I was watching that one too - I'm so glad I hit a $75 buy-it-now last week on one that is minty :yes: :drool: .

These prices make me want to sell all my boxes, but what kind of collector would I be with no boxes :huh: :lol: ?

When I see these auctions It makes me glad I have already built a collection I'm more than happy with. :yes:
If I never bought another boomer off of ePay I would be just fine. :thumbsup:

I told you the values went up :lol: but Noooo. I'm telling you. Regular Buyers out there are preparing for summer fun. It's overpriced for us boomer fans but they think its the right price.

US = :nonono: :thumbsdown: THEM: :thumbsup: :ebay: BID BID BID!!!!

That dude didn't deserve even $200 for that box. His description was very limited, no comments about how well it works (he just thinks we should trust him about that), and he didn't have enough photos. Plus in my opinion even if that box WAS in near-mint shape it isn't worth more than $250-300. Sure, it's a very well-built box, but it's no M70 in the sound department........ and it often suffers electrical contact problems.

I was watching this one also and like so many times before it is tax season helping the boomers skyrocket in price...Because of my taxes I was able to purchase a few georgeous grails including Conion c100, Sharp GF767 and my new National RX5700 :thumbsup: But I believe I was fast and smart and was able to get these at a fraction of what they could have went for :-O Some buyers are just bidding like its the last boomer on ebay :huh: :hmmm: :hmmm:

I hope the buyer is happy with it, because he took a huge $$ risk trusting the seller's description.

Because from what I can see, the tuner glass has scratches and the top aluminum edge has dings. How can that be mint, new condition?

In my opinion, it's a good used example but not mint and certainly nowhere near new.

I took a closer look and you're right. Seller was misleading...
