What would be its real value?

[ea1987]

Hi guys,I'm having some business on a sanyo found in internet..the seller posted only 1 photo and he said that everything works; I'm emailing with him in these days and he said that he will send me other more detailed pictures. I know it's hard to make an offer in this condition (only 1 photo) but, for you, what would be the value of this box?It's a Sanyo m 9990!I offered 30€ which means 43$!
This is the only picture of the radio I have in my hands till now!

IMO this price is about right But most important is how much you are willing to have it . And im not thinking a lot when im buying boxes - if i have the cash and wont it im jumping in. Its always risky anyway. Good luck Andrea.

Hi Andrea

If you like it, so the price is ok.
Paid the same for my RADIONE

Myself i thought "puh, littlebit expensive"
But in fully working condition it is "fair"

both boxes have something together:
real tweeters, VUs, clock, size,....

Love the VUs at the SANYO

btw: can you get it yourself, or with additional shipping costs?

Maybe I can get it by myself cause the seller lives in Piacenza, a city 1 hour far from Milan!I have to say, I like this box but I was thinking to buy it in order to customize it!I have a friend who works like a graphic and he is very good in painting..by the way, if I have it in my hands,then I will decide what to do with it!

I have seen those boxes go for $150-200 on Ebay

You should get it yourself.
So you can check all functions.

Then pimp it

It's a very good price.... But if it's in good shape I would leave it as original and try to find a beat up box to customize being that we are collectors and it's hard to find clean original 100% bbx's This is just my opinion.... Good Luck

I agree. I have seen these M9990k's go for $299 on BIN's.

$20??...are things that rough across the pond? Seems like a very low offer, but if they accept good for you.

about custom: i would not do a "wild job"
But take a look at mellys red M70 in the avatar, that´s what i would do with it...

You better snap up all those cheaper than piss boxes before people figure out how cool they are and start throwing all of them on ePay.

It is always the tiny cities and tiny countries where good deals can be found at flea markets. In big American cities it's mostly a waste of time.....the markets have already been scouted by professional vultures

That's true for just about any old collectible, most of the collectibles that are priced reasonably or lower locally sell in a flash when they do come up which is pretty rare these days. Then we have the resellers, who are working hard at snapping up the remaining deals, trying to sell these items locally at full blown ePay prices.

Except for the "tiny-tiny" cities in tiny countries which don't even have Flea Markets like in Mérida... :annoyed:

Bad news for me: the seller had already sold this great sanyo,without advise me (we were in contact by email!)..
