Thrift store Show and Tell

[Old school Scott]

Hi Gang,
Today at the GoodWill I saw this nice little sony.
nothing special but nice

 

[Old school Scott]

Then I stopped by this auction house and they had this

 

[MasterBlaster84]

Shazam! That Sharp would be going home with me.
I probably would have left the Sony.

 

[oldskool69]

And therein lies the question...DID SCOTT GET IT?!?!?

 

[Old school Scott]

But it wasn't for auction, it was for sale. 100 bucks cash.
I've just paid the bills and I don't have that on me right now.
I asked them to put it up for auction so that I could bid on it and they agreed if they didn't sell it in a couple of weeks they would.
It's nice. but it's not on my list

Cheers OSS
PS I left the sony as well.

Dang, that's a nice Sharp GF-8989. For $100 in a shop though, I would at least want a minty GF-8989 II.

Still...

 

[MasterBlaster84]

$100 is no deal. That shot of the back makes it look a little more questionable, I'll bet it sells for well under $100 at auction.

 

[monchito]

sure that auction will not be on ebay then it might go for the 100

 

[Master Z]

Sh!t! That's too bad about the price.
You should have seen if they would call the owner and deal. Is it a public aution or through ebay?

 

[MasterBlaster84]

sure that auction will not be on ebay then it might go for the 100

When he said it's at an auction house I assumed it would be local and not ePay. If it's ePay then forget about it because the price will run up to the too much level.

Sweet Sharp. Though a $100 seems a bit high, but then again I am cheap.

 

[MONOLITHIC]

That Sharp is nice, but from the back, not so nice.

But then again, what I'm wondering is, is that dust on the top of the box or are there bad fade spots or paint spots?

 

[Old school Scott]

That's just dust this Sharp is in good condition,
I want to bring some dish soap and a screw driver to the auction house and clean her up so badd!!

Is it a public aution or through ebay?

This is a public auction but I'm sure they got the price idea from Ebay.
-and if it hadn't been for me poking my head in every once and a while asking if he had any Boomboxes,
It might not even be a big deal. I could be wrong but it seems like it should have just gone to auction like most things.
No fret though, I already have a Sharp.
My next has to be a Lasonic Lpc-82 or L-30

Cheers OSS

Hi OSS-Nice boomers there!
I definately would like that 8989!! I need one with the sticker-preffereably mint!
I've been looking for a mint one-it's my personal grail.
Especially if I could find one with a box to!
Great finds,let us know on that 8989!-GB.

 

[ViennaSound]

Both are nice boxes!

 

[snoop918]

Looks like the same box that's listed on ebay.

 

[Old school Scott]

Oh Snap, it is.
I kiss it good bye.

Cheers OSS

 

[MasterBlaster84]

Yep that box just lost any chance of going for any reasonable sum, might end up in Houston now.
