My Panasonic DMP-BD10A Will Be Up For Sale Soon...

Anyone interested in buying it?

There's nothing wrong with the player -- I have ALL original shipping materials and the manual, etc. -- I am just looking for a new player that does better DVD upscaling and bitstreams TrueHD and Master Audio tracks...the unit was $600 new...make me an offer...

I will also have a Marantz CC-67 5-disc compact disc changer for sale as well; this is a beautiful unit and has served me for over 10 years now...the only issue it has is with the programming control -- it doesn't seem to want to keep the memory. Otherwise, it's in absolutely mint condition.

Anyone interested?

Okay...my Marantz CC-67 CD changer WILL be available for sale ASAP...let me know if anyone is interested...

Because my other thread about this was prematurely locked based on an "illegal" double posting rule -- as if I did something that terrible that harmed someone -- and because it's clear that this "rule" was only enforced because it's me and encouraged, of course, by someone who continuously speaks to me in the third person, I'm enforcing and stressing this upcoming sale here to emphasize its relevance and opportunity...

While this was pissed on in my other thread for being "not suitable yet because the player ISN'T for sale YET," :rolleyes: I'm explaining the offer once more...sometime between now and the holiday season coming up, I'll have my Panasonic 'BD10A Blu-ray player for sale with ALL original packing materials and boxes, manuals, etc. and will be accepting offers on the asking price.

As of RIGHT NOW, I do have a Marantz CC-67 5-disc CD changer that is for sale -- even though this isn't a home theater component -- and would be glad to hear offers on this as well.

First, no offense to any BD10a owners who are happy with their players, but there's 3 reasons I would not buy a Panasonic BD10a:

1. It's a discontinued model which gets minimal support from Panasonic. I think it's safe to assume there will be no big firmware updates with new features; most likely it'll only be bug fixes.

2. At this point, virtually any entry-level BD player, or higher, will give you better performance and the latest bells and whistles.

3. There have been countless posts complaining about the performance of this specific player on various audio/video forums.

So, if you're thinking about buying a Blu-ray player sometime between now and the holiday season, a used BD10a might not be the best bang for your buck!

While I know why "Burn" is trying to disuade people from purchasing my player (personal reasons), it's really not fair nor nice for a member to do this -- that said, yes, it's an outdated player, of course, being that Panasonic has had two models succeed this '10A...there's nothing to hide here about that. BUT, there is STILL nothing wrong with my particular player and it's not the reason I'm getting rid of it -- I am offering this for sale to someone who may want to first be jumping into the Blu waters and don't want to spend a great deal on their first player...as far as the "bad performance" Burn speaks of, the only issues I've really had with this has been the DVD upconversion, which has been notoriously weak, and that's the biggest reason for upgrading to a different player for me. The player also doesn't support bitstream TrueHD nor does it do Master Audio -- and if that's not important to anyone, then this player may be okay. Other than that, there haven't been any Blu-ray playback glitches since I've owned it.

So please don't let this prior post dissuade you if you're interested in this deck...like I said, I have all original packaging and manuals. This can be a good player for a bedroom even, if you're looking to get Blu-ray into the bedroom at a good cost or maybe put it in the kids' room...

What is your problem?

You are not supposed to even be posting "for sale items" in the BD player section where you posted the duplicate post. That is what THIS section is for. Someone else asked in that thread WHY you double posted which IS against the rules. Maybe you should read those rules sometime. ;)

I actually didn't delete that double posted thread you created in the WRONG SECTION, but just locked it since the other poster in that thread gave a link to this section where you also had the exact same thread started in the CORRECT section. I did this so you would get the added exposure you apparently were looking for, while stopping duplicate threads from growing and people getting confused as to WHICH duplicate thread they might have previously posted a response in.

THAT is exactly WHY they do not want duplicate threads all over the site and have a RULE against such activity. Again, I actually bent the rules a little FOR YOU by not deleting that other duplicate thread in the WRONG section, and this is how you respond?

It has nothing to do with WHO posted it, but rather WHAT was posted and where. This site is for ALL members and not for one person to disregard the rules because he doesn't like them. If you don't like them go elsewhere, but if you stay you have to follow the same rules everyone else does. ;)

Now in regards to you posting a potential "future" sale in the For Sale section, this is not what this section is for. Think about it from the point of view of someone who is actually selling an item NOW. If everyone starts posting about future potential items for sale, then it could push their ACTUAL CURRENT For Sale item off the first page where people are most likely to see it. When you DO actually put this item up for sale, would you want it pushed to a much less visible location on the 2nd or 3rd page because 50 people also posted threads stating that they will be selling something in the next 3+ months?

