Living on HOPE!
It is how much they value for their box!
Buyers don't have to pay that much!
They are looking for a Boombox Onassis out there....

I have commented before such threads but i will stop doing so.Maybe ignorance is the best way to kill such practice
For every seller there is a buyer and for every buyer there is a seller
In a free market anybody can ask anything for everything
But at the end m8 with the high expectations "It's not important what you want in life,but what you get at the end"
Some members know what i am talking of since we engaged such conversations before
I give 1 banana and 2 apples to the seller for this box if he likes!

I believe it's vintage Moscow on instagram and his boxes are pristine but this guy is ruining the market now I'm starting to hear things like blah blah blah m90 sells for 5000$ on eBay noooo it doesn't sell for that it's only listed at that price and the culture of cross reference items for value on eBay is in full force and it's hurting the collectors market big time happy hunting fellow boomboxers because the hunt for cheaper radios just got real

I think eBay should charge every week for an item that is on their page for the publicity of advertisement whether it sells or not. You have to pay to put anything in the paper. This would cut this "I'm gonna post something forever on eBay with a ridiculous price that I really don't want to sell" stuff out. I don't know about anyone else but I get tired of seeing the same boxes all the time that are Never going to sell. It just clutters up eBay for the people who are actually trying to sell something and gets in the way of items that I or anyone else actually wants to bid on.
There's one guy in the Russian Federation who currently has 117 listings for sale with prices ranging from a low of $1500 to many times that. Every collector who's browsed boomboxes has seen his ads. He has a feedback score of 5. When he sells all his boomboxes, he will be a multi millionaire. And if you look at his sold listings, it shows 20 which suggests that he's well on his way. Except if you look at the buyers, of the 20, one guy supposedly bought 7 listings and there are a few more with multiple purchases. Also, amongst the 7 that was supposedly sold to that big buyer, on January 05 was a GF-9494 that remarkably, is now an active listing with the exact same photos. Frankly, I don't know how many of these units he actually did sell and how many are bogus (there definitely are bogus sales). But 117 active listings tells me he put a whole lot of effort into building up his inventory. Actually, his units do look like they are in good shape, and by flooding the market with all high priced units, it may serve to desensitize the buyer pool into thinking that the high prices are normal. The only problem? He tries to peddle the most ordinary of boomboxes at stratospheric prices so that a buyer searching for a particular model might see his $1500 boombox amongst listings of the same model for under $100. See enough of those and it's clear that this practice will undermine his credibility. His only hope is to sell to people who don't bother to do any kind of due diligence. I'm just saying. But in truth, I would not be surprised if his actual sales number is less than the digits on most peoples left hand, and this includes people who have had amputations.
