Yes Virginia, there are stupid people in the world.

Lots of 'em, too.

I assume this is a misunderstanding of dollar values by the seller, but, it was just reduced from $20,000, so had to post it.

The only one? How do they know this?

 

[Audio Fan]

Because, they did an "inner-net" search and couldn't find any, so it MUST be One-of-a-Kind!!

It's not bad looking, but a dead low end Morse SS console for $1k.

I'd say a "bit" optimistic.

Rare because all the rest quite working and are long buried in a land fill.

Hopefully they won't get too upset when the best offer is somewhere around $12.

Lucky to get 25 cents for VHS tapes these days. Heck, people are unloading their CDs and DVDs now.

Depends, yeah the above prices for those titles are unrealistic, but certain VHS tapes can sell really well. Horror is one genre that can be in demand. Titles that just never get reissued..........

VCRs still sell. They only stopped making pre recorded VHS tapes in 2008 and VCRs in 2012. Blank tapes can still be purchased in stores. Walgreens has them.

Not to bash Bose, but even if they had the tulip stands and all original boxes this is way over priced. At this price, it is stretching the value by 2x-3x.

Bose 901/II with tulip stands and all original boxes, plus equalizer, everything in mint condition, you could get significantly more than 1300 Euros in Germany.

A pair of Boston A60 with incorrect generic surrounds for $400

Asking $1,299 but shipping is free. That will leave me $101 left over from my stimulus check!

But, you get music in the SHOWER!!

Marantz Model 4400 Receiver - $2400

TOTL for its day, but still - $2400? Jeez. I remember seeing one about 5 years ago for $800 and thinking that it was too expensive.
