I would never buy from him again.

I bought a 9500 CD mechanism from him that was sold to me in perfect working condition. It was installed in an otherwise perfect 9500 and guess what? It didn't work! I made contact with him and never got aresponse

surprise surprise

avoid at all costs!

I enjoy seeing older products commanding high prices (aka rising ij popularity again), although I disagree with the misleading descriptions some of these sellers seem to get carried away writing!

I have a nice pair of white series 3702's which I would happily accept 1/4 of that price for!

Llewelyn:

I'm interested in this seller. Not sure why - very overpriced

Who is it? Follow the link by the OP

Does he come on this forum? Occasionally, generally to promote his sales but not really a contributing member

Is he reputable? Dunno - try looking at his feedback rating, I wouldn't personally buy any of his goods as when you ask searching questions his answers come up very short, up to the point where he cannot answer any more so... he doesn't...

He seems to sell alot of B&O stuff... He does doesn't he? so fair play to him for his persistance with his relistings which always seem to find a buyer (although his stone effect CX50's seem to be struggling - I HATE those with a vengeance)

Having said all that HERE'S another really overpriced listing ..... absolutely ridiculous... another case of the decimal point being in the wrong place. Read the description & you'll see they aren't actually mint at all & have marks underneath where they have been connected/screwed? to stands & I'm sure I'm not seeing things with the mark on top of one of them.

And this, £120 and its broken!!

I've given up with this seller & his sky high prices. Seems to look at the going rate & double the price. He does persist & sell these things eventually to people who don't know any better - or at least cannot wait for a week until another one comes along in which case they deserve to be ripped off.

Take a look at the S120 stands for £130 & the RL stands for a bargain £140 :- the mind boggles.

It would be fine if his items were mint or even properly refurbished (ask him how he does his speaker refoaming and he'll tell you they came to him like this so he cannot vouch for the methods used - PAH!). His use of the "refurbished item" tag hence does rather grate with me along with the often used "rare" item tag but he isn't alone there as a seller.

I'd pay that much for M70 trumpet stands.

A complete, working (except for no cartridge on the turntable), cosmetically nice 6500 system with MCP plus 2 other remotes was listed on Orlando's CraigsList for $450 this past week. Um, correct me if I'm wrong but that was a steal.

Can't believe the prices.
