--> XDP4000X-List message posted by: "Bobby Braun" <bobbybraun@comcast.net>
For anyone who might be interested, I'm going to be putting an XDP-210EQ up
for auction on Ebay in the next few days and I thought that maybe someone on
here might like an early chance at it. The unit is in above average shape,
very well taken care of, and was only installed professionally. The unit
does have some minor scuffs on the face and light scratchmarks near the
mounting points, but the inputs and outputs on the unit are flawless.
Cosmetically, I'd rate it at an 8.5 out of 10. Pictures available upon
request. Guaranteed to work, was only used for a few months till replaced
with a 4000x. The unit is complete with original manuals, box, mounting
screws and extra long unilink cable. Will sell immediately for $175.00 plus
$15.00 shipping including insurance(continental US only). Will accept Paypal
or Money Order(Paypal preferred). Anyone interested contact me immediately
at bobbybraun@comcast.net Any other questions, feel free to ask.
Bobby
