I have a 50gb MK2a plus another MK2a with no hard drive in it. I also have a Darkstorm Dock, 4 Darkstorm lenses, the Empeg Lens Kit. I'm looking for $699 for the package (plus any shipping that is needed), I might be willing to part some of it out as well email me for questions or offers. justin@digxdesign.com

This sadly sounds like another case of dashboard incompatability...

well i could get it to fit the way i want it for about $500 in custom work, but since the ipod adaptor got announced by BMW its just too tempting to pass, so unfortunatly I'm going to have to part with the empeg.

Well I haven't given up (yet).
I may need to talk to you about your custom guy, since the estimates I've been getting to do it the way I want it are running a little bit higher.

Phatbox or ipod/glovebox won't really do it for me, due to the lousy interface.

Then again, my Karma-to-FM-modulator solution isn't really working for me either.

I have a Pending offer for the spare unit, without any of the extras. The package has now dropped to $549 This is whats included.

50gb MK2a (1x20GB 1x30GB)
(2) Rio Remotes
(2) Sleds
(2) Orginal Manuals
(2) Orginal Software CD's
(2) Power Adaptors
(1) Orginal Box, With Matching Serials Number To The Unit
(1) Darkstorm Docking Station

(1) Darkstorm Raised Dark Red
(1) Orginal Empeg Lense Kit With Amber, Red and Green
(1) Orginal Blue Lense
(1) Handy Custom Hard Shell Carrying Case
w/Key

Plus I'm going to leave the Hard Drives as is with the music and software, or you can request to have fresh drive's. I'm not sure how much shipping with be as of yet, I'm assuming $30, or if your local you can pick it up within the Bay Area.

I also might have some other extra's I have bought for this, which will just be a bonus and I will include them upon shipping. I just can't remember everything I have for it.

That's a great deal! 2 sleds!

Hell yeah that seems like a good deal. ::sigh:: Just another reason for me to get two more cars. The Roadmaster and Delorian are single DIN right? Hmmmmm.

But I'm curious, what's the Darkstorm Dock? Pictures? I don't even remember ever hearing about that even when Darkstorm was around.

its a fiberglass box as oppsed to the wooden one, its basically just a fiberglass shell that you need to either make your own dock, or have an extra one (hey there isan extra one in the package, thats odd!). It looks really clean I forgot how much I paid for it, like $50 or soo.

I have pending offers on both these items. Thank you everyone for your interestest. I am not longer taking offers at this time.

Justin I still have not recieved it yet.Could I please get the tracking number from you.Thanks for your time in replying back.

Justin you out there somewere,anyone out there no justin larsen.I am kinda starting to get worried.

Don't panic yet. Note that Justin's last post was the one above on 15/7/04 - he may not have visited the BBS since.

I am not woried anymore,He got ahold of me he was out of town.Thanks, But now I feel bad he said his grandfather passed away.I hope he had a long wonderful life and did not suffer long.

Don't you just hate it when you pay for stuff and then never recieve it,Is the person who bought his harddriveless empeg out there.Just wondering if you ever recieved it.

I picked up the empeg w. no drives. He's been in constant contact with me over the last few weeks. I mailed a check and he was waiting for the check to clear. I was also out of town for a week or so and told him to not rush anything. Last we talked, he's mailing it out tomorrow.

All looks good to me.

I sent him the money on the 18th on the 20 he said he shiped it out.I paid extra for ups so on the 24 when I did not recieve it I emailed him and asked for the tracking number he replied and said it was in his car and would get it for me.on the 27 he got back to me and said he maid a mistake on the shipping form and it got sent back to him.on the 29 he said he shiped it agian.So on the 5th I still had not recieved any thing I emailed him and he said he was in arizona because his grandfather passed away.he said he would be home on sunday the 8th it is now the 11th and I have not heard anything from him as to whats going on.He seems like a really nice guy.I would just like to no whats going on.

Did you try his AIM address? (assuming you use IM clients)... it's "digitaldrukqs" ... from his profile =]

He's a standup guy. I'm sure there's a legit reason.

I no he seems like a really nice person.I did not try to make him sound bad.I just wish he would get ahold of me and let me no whats up.my brother lives in redwood city I should of had him just pick the stuff up for me.I should have just drove down and picked it up my self but I was to lazy to drive two hours to get it,lol

typically, we use spaces after commas and periods. :P

We also capitalize the beginning of a sentence, and use other punctuation marks (like the apostrophe) as well.

A real stand up guy. Well it has been over a month now since I sent him 570 dollares. He told me he shipped it three diferent times now, what a joke. This time he said he would have me a tracking number by tomorow, that was three days ago and have not heard from him since. To top it off I am going thru a devorce and my wife is taking everthing including my kids. I really needed another f'in prob right now.

Whats up with people these days. I hope you get yours.

Justin, I'm beginning to grow concerned as well... I mailed you a personal check about a month ago, you emailed me saying you received the check on the 3rd of August, now it's two weeks later and I still have not gotten a tracking number from you..

I understand I initially told you "no rush" on the thing, and you were out of town due to a death in the family l until some time last week, but you've been home for nearly a week now and havn't shipped the player yet.

I doubt that you'd be trying to pull a scram after giving me your home mailing address and after having a long presence on this BBS, but you've got to communicate a bit more here. If there's some reason, even if it's silly, that you have not shipped our players yet (can't find a proper sized box, left our mailing addresss at home when you made a trip to UPS, had a flat tire) just let us know.

I've got Alpha8 and parts for a microphone here and no test player!

I would still be cautious and concerned about the guy. $500 or so that he received from both of you would still not justify for a scam.
I have a little story on something similar. I bought an old used laptop from a guy on e-bay. Turned out the laptop the guy sold me was stolen - all of somebody's personal info/e-mail correspondence was still there; even more - the laptop came without any kind of attachments (e.g. power supply, mouse, software, etc.). Luckily, I had a pretty good deal going on this. However, this guy started receiving negative feedbacks for some pricy items (brand new laptops, projectors, etc.). Turned out, he even copied others' listings and pictures and when people paid him, he would send packed telephone books instead of laptops.
I guess I was the last guy who legitimately bough something from him. Another interesting scam story (or at least its conclusion) you can read HERE

[censored] out of luck. I no I can drive to his house if he still lives there,but I really do not want to get in any trouble right now. My brother lives in redwood city he is a sheriff he said he would go buy there for me but I really do not want to get him involed. Man this really sucks.

Wednesday was the last I heard from him, and he told me he still hadn't shipped it yet. I havn't heard from him since.

Anyone have any words of advice? Part of me keeps wanting to wait another day, another part of me wants this all over...

I was wondering the same thing. Can we do anything legal with somthing like this.

Is there anyone in the bay area that knows who this guy is. Justin Larsen ?

I see in some of his post that tony and a few others met him in san francisco one time. Did any of you hapen to get his phone number or maybe no were he works.570 from me and 200 from brad is alot of money to lose for some people.
