Hmm, possibly,

Looks mint though, nice to know who bid on it.....

I like the description "looks new", but listed as used. Which one is it??

That's nice and all but I don't think any GF-777 is worth half that much. To me, a 777 is a common and almost always seen bottom of the line box.
If that were the much rarer and far better looking GF-1000 in similar condition, his price would much more sense.

well it can be used and still look new, instead of saying mint

[redbenjoe]

except it THAT seller had a mint w/box gf1000 -
his BIN might be $ 2500 !!

Something is Fishy.......................

Don't know why, but those chinese sellers seem to have excellent luck with GF-777 sales. Is there some boombox pheremone that buyers find alluring? USA sellers of 777's don't seem to have nearly that level of success.

my guess --

since these chinese sellers offer several dozens of 777s each year --

they have 'invested' a small sum in the set-up - to print these "OEM" box cartons--

then -- they are cool -
instead of throwing a new carton over each 777 -
they select the top 20% condition models -

then call it 'almost brand new in box'

the $20 carton --adds $2-$500 to the BIN price


then --every so often - they 'create' a $1500 sale -
to keep 'the market" way up there

Well, I know they are smart, but c'mon.....

If this is a legitimate sale, I bet the buyer will be crying his eyes out when the GF-777 NOT double boxed and there are labels and stamps all over that pretty OEM Sharp packing box.

Now that you mention it Mr. Ira, that box print does seem way dark and nice to be some years old...

 

[shane higgins]
