Nice! Now watch ebay prices go up :lol:
I was thinking that too. Now that Lyle's book is out and has been mentioned in Playboy and NY Times, it could spark another round of boombox nostalgia. :-)

Awesome,yes. Good for prices, no. I guess those that said this year was the year to buy could actually turn out to have been right.

But on the good side, the value of the ones you already have is going up at the same time. Of course, to me the ones I have are absolutely priceless. I guess that's because they are few in number.

A review like this makes me want to sit down and read my copy again! :yes:

There's really only one box I truly want from eBay, so highs prices don't mean much to me, thank goodness... Still, I almost feel for those who are just starting out...

Almost...

i am sure the book will do well.
lyle is well organized and his marketing of the book seems to be quite clever.

Awesome!! It's nice to see this hobby and Lyle's book get mainstream exposure!! I'm also thinking that you may see a surge in the prices because of it though!

i was thinking that this good publicity would not change the $$ general
values or create many more collectors --

but it will bring 1,000s of of brand new customers into the market-
who just want to buy ONE classic style boomer --
to to get into the flow of it.

Yes I think Ira is exactly right.....
well.....

what if it creates a glut of sellers looking to cash in on the publicity

Just this evening we were headed for the Sushi drive thru and there was a homeless man, (they read the NY Times a lot cause they sell them on Sundays here at the intersections) but I digress, this guy was selling a boombox, telling people they will be a good hedge against the coming acopolicks,
some rant about police and good humor bars.

I got the book a month ago and absolutely LOVE it, and use it as a means to prove to friends and family I am not the only one... (not that it matters...) This article will help too. :yes:

Mono was right though, although I have been in for about a year, I am still only three boxes deep and worry that this could hamper my ability to get those last two pieces on my list... Oh well...

I guess in that regard I am stoked to have some many of my dream boxes.

With that said, I ordered my book tonight. Will have it in a week or so. Can't wait.

SEE, I'M NOT CRAZY!
