Jim Naseum Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 You'd think that in the ONE photograph of the listing he would pick one that doesn't show broken crap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZEUS121996 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 He's 10 minutes from my house, should I tell him we as a group are interested? Just to get in the door and shoot some pics. These have been on the Bay for at least a year Mark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS121996 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I sent him my number, lets see if he calls. Anyone want to go with me? Opus, TNR, Derrick? Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) "I don't have an inventory list, but trust me, it's worth almost a half-million." This is proof positive, it's easy to accumulate audio gear, harder to get rid of it. I did see on his "partial" list he had some Bose 301 speakers, which I like, BTW. Even on the used market, those are worth at least $150, so if someone can find another $419,000, there's your bargain. And you're right, Mark, that ad or its variant has been around for at least a year, probably more. For today August 30, the auction has ended.

ZEUS121996 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 You will be happy to know he called me back and said I could come by and look at everything. But he doesn't have time to let me take pictures of everything and test anything. SO who wants in on this action? :D Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I am thinking that if I had a potential buyer for ANYTHING at $419,000.00 I would find the time for pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, see, you are missing the point.....you have to TRUST HIM that everything is awesome, it is worth his asking price, and that most importantly, he knows more than you, or, for that matter, anyone else....

I live just a few miles from where a couple of the terrorists took their flight training for 9/11. Very much tongue in cheek. This has to be a phony auction or we are asking for another 9/11 because commercial greed overwhelms common sense. Or the guvmnts behind the auction just to see who'd buy one.

Fjd Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 This auction seems to come up on the forum about once a year. Minermark found it last year listed at $499,999.99 in the thread below. This thread continues to validate my thought on just how much more difficult it is to sell vintage audio items for high dollars than it is buying and/or hoarding the vintage audio items over a period of years. https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/152417-gentelmen-we-have-a-clear-winner-hereomg/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
