's in love with my G-9k. Got it for $350! No shipping, no BS. In California-ese, we'd say he's totally stoked! Check it out below...
