Now we know what a JVC M90 Original Box looks like

chris69 - 2012-02-28 07:57

Well this is the first time i'm seen the original cardboard box from an M90 and just as i thought it is plain and boring with no nice graphics like a Conion/Helix. Very plain like the M70 box but i bet this one will go quite high just because of the original box.

True Chris.

 

It's a typical JVC pakage. Black/Red graphics were the standard for all JVC large electronics in the time.

 

This should be interesting one to watch....

It's going to be fun watching this auction soar. It's funny how something we  all so willingly discarded can be so valuable today.

You got that right haha! I put all the grails on my watching list and have been doing that for years. After i seen Decentman (Jame's) original M70 box i had a feeling the m90 box was the same but i had never actually seen one until now.

You know seriously guys the absolute best m90 i have ever seen was a few years ago on ebay. I mean this thing was perfect dead MINT aside from the tape deck needing belts. It did not have one single scratch or mark anywhere and it was a beauty in every sense of the word. Never seen a better one before or since and it only sold for around $750.00 and the others at the time were selling for around $1500.00

I didn't have the $$ or i would have definately bid on that one! I can't understand why it didn't go higher and to this day i've made it my goal to only buy one if i can get it around that price and dead mint.....big dreams eh

brutus442 - 2012-02-28 08:17

Shoot for the sky Chris!! Nothing wrong with dreams

chris69 - 2012-02-28 08:25

Better chance of shooting myself in the foot i think hahaha!!
Can't hurt to dream i guess though

it will be interesting watching this one as it will fetch more with it's original box but the unit itself is not the best...i would rather spend my money on a better one without it's box!

chris69 - 2012-02-28 11:23

I agree! The condition of the m90 would be alot more imprtant to me than the fact that is has the original box and i've see lots in better shape than this one.
 
Holy s..t already at $1225.00 after only a few hours!

radio.raheem - 2012-02-28 15:04

excuse me guys...i see no box...what are you on about....m90 auctions are getting boring now...we all know some daft twat will pay 4...5k if this genuinly has the box

radio.raheem - 2012-02-28 15:07

ok seen the box.... just as i thought...the same as the m70

stretch - 2012-02-28 16:25

Meh.

Original owner yes, it's nice to hear that. Tweeter acting wierd/not working, some discoloration on top/sides he says; likely fading.

 

Box! yes, but rear large flap is cut off and no foam to speak of.

 

It's a decent M90, 6.5 ish, and a raggedy piece of cardboard. the current price is already more than it's worth in my eyes.

chris69 - 2012-02-29 02:26

Already over $1800.00 and almost 9 days to go...crazy people haha

Nice to see the M90 original box,but really,i would'nt be bothered about it,christ,i throw cardboard boxes out every day,if all i have to do is print JVC M90 on an old cardboard box and get loads of ££ for it,i think i will experiment on that in my back kitchen lol,see if i can perfect it..maybe i could get into the carboard box business lol..i could make M90 Boxes,777 Boxes,M70 boxes,Discolite boxes..and i bet the poly inserts would'nt be expensive to make either..

chris69 - 2012-02-29 07:53

I'll take a few Conion/Clairetone boxes but please draw the graphics straight this time!!

Looks like crap to me and isn't worth a damn .

 

I did bid though because he is only about 3 hours from me.

retrodos - 2012-02-29 15:45

It going for that much, sold one a while ago in much better condition restored for $850 at auction, that look like crap condition to me, yes it has a box. But come on people, look at what you are bidding on, before bidding? Can't blame the seller, as he started it at $99 dollars, it's the stupid buyers this time with more money then brains and he selling it AS-IS no returns!! 

ghettoman - 2012-02-29 16:11

That box has one of my biggest hates of all time,it has wear on the body around the volume,that makes it look ugly and worn and it cant be repaired..who owned it,a freekin bear with huge dobbing fingers,that looks a wreck and i would'nt even bid on it because i could never live with it in that condition..

 

Chris,i gotcha..i will design the graphics on my EtchaSketch

did you ever get them in usa ? late 70s early 80s..

chris69 - 2012-02-29 16:27

Hey i'm not bidding so what's your beef?? I just posted it because i know that no one has seen an original box for an m90.
You need to harass the ebay bidders,not us.

I have no problem at all with anybody, just just stating the obvious on how silly some bidders are, not you or anyone directly, but a comment.

bredgeo - 2012-03-03 00:37

radio.raheem - 2012-03-03 01:30

If I am paying over a thousand it better be BRAND NEW in the box ....

I love the box but this is the reason I will never own one . There will always be someone who will pay almost 2000 dollars for a peice of #@#@ .
