I got my email from Ebay that he cancelled the auction......Good luck with it.

Looking at the bid history, the top bidder at the time bid over $300. And with several days to go, it's interesting to guess what the final price might've been.

Not if Bill gets it first.... Looks like he is either gonna snipe this before the auction ends OR he's gonna camp out in front of the guys house for 4 more days.
It's funny you said this about camping out in front of the house because that's exactly what I was doing when you posted this :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks for all the reply's guys, this bbx is definetly a looker :drool: This box was pretty damn clean in and out. My fiance detailed all the chrome as good as its gonna get, the deck keys have the most pitting on them but got as much out as possible. This box had been opened before but I believe by someone who knew enough about them. The one small knob on it had been repaired and was a very good job I may add :-D When I took the deck out I noticed something real strange ..small 2-3" wires (red, black,white) scattered on pc board ( as shown in pics) I have no idea where they go or what for so if anyone knows please chime in...They dont seem to be affecting the tuner, deck or input and sound what so ever :hmmm: :hmmm: Their are a total of 10....
As for sound I got to tell you guys Its like Glu said the quality don't seem to be there for me, just yet...meaning I have heard better....It really sucks in the bass department but then again the small speakers which have no foam edge will do that...But maybe it will sound better with time as Glu's did :thumbsup: :thumbsup: The deck works great too, I did have trouble figuring out the tps but I will learn it all... Again this is a beautiful looking bbx from which was never released to states as you can tell by fm tuner which starts at 76 :yes: I am so glad I was able to purchase this fantastic piece of history :cool: :cool: :w00t:
