This may well be a nice example but I paid less than that for a white Beosystem 7000 and a pair of Beolab 5000 panel speakers!:

...perhaps it has made at a nice address sticker.....

Actually that doesn't surprise me. Quite rare, usually not working and sought after.

They were either only fit for the skip or you got the bargain of a lifetime!

 

Graham,

they were bargains of a lifetime!  The Beolab 5000's are mint and cost 399 EUR including 2 brand new powerlink cables.  I bought a pair of wall brackets for 30 EUR.  All on eBay of course. 

The white Beosystem (minus the turntable) came in a job lot of AV9000 TV, Beosystem 7000 including a Beolink 7000 and table stand, LCS/Beolab 3500, a white MX 3500 TV, all cables and masterlink equipment.  all for 800 EUR.  I left behind another system by a Japanese company as I didn't want it and had no space in the car!.  Again, all eBay purchases.

Living in France gives me nice access to Germany where there is a lot of good B&O stuff available if you're prepared to travel to collect it.  I've found people selling job lots as they can't be bothered splitting it up.  Seperated, they could get much, much more for their items - though I'm not complaining.

Now it's time to clean up my Beolit 1000's.

Regards to all and have a good Christmas.

Dave.

I purchased a refurb Beolit 1000 from this seller.   he is top notch.  I paid about $650 USD though.  It is fantastic and restored.  Almost like Frede at Classic Audio, in fact this seller knows Frede. 

SO, although this is expensive so is the stuff from Classic Audio...but worth it if that is what you want.

I would also add that for everything sold in any price, there is always a buyer.

But if it's in mint condition the price is slightly high!
