Contest Prizes |
We will be giving away a variety of high-end audio toys,
as motivation and as a thank you to members who submit
reviews. These prizes vary in age, source, and condition. Some of them are new in the box, some
demos, some vintage, and some are in need of tender loving care. We hope
most of them will find a good home with an Audiogon member. Even if you
yourself would not use them, perhaps there is someplace on the net you could sell
them ;-)
Drawings will be held weekly, to select one lucky winner per week for twelve
weeks in a row. The first drawing will be held on Monday July 22nd.
Every Monday thereafter for eleven more weeks, another random winner will be
drawn. The prizes will be awarded in the order listed below.
All winners will be notified by
email, and may be followed up with a phone call to confirm shipping
details. Please be sure to read the related topic "Contest
Rules", including the part about international shipping costs.

Note
about the prizes:
These prizes consist of a wide variety of products, which were sourced from a
wide variety of situations. They include new in box items, review
specimens, demo pieces, and some well used but not quite used-up pieces. There are even
some vintage items in this collection. Most of these items work perfectly, but
some of them may require minor reconditioning to
function fully. We have attempted to make notes where appropriate.
Please consider these items to be "as is", with no guarantees of any
sort. Further, if you subsequently sell any prizes you receive, your
buyers will have no assurances from Audiogon. If you win and you want
your prizes, it is completely at your own risk.
