Why buy from thehifiguy

Having been trading on ebay since 2001, you can buy in confidence from a genuine UK VAT registered business seller. I`m not a private seller avoiding ebay fees like some others!

Please remember that many of the items that I sell can be as much as 40 years old. Even though they are fully serviced, they are still vintage items and will have signs of use and age.

We only use Parcelforce and Royal Mail. No Evri or Yodel here!

I also have a established youtube channel where you can see many of the items I have sold in the past being working on.
