$2500 yamaha 3020

[troutfisher]

someone on E-bay is trying to sell a Yamaha 3020 for $ 2500 I think he is nuts

I just missed one on CL for $50.00

If it is in mint condition with box and papers AND it has been restored by Merrylander, maybe this kind of premium is possible. However, not that many CR-3020's were sold to begin with so there are not as many rich folks trying to fulfill what they lusted after ala the SX-1980.

Yeah, the seller lives in the same city as me-- he's been flipping on ebay for years. Gets most of his stuff from thrift stores and pawn shops. I'd love to know how much HE paid for it-- I bet it wasn't much, and I doubt it's had any service done on it.

At the moment there are four sitting here, two of them are mine.

I saw the listing too. Clearly someone out looking to get a winfall, but even at that, the asking price is ludicrous.

Assuming it's not restored - what's it worth - maybe $500-$600?

Hmm, I saw the one with a BIN of $2250 and bidding starting at $1650. He previously had it listed for $2750/$1850.
You never know, keep tooned!

You never know who/what someone is willing to pay... Personally I wouldn't pay more than $1,000 for a near perfect one.

Any of the four destined for the AK classifieds?

 

[merrylander]

Two belong to AK'ers one is going to be mine and the other is the one I etched a whole new tuner PC board for but even if I get it up and running it is missing most of the knobs.

 

[MR_B]

I've never let knobs stand between me and a good receiver.
Doesn't affect the sound any.

 

[w1jim]

The price is slipping. It was relisted with a starting bid of $1375 and a BIN of $1650.
At this rate it'll be mine in about 5 weeks.
