I know there have been a few ideas about old vs new recently, but I had an idea today that might work - how about every month WHFS&V buy a piece of kit from eBay and review it as they would any new piece of kit, but at the price paid for it? So for example, you could review my £212 Primare D20 or my A20 at £315, against price comparable new kit....

There'd have to be some rules:

1) it has to be available Buy It Now - you probably have better things to do than wait for an auction to end

2) It has to have been WHF-reviewed previously and have attained at least 4 stars.

3) The BIN price has to be no more than, say, 50% of original price.

Then after the review you can put it back on eBay for the same price (where it'll be snapped up by a reader) or give it away as a prize!

There, I've saved you a brainstorming meeting this month - that'll be twenny guineas.

That would be like eating 20 jars of Marmite.

You could construct a valve amp from the 20 glasses used in the drinking test, get World Audio Designs to build it, market it through WHF and then sell it as a unique, er, thing on Eb......I'll just shuttup now I think.
