So this is like a story from some movie :w00t:
Only 4 days ago I saw this for sale post here for a GF 767 which was located in Bulgaria with our member stormsven...
I always had that model on my wanted list but was seriously expecting to have to lay down a lot of cash for one from somewhere in Germany...I did not even had it on my schedule for considering to buy it.
But some mebers here convinced me (yeah, Fatdog, Jboogie, I mean you! ;-) ) To at least give it a try and ask this seller if he would get it to Germany somehow.
I got the surprising answer that he would do it! :w00t:
But not enough...it would come in a travelling bus with tourists in it and not by post because it is cheaper and safer this way...I was not really knowing what to think of that method...to be honest I was scpetical that it would actually reach me because I might miss the bus in berlin or the bus driver keeps it :lol:
But this morning at 11:00 I got a call from the bus driver that they are close to Berlin...I was like :w00t: and could not really believe it yet.
So then at 12:30 the bus came in from Sofia and I asked th bus driver for the package...he says "shhh!" and sends me to the back of the bus and there he opens some kind of secret compartment and pulls out a very well packed box!
Thank you for packing it so awesomely, Tony ;-) .
Only the handle looked out and he put it in my hand and said goodbye and so did I without realizing what just happened...
This was by far the coolest way to ever pick up a boombox :lol:
It does not compare to any custom trip or flea market find :-) . It was just so really unexpected and so cool.
So 4 days after writing an email, I hold this GF767 in my hands which is in way better condition than any of stormsven's phtos told :-D
Now it is sitting on my shelf next to his big brother. See for yourslef and enjoy the cool blue design :-D
