Still kicking myself. Some time ago I sold a white Beomaster 3000-2. It was a beauty and I have no idea why I sold it [:'(] I'd buy it back in a heart beat even though I have no need for it.

A new BM4400 in rosewood that I had bought to replace a BM4000.

I sold it in the mid 1980s  to help fund the latest 5000 system BG5000, BM5000, BC5000 and MCP5000 plus RL60 speakers (latter traded in for RL140s on their launch).

Wish I had the room to keep everything, however I like the idea of building up a collection and rotating the items in use. My new years resolution is to not sell stuff on unless I absolutely have too.

I have taken preventive measures - I never manage to sell anything!

Well, I did sell a Beocenter 2800 since the lid was broken and I didn't really like the design anyway. The other one of my Beolit 707's will go for sale as well, once I manage to find a way to fix the volume & tone sliders which were broken in transit

About 5 years ago I sold a mint Beolit 700 in red, it seemed like a good idea at the time and have regretted it ever since. I've bought and sold a couple since then and am still looking for one which is as nice as the one I had originally.

Infamy! Infamy!

They've all got it infamy!

My Beocenter 9000. It had one owner before me and was in mint condition. Sold it when I going to by my BS3000, should of moved it to another room.

Pretty much every piece of B+O weve ever sold!!

One of the drawbacks of loving the products so much i guess

the only cure is to buy more

The one that stands out the most to me is a complete beocenter 7007 in perfect condition, partly because ive never had one since

BeoSystem7000 (all four units & MCP). Sold it on when I got my BeoSound3000 and BeoLab4000's.  Wish I had kept it all, but I have since acquired a BeoGram9500 to play through BeoSound3000.

Also years ago I had an LX2802. Even though I now have an real flat Avant, I thought that the LX sets were a classic design.

I also regret not hanging on to my corgi B&O liveried model van and BeoTime clock. The van was in mint condition in it's original presentation box.

If only I knew then what I know now!

Ifs, buts and maybes!

Never sold anything... Just building up a collection pretty much one piece at the time...

Beolab 8000

Beocenter 9500

Probably my B&W DM7s! I can understand why I did it now, and it does give me a chance to use my DM303s, which are IMO better. The DM7s were just stunning with choral & organ music and movies though. Never sold any B&O, other than a pair of CX100s which I gave away (and a BM4000 and S25s).

koning:

I sold my wive for a pair of beolab's 5 (lol)

You probably came out ahead on a pound for pound basis...

I had to give half of my collection to my (ex) wife too. Fortunately, I managed to keep the Beosound 1 SE instead of the Beocom 4 as "gold was not her colour" and that it was "not a proper system". Thankfully, everything else was replaceable.

Lesson learnt though. I'm never going to get married again. I'm just going to find a woman I don't like and give her my house!!

BeoCenter 9500. I immediately regretted it and came into a BeoCenter 9000 a little later. I've never quite been willing to go after another 9500 or 9300 considering I only own about 25 CDs, 0 tapes, and don't listen to terrestrial radio! My 9000 has been dutifully disconnected on a piece of furniture for years and will likely remain that way.

And as far as "the one that got away," I've put off buying a few BeoLink 7000s over the years. Now they also fall into the "too exotic and useless to really make an effort" category.

One day when I'm sitting on a pile of cash and have already outfitted my home with the latest B&O, I'll begin work on my "institute for obsolete electronics" and set out to find perfect specimens of all my old favorites. Until then, bringing home another old B&O piece makes my wife react as though the dog brought home a dead bird.  

I gave away my Beocenter 7000 earlier in the year. It had to go as it mas making way for my Beosystem 5000 which I have never regretted buying. I couldn't have accomodated it anywhere if I had kept it and the inability to use the tuner without physically disconnecting the  CD player connected through the Tape2 socket was a funamental flaw. But it was a lovely unit and I still find my bidding finger twitching whenever I see one on eBay even though I have no use for one!
