FS: GIK Acoustics 244 Bass Traps + D1 Diffusors
« on: 17 May 2008, 02:03 pm »
SOLD

Description:

This is a sale for 3 boxes of black GIK Acousitcs 244 Bass Traps.  If you are not familiar these are 5.5in deep bass traps that do wonders for room acoustics.  These perform much better at lower frequencies then foam could ever hope for, and also don't absorb to much high frequency info to deaden the sound.

If you are local this is a good way to save some $.  These sell for $130/box of 2, and shipping is usually $30 per box.  Two of the boxes have never been opened.  One of them was opened and one of the panels was mounted.

2 GIK D1 Diffusors SOLD

Description:

These are diffusors, and as their name implies they diffuse sound instead of absorbing it.  The benefit is that the signal ambiance is still there, it just isn't direct enough anymore to be distracting.  These are both in black and were purchased and mounted.  I had to drill a few holes in each to make them work in my room, but those could easily be covered up. 

Terms:

I am not shipping these as they would be cost prohibitive, nor do I have a vehicle that can transport them.  These are local pickup only, I am located in Suffield, CT.  If you know where Six Flags is I am ~2 miles up the road.  We can discuss other payment types but I prefer cash.  I will only sell to a buyer with verifiable good feedback.  My Feedback.

The diffusors I could ship, not sure what it would be though.  If I get no local interest in another week or so I will PM you Bigred.

The 244s won't fit in my car, plus I think it would be cost prohibitive to do so.

Man, a week ago we drove back from Cohasset to NJ.  I would have picked these up.

Put me in line for the diffusers, if Big Red doesn't take them.

How close is Suffield to NYC? I'm going to be visiting my sister this weekend and could possibly swing up and get them. Still have the boxes?

According to google maps it is about 130 miles.  4 of the panels are still in their unopened boxes, 1 of the boxes is open and 1 of the panels was taken out and going to be mounted but never was, the other has never been removed from the box.

I'm afraid that's too far of a drive :x Well if you do want to ship I'll give you $325.00 for all of them to 45322.

I don't have the ability to ship, they won't fit in my car.  Even if I did it would be ~$40 per box to ship them, and I wouldn't be willing to go below my asking price as it would be more of a hassle for myself.

No poblem. However I don't think it would be $40 a box to ship. I've had multiple shipments from GIK and the highest I paid was $24? Curious if they over charged you.

The difference in shipping may be due to business pricing plans.

From my facility through my company's UPS account I can ship for much less then if I ship things myself.  And since we're a nationwide company, the costs to ship things truck freight are insane compared to what I have to pay going to something like a Yellow Freight terminal.

Also, just as an FYI, coming from GIK, it's coming from Atlanta which is a major freight hub in addition to our business rate/bulk rate.

As TMT points out it is probably cheaper for GIK because they have a business account.  As Bryan points out you are also closer to them then you are to me.  It was actually ~$30/box to get to me, and for the performance I feel they undercharge for the panels. 

The $40 quote was from FedEx using the exact weight and size from me to you.
