Anyone notice the slew of BV5 auctions on eBay North America? In addition to Beolab 5 auction(s)... I have never seen these high dollar items on eBay in multiples... and many of them look legit!

It will be interesting to see if these sell.  In todays market a 42" 480P TV is about as desirable as a 40" CRT.  Even if these are second generation versions they are only 720p sets.  Not a hot commodity in todays 1080P world.  Best used as a boat anchor or a very large door stop. I doubt any one will meet the $7500 opening bid on the one set.  Check back in 6 days.

Agree that this is a somewhat optimistic sale - not heard on Beovisions selling for a premium over list and certainly not an older one! However the picture of the later BV5s is in my view superb and certainly in the UK is still worth considering. Considering one myself actually!!
