Sale of my B&O kit

Very fair price offered to me for some B&O equipment that I was parting with. Process was very smooth, with Sound-Affair sending me suitable boxes and packaging material and arranging for their subsequent collection. Payment made straight to my account.

Would definitely recommend!

James came and collected my old B and O system, informing me all the way of his progress. Very chatty and nice to know that my music system would be loved by another client somewhere in the world. Gave me cash on collection as agreed and it was fab to know that it was going to be used again

Very prompt response and good overall experience.

Very prompt response to my enquiry. Very personable service and dealt with the collection very promptly. I was happy with the price offered and the overall experience. If you have old B&O equipment and are looking to sell it, this is an excellent way to do so.

Really easy and simple service

Really easy and simple service. James was professional and friendly and made everything very straightforward. I sold a few old B&O sound systems to him, he gave me a quote beforehand, then came and had a look and made payment on the spot.

Great service from James

Great service from James, both in terms of the packaging/delivery, but also in the Q/A during and after purchase of my BeoSound 9000 mk2.
Very happy with everything and looks/sounds fantastic.

A great experience dealing wit Sound-Affair

From the moment that I contacted Sound-Affair and they made me an offer my my Bang and Olafsen system they were totally honest and upfront. An offer was made and accepted and even though a couple of faults developed on the system while discussions about shipping etc were being made, they kept to their promise. Packing boxes were sent and returned at their expense , all shipping arrnged. The agreed price was paid into my account once they had received the delivery. The whole thing was conducted with professionalism and friendliness, both over the phone and online. I would have no hesitation on recommendiny the company, and James, to anyone wishing to deal with them

I’ve just sold my hifi and received the support and assistance to pack and transport the goods to SoundAffair. Just received the news that the system works perfectly and funds have been sent over. A pleasure doing business with James.

5 ORDERS MISSING FROM September 2023!! NO WAY!!

Dear Funs,

Unfortunately I experienced the OPPOSITE. I have 5 pending/"Processing" (paid) orders form September 2023 ...
And the seller EVEN DOES NOT REPLY to my mails from January (I wrote dozens and tried to contact them/him over the phone ... NO SUCCESS). At the beginning of our relationship it was OK, a bit late shipments but at least they/he communicated. I thought something serious happened with him/them, but seeing the current reviews, they are alive and serving customers .... So I DO USE THIS FORUM TO BRING INTO THEIR ATTENTION ... IT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO IGNORE C U S T O M E R ... such an unpolite and criminal way!!
