And now...C-J has the brand, and there's no way they're going to let it outclass their namesake. But I stand by the design...so if you own something of mine, and want...I'll really unleash it, with parts we couldn't possibly spec and still sell it for what we originally did".

Am I reading too much into that? lol...that's the way I take it. I tell ya...for what they cost you on the used market, I'd take an RLD-1 and DNA-225, and let SMc spruce them up for me in a heartbeat.

I know it's a heart-felt story (isn't that the whole point), and I'd feel like rather a sh*t-heel if it's true; but c'mon...blind deposit, ahead of local pick-up...and this well-to-doer at AA has no feedback?

Like I said; guess I'm the cynic of the group? :no:

not a fun road trip, after sending a deposit, then arriving at a vacant lot as the pickup address. :tears:

Great to see a cj lover snapped it up.

Hi Shane,

This is the one for sale that I am buying. I should be able to pick it up next week from the seller. :banana: Hasn't been used in 4 years so I will have to make sure all is well before firing it up for the first time.

Yes you are.

Do some simple research. Jeff Behr is a well respected member of audio asylum and has a long history of owning cj gear. He certainly would not mention Ed's name at cj if it was not legit. I for one had no reason to second guess the add and that is why I posted it here so a fellow cj lover could enjoy it.

Chris,

It's real, OMG! it's legit. Come to papa......

You are having one heck of a week! Nice pick up.

I absolutely meant no offense. I don't know Jeff Behr, or Asylum at all...so I was just speaking in general. "Divorce" and "widow"-sales are common scams, on Craigslist and such. You've seen the ads: "don't know what this is...it was my late/ex husband's; it's really heavy and says Krell on it"...lol.

Plus...I've been trading used gear for quite some time...close to 10 years or so; granted, probably not as long as some of you...but I've NEVER seen a deposit ahead of local pick-up. But I'm obviously glad it worked out for Joe...and jealous...and again, didn't mean to disparage anyone personally.
