I would not be surprised if this listing goes over $1000.

Agreed - looks like it just came out of the box. Great job on the presentation.
It boggles my mind. How can sellers put up something that's worth several hundred dollars, and only bother to post one blurry cellphone pic?? Half the time they don't even bother to dust the item! I mean, I understand if you're a high volume seller and you can't take a lot of time because you move a lot of items, but if you took an extra half hour to clean something up and take good pics, and it got you an extra $200, isn't $400 an hour a good enough return on your time for ya? Seriously?

Amazing. I can't believe the amount of work that must have gone into that add. I wonder if this is the beginnings of a pre-planned campaign and there will be further offerings to follow.
EDIT: Looking at his other items for sale I see that he gives this same star treatment to all of his eBay listings. Very impressive.

Nope, it's the standard quality of his work. I've seen his listings before, and he's got quite a few going now. Here's another:

Excellent add, I sold my 800c needing refurbishing on the Bay for over 700.00, my add was good but not even in the same ball game as this pro. I noticed the lettering up on the left top of the face plate (Executive), have not seen that before.
Really not a big deal. It's likely he's a photographer that has the stuff already, including a DSLR camera and photo shooting room, along with the necessary lighting, and he purchases layouts from places like Auctiva.com (or even googling "ebay templates").
He takes his time, spends the extra cash, and it very likely pays off in the end.

This seller has been around for a LONG time, and i agree this is the standard of his offerings.:thmbsp:
Check out the Pioneer RG-2 he recently sold for $701.00.:yes:
This 800-C was originally sold installed in a Fisher console.

But where's the console!?
I'm lucky enough to have one, & that ad makes me appreciate it even more. Take that gorgeous receiver (they tend to stay cosmetically perfect behind those tambour doors), add an Ampex RTR & a Garrard TT all in a beautiful peice of walnut mid-century modern furntiture and you've really got something!
