    So Close

    This cartridge is so close to me geographically I can practically smell it.  Anyone want to guess final price?

    $378.55 (and a probable disappointment to the buyer if he intends to use it). Would be a very nice collectible though as all the paraphernalia is there.

    Twice as much as it would have been if you didn't advertise it here  Laughing

    I have no doubt someone else will win it!  My personal rule of thumb is never pay more than $100 for something without seeing it and listening to it in person, unless I personally know the seller.

    For the record, I'll guess $285.

    Hmm

    Lots to pay for just a collectible.

    Collectibles often sell at insane price levels Wink But (as Tournedos wrote) I guess the buyer will be disappointed if he (or she) intends to use it.

    Whoa...$335 with less than 6 hours to go.  I think Mika is going to be right on with his guess.

    mediabobny was much more accurate! It was twice as much as *I* guessed! LaughingLaughingLaughing

    Re: So Close

    Yeah, $760, that's whacked.

    One man's treasure is another man's collectible that will stay in the box forever, I guess.

    Re: So Close

    If the winner wants me to pick it up for them to save the $5 shipping charge, be glad to do it.

    Or, to put it in another way... if you hadn't doubled the price by mentioning it here, my original guess would've been only 0.4% off Laughing

    Gee. Quite a bit of money for a cart that probably won't work anywhere near to the spec measurements that came with it.

    To be honest, I think this series of cartridges isn't quite as eager to disintegrate as the MMCx. My Beogram 6000 is still running the 25€ MMC20EN I got on fleaBay, and the couple of 20S's I've received with turntables are fine as well. Still, I'd tuck this stuff in a drawer if I was the winner...
