I think the collectability of your amplifiers have increased a bit.

CA-2010

CA-1010

CA-810

yep. Folks wised up. Sadly after I sold two CA-810s for less.

Guess I'll never get a CA-1010.

eBay is full of people who pay too much for things. I've learned to take an average of prices, and to take individual sales with a huge grain of salt. I still don't think Yamaha will regularly sell for those kinds of prices, at least not that era. Now stuff along the lines of the C4 preamp, yes those still go for too much (Because I'd like to have one, no less).

That's a pretty valuable box on the 2010! Butt not entirely surprising. The rest? pretty much accurate for nice examples.

My favorite is how people are paying ~$100 for the repress of Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. You can get it from Amazon new for ~$75.

I have a mint CA-2010, with original box, receipt, manual, blah, blah, blah.
I would not sell it for that eBay price.

Everything should be seen in perspective.

Yamaha is still undervalued compare to other collectible brands.

For instance, few minutes ago I read here that Sansui AU-888, 45wpc sold on eBay for $500.

Just saw a Pioneer sa-9800 sell for $1200, makes the Yamaha seem like a bargain !

 

[Saint Johnny]

As to Yamahas being undervalued, I totally agree. But for those prices, I think I'd much rather have a B-2 or maybe even an M-2 and have a $100 or so left over to buy an extra M-4. (Though the 3 M-4s I already have, didn't cost me anywhere near $700 in total)

For collector grade vintage Yamaha gear, I think those prices are reasonable.

Not bad... my 1010's doubled in "value" in just six years! :thmbsp:

SSHHHH!! You'll let the secret out!

SSHHHH!! You'll let the secret out!

Just trying to make my purchase seem better, I'm the schmuck who bought the expensive 2010

Manny, congrats on the new piece. I think anytime you get something you want its a score.

I just love the variable "loudness" on the Yammies !

 

[bob06]

I've been known to pay little more to get something nice. If you want it why not.

Prices always go up just before Christmas. People are buying presents and there are only a limited supply. Prices then go way down the day after Christmas, no one has money (they spent it all on Christmas) and they put items up for sale (because they need to recoup the money they spent on Christmas).

 

[Manny]

Well, I guess I'm someone who is never satisfied with what I have, while I like the new Yamaha, I still like the sound of my Pioneer sx-1010 much better. The Yamaha while very clean sounding and crystal clear with wonderful highs, I feel it lacks bass. Even with the bass nearly maxed out it doesn't have the same punch as the pioneer. Maybe because of no loudness option, but even at higher volume levels it can't compare.

Ooops ! I guess I better go buy my pioneer some flowers and apologize. Baby, I love you !
