i am getting older. i don't want "complicated" any more.--
year ago, probably 20 or so, i bought a bose model 5 lifestyle music center, complete with cd player & am/fm radio unit, the base/amp and five pairs of jewel speakers. it worked wonderfully, but was a pain in the butt to lug around and set up. about five years ago i went to sleep listening to music, and when i woke up i found that i had fried the cd player/radio unit by leaving it sitting on top of another unit, a dvd player.
i have not purchased a used unit, because i no longer require that much ooomph.
i would like to acquire a bose wave system, (used is o.k., if working) w/ auxiliary cd changer by trade. you get the entire lifestyle model 5 system, complete w/ the defunct/damaged cd changer and radio unit (again, "fried" and not working), and i get a functioning bose wave system with the 3-cd changer included.
by my lights, it is a pretty good trade from your perspective. if i understand the net advertisements the lifestyle system w/ the big base and the jewels is still very expensive, and the bose wave system is considerably less so. and, the bose wave will have sufficient power for my aging ears.
i do not want something that is not working. i already have that. and, i understand that you may not view an non-working system very enthusiastically, either. so, both sides are looking at some risk in this exchange, if it is to take place.
let me know if you are interested via the comment section. i can contact you privately from there, and we can discuss this. i want to try and eliminate any risk involved, and make sure that we are both protected. but, as it stands, my bose has just been gathering dust since the cd player/radio went out. so, i am willing to accept some economic loss to unload it.
