oops..that's a pair of Mackie SRM450 powered speakers with all leads, Proel speaker stands, and a soundcraft EFX8 mixer with onboard lexicon effects processor....oh..and a spare speaker stand..lol

well...........probably normally go for about £625 -650...
however seeing you must have got a bargain...I'll go for £425 on the grounds you got the speakers cheap and when you collected they decided to throw in the mixer and stands :o)
PS Welcome to the Mackie owners club! Be prepared for compliments on your sound LOL

yeh might have been a little stingy...are they the V2's?
OK then...I'll add another £150...should be £725-750...you paid erm..£620?....only just noticed the only used 10 times bit!)
(thought you might have got a super bargain LOL)

unless the ooeerrrrr is a red herring, and you got them for £350 or so because the person who sold them didn't put a reserve, had them ending at 4am on a Saturday and you had to collect from Orkney or somewhere??
