    Cost to sell on eBay

    I agree, but it doesn’t work that way; $600 is insanely low and we can only hope that the idiots in Congress straighten out the IRS. I expected a number around $5000 or more. $20,000 is really too high, and $600 is an indictment of the economic ignorance of those who determined the figure. It is...

    Cost to sell on eBay

    That’s the case with a lot of the folks here, but not the IRS. There’s talk of dealing with personal items sold, like that deck you bought 20 years ago, but with the emergence of online sales there been a whole cottage industry started. I saw a while ago a suggested method of how the IRS wants...

    Cost to sell on eBay

    Why? You paid $10 and sold it for $610 and that IS exactly what a $600 gross profit is. Now you can deduct any costs you incurred in parts, tools, shipping and shipping materials, miles driven m, and tech fees above your time and labor. This scenario is exactly why these changes were made as...

    Mason Jar speakers?

    Lol, found this today on FB… That big glass bit probably cost more than a decent set of bookshelf speakers, which obviously lack the panache of whiskey bottles… https://www.facebook.com/share/v/84d37GrV4UAeBUH3/?mibextid=WC7FNe

    Can anyone identify these speakers?

    Nothing special. Probably rack system speakers of little value.

    AK Retiree Club

    Congrats! One of my biggest health miscues was not getting enough sleep when working. I did 20 years on 5 hours sleep when I started at 5AM, and now get about 10, plus lounging around in bed on my phone like now. I doubt the extra now will undue any damage done, but at least it isn’t getting worse.

    Congrats on your impending retirement. There are plenty of posts in this thread about Social Security and you can search the thread for soical security to get the thread. The big thing one needs to evaluate is their needs and how much earned income one may have prior to reaching their full...

    Itching to upgrade, looking for opinions.

    You might consider coming to the lower 48 for a few days of auditions. Find a cheap flight to somewhere with a lot of audio stores to audition and come down for a few days. You could even drive and save some money on a flight and shipping, unless there are dirt cheap round trip flights available

    Fried Q???

    Well, adding a new option to my speaker purge. I decided to play the family room Fried Qs in the main rig down stairs, especially since I have a 4 way speaker selector set up. These guys are great! Switching them back between the AR-10Pis they are clearly in the race and quite probably will wind...

    What's your latest audio purchase?

    I picked up one of these Fosi 300W BT receivers w/48V PS about a month ago for $99.9 and very pleased with its performance in my system. It may replace one of my regular amps pretty soon.
