For every shop there is a customer.I am not the right customer for that shop and he is not the right seller for me.Its a free world and a free market anybody can ask anything for anything,but life is not what you want but what you get at the end! Peace!
I'd love to know if he's selling them for that much money. Around the world you can go to the local craftsmen's market, the starting price is always something like $2000 but after haggling and leaving a few times you can get the price down to $150. Sometimes the free market isn't always what we are used to. I bet he shows customers...."look I've got it on the internet for $xxxxx, but for you $xxxx" and then they think they are getting something of value.
before you get to any conclusions, check local prices at main Russian classified board avito.ru for example search "victor rc" https://www.avito.ru/rossiya?view=gallery&q=victor+rc&s=1 this line for JVC https://www.avito.ru/rossiya?p=4&s=1&view=gallery&q=jvc+rc or any your favorite you can find and this listing, (hope you sitting, get ready) VC RC-M90 for 500000 rub (500,000 RUB =8,507.70USD) https://www.avito.ru/moskva/audio_i_video/jvc_rc-m90_etalon_kachestvennogo_m90_505846716 online currency converter http://www.xe.com/ but, you can find something even cheaper than in Japan https://www.avito.ru/moskva/audio_i_video/aiwa_xk-s_9000_981995201 https://www.avito.ru/krasnodar/audi...00_klavier_high_definition_speakers_979331636 hitachi+cp https://www.avito.ru/rossiya/audio_...entry_magnitoly?s=1&view=gallery&q=hitachi+cp CP-90SP for example in china now was sold for 18000 yuan (near 2750$)
On the next episode of me buying anything i will be counting scratches,bends discolorations,tape belts, fogged plexiglass,dust by μm particles and reduce the asking price and with the profit of reselling the box i will write my memoirs with the title " To be or not to be mint, a new definition of the ghettoblaster " Best seller already Peace again P.S: Radio Raheem please consider your M90 for an auction starting at 10000 euro http://www.christies.com/ We got the contacts
I suppose if he is he probably only needs to sell about one a month to pay his rent etc. Whenever, I think something is ridiculously priced I wonder if someone like Elton John or Roman Abramovich would think the same way. Selling things on Ebay I have noticed there is a often a big disconnect between people's buy it now prices and what things actually sell for in the auctions.
I see some of the most gorgeous cars ever there. Muiras, a Countach and what looks like an Espada? (a fugly car if I may say). Jay has probably the most exotic collection of rare cars including steam powered ones. I'm a big fan of his collection. Nice post Risingsunproject.
Thanks for you kind words but i try to keep my posting to minimum from now on.I had to answer to you since we engage good conversations over time.....
I was wondering if he was still around, checking out the website it looks like he's expanded and has some drool-worthy audio.
Yep they have expanded to include not only boomboxes but Hi-Fi components as well. Here is the latest vid, you could switch on auto translation:
