A tale of two T-80s

Let's see, this one has been on offer locally for quite a while on a couple of sites with no takers:

Which makes this ad all the more entertaining:

On the same site, 9x the price "Ferme" (firm)!

Are black one really worth that much more?

I had one of those once (silver). The first one is priced right. The black one is way overpriced.

The black one has been repriced at $90. Still high, but better.

I have a beautiful black faced Akai tuner, and still I would be surprised to get $100 for it, even though I think it is worth it!

Wow 65% off, what a deal!

Wait a minute, still 3X the price of the one that's not selling.....

Seller is a serial flipper, and not shy when it comes to pricing and telling stories like claiming this modest 3 gang tuner is the "gros modele de la serie", ie TOTL!

How about this?

Sony S570 Blu-ray player for $220 BIN. While the usual past selling price it like $40-50.

Yeah but you could get it for $37/month for 6 months. And a 2 year warranty for only $56.99 extra!

Oh rats, may not ship to Canada. I guess I will have to put up with my BX-58 (basically the newer S580 with a HDMI cable thrown in) that I got refurb with a warranty several years ago for less than half the price of that 570 no warranty.
