peredoz Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Hey @Gypsy, No hard feelings here; I wish there were more of them so we could get better prices, but an auction is an auction. If I understand correctly you did get the other one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsy Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) @peredoz Nope.. the 2nd one went even higher. I have gotten a couple little things which is probably not good since this will be a 1400 mile road trip to pick up stuff. But then Im not named Gypsy for nothing!

ClaudeJ1 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Not much real "high end stuff" there, except old McIntosh, and even then............I has the HH Scott Integrated tube when I was 20, and the MC C-26 at 21. That's so really old stuff. If you guys really want lots of vintage stuff, talk to Moses at Ecotopia, West Bloomfield, Michigan. He even has Cornwalls and just TONS of gear so you have to walk through the store sideways, not kidding. No bidding wars. http://www.ecotopiausa.com/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope whatever you got is in top shape and picking it up is painless. I'm getting mine shipped--too much road trip for me to stomach.

Gypsy Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 @peredoz I honestly NEED a decent road trip every month or I start getting stir crazy. This last month has been a rough one around here to it will be good for my soul. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you were able to get one! Gosh, I remember when Oppo was closing their players out...these units were dirt cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsy Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 @tidmack And now anything near $2k is pretty much a steal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still use an Oppo as my CD player...best sounding unit I've had over the years. I'm not surprised their gear fetches money like this.

Gypsy Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 @tidmack I dont have a 205 but I do still have an OPPO 83SE for CD/SACDs and it does pretty well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