Lets try to be considerate of others here as well and just simple follow the rules. Then there will be no issues. ;)

What is your problem?

No -- the question is what is yours....

You are not supposed to even be posting "for sale items" in the player section. That is what THIS section is for. Someone else asked in that thread WHY you double posted which IS against the rules. Maybe you should read those rules sometime. ;)

I DID read the rules -- what about when I suggested to someone in the BLU-RAY REVIEWS SECTION that one of his posts was inappropriate because it wasn't a REVIEW -- did you respond to that or tell me I was right?

I actually didn't delete that double posted thread you created in the WRONG SECTION, but just locked it since that other poster gave a link to this section where you also had the exact same thread started in the CORRECT section. I did this so you would get the added exposure you apparently was looking for, while stopping duplicate threads from growing and people getting confused as to WHICH duplicate thread they might have previously posted a response in.

People getting confused? Who would get confused? I added it to the Blu-ray player section because I'm selling a BLU-RAY PLAYER...:rolleyes:...then I realized it belonged in the "For Sale" area so I put it there; since I'm not a mod, I can't close down original threads myself.

THAT is exactly WHY they do not want duplicate threads all over the site and have a RULE against such activity. Again, I actually bent the rules a little FOR YOU by not deleting that other duplicate thread in the WRONG section, and this is how you respond?

Oh brother...I'm so sorry...I didn't know -- how could I? -- that you were helping me by closing down that thread but keeping it visible...I am so sorry...

It has nothing to do with WHO posted it

Oh YES it does -- and you know it, based on your quick response after Nik and Chris both jumped on it....

but rather WHAT was posted and where. This site is for ALL members and not for one person to disregard the rules because he doesn't like them. If you don't like them go elsewhere, but if you stay you have to follow the same rules everyone else does. ;)

What are you talking about? I never assumed the rules were JUST for me...

Now in regards to you posting a potential "future" sale in the For Sale section, this is not what this section is for. Think about it from the point of view of someone who is actually selling an item NOW. If everyone starts posting about future potential sales then it could push their ACTUAL For Sale item off the first page where people are most likely to see it. When you DO actually put this item up for sale, would you want it pushed to a much less visible location on the 2nd or 3rd page because 50 people also posted that they will be selling something in the next 3+ months?

Is this really necessary? I'm going to ruin this site because I claimed I will have a product up for sale soon? Not EVERYONE is saying that, as you pointed out, so the pages won't be "pushed" to two or three pages plus...my one post didn't kill that structure...

Lets try to be considerate of others here as well and just simple follow the rules. Then there will be no issues. ;)

Do you see how I reply to everyone's replies to me? With sincere thanks, admiration and respect...I AM very considerate of others in here.

You just don't get it do you? Do you actually READ what others post or do you just read it how you want to read it?

No. You seem to think the rules are there for ONLY YOU to break, since you repeatedly have broken them. That was the point. They are there for everyone, and just by you saying your ONE post about a future sale will not disrupt the section which tells me you are only looking at this from YOUR own POV. But others doing the same thing WILL disrupt the section, so we cannot allow one to do it and not allow everyone else.

My question posed to you was what if everyone else does what you did about posting about a future potential sale and it pushed your actual For Sale post, when you DO post it, to a later page when you do end up actually selling it? Do you see my point now? ONE post done like this is NOT the problem but if everyone does what YOU DID then it effects all the other sale posts here. Where does it end? Why should YOU be able to do this and no one else? If I do not enforce it with you then how do I enforce it with any one else? The point is that is WHY we have rules. It seems simple to me at least.

Let me give you a scenario:

You do actually decide to sell it and post that it is for sale. Now lets say that 50 people each start a thread stating that at some future time they will be selling something and these threads push your current sale posting to page 3 here. Would that be fair to you? No it would not, which is WHY what you are doing is not fair to the other members who have current posts already here. One post is not the issue but how can we selectively enforce rules? We cannot, so we enforce the rules for everyone equally.

We have rules to govern 2000+ people at any one time here not just one or two people and that is why rules are necessary, and that they are followed. One person posting ONE thing is not usually a problem but if everyone else does it, then it IS a problem. How do we decide which ONE post gets allowed against the rules? We cannot, so we do not play that game of figuring ONE post is not the problem. ;) When ONE post breaks the rules it IS a problem and gets corrected.

Anyway,

Please let me know anyone if you're interested in either of these items, and we can work out a price for them; as I said, the CD changer is available now. Thank you.
