Sale of Audio Research D-150 to this US customer:

"I've long wanted an Audio Research D-150. When I learned that Eilif Hansen had a unit for sale, I began emailing him. I wasn't sure if it would make sense buying a unit from Norway, as I'm in the United States. The shipping cost alone would probably kill the deal. To solve this problem, Eilif researched it and came up with a very reasonably priced method of shipment. This made it seem as if my dream might come true. Well, the timing just wasn't right for me, so somebody else ended up paying more than I could afford at the time for the unit Eilif was selling.

A few weeks later, Eilif emailed me again and stated that he had decided to sell his second unit, which was in mint condition. I placed a bid that I thought would be hard to beat and Eilif accepted it a few hours later. The unit was shipped in a timely manner. All paper work was professional and efficient, which made handling customs in the United States a piece of cake. Oh, did I mention that the unit and the tubes were packed immaculately in their original boxes? They were! And the tubes were all labeled, so it was easy for me to reinstall them properly.

Eilif is a trusted seller. Due to our excellent emails, his fantastic pictures, and our nice phone conversation, I felt comfortable pre-paying him $4000. The entire deal went very smoothly and we're both very happy with the transaction (especially me). Eilif Hansen gets my highest recommendation as a seller. You can buy with confidence!"
