Yes it was a private sale to a mate of my brothers. He needed to pay 'cash' so could'nt take advantage of cheaper online deals and you'll be hard pressed to find a 5090 in a highstreet store.

He reckons the cheapest he saw them online was £2200 and the most expensive (wait for it) £2700!! so I got 2k and a sammy plasma probably worth £500 if it was new but it is immaculate as its been wall hung.

I wasnt going to turn that offer down...

No way, if I could find someone to offer me anywhere near that I think I'd make the jump!!

A little soft New Zealand Lamb was definitely harmed in the making of these  :smiley:

These look very cool  :drool: And being B&W, I bet they sound amazing too  :notworthy:

Well if any one else wants a cash deal I'll let you know   :grin:

I have to agree you did get a fantastic price for you 5090 and to get another 50" thrown in on the deal is just the icing on the cake :happy2:

Superb wee coffee machine I was expecting to be terrible....works a treat, now trying to limit my caffeine intake. Fabby latte, capuchino and espresso in under a minute with no mess or fuss. :scared:

Crikey! Those Roberts radios look a bit different to when they first came out in the late 1950s(?) when we had one.
