While it's a good deal, the RTR is the only item with any major value (but oh, what a value). Seller doesn't list the tonearm that comes with the TT; most likely it's a Basik which would make the TT/arm package worth about $250. The cassette deck is probably worth a couple hundred, same with the preamp. Tuner and DATs aren't worth much (under $100 each) and the DVD player is almost worthless. Couldn't find an exact match for the amp, but the 250D sells for under $200 (they're identical except the E model has output level LEDs). Can't tell anything about the rack; if it's the Technics Pro rack it's probably worth a bit, otherwise probably not.

If you're ambitious and have the time, you could make a decent amount of money from this.

That is a great stack for less than the going rate for some of the small monster receivers from the taxed brands. One heck of a buy, leaving room for sales and keeping some as one massages it into what they really want in their rig. Not everyone is ready for cassette/reel to reel and double DAT machines.
