Onkyo Amp/Tuner Value

[Vistance]

Hey guys, just curious on the value of an Onkyo A-7 integrated amplifier and an Onkyo T-4 tuner paired together. Had a lead on this pair today, but the price seemed out of line - couldn't find any completed eBay listings to even get a feel for value, just a few that seem overpriced for what it is. It's a 65 wpc integrated, does have pre-out/main-in loops, seems reasonably well built. The seller was convinced it was worth a mint, I'm just curious what it's actually worth - as in my experience it doesn't seem like Onkyo equipment usually costs much.

There is or very recently was an A-7 for sale at the AK subscribers' Bartertown forum here at AK.

On April 6th an ebay seller in NE sold an A-7 for $46. However, the deal must have went through as it sold again a week later for crazy money...$278. And it wasn't bidded up by a bunch of noobies. All had feed back over 400 each. Maybe they were noobs to stereo gear.

To me, the A-4 is a good $50 dollar tuner. I had one paired with the A-5 and I purchased both separately on ebay for a total of $60 plus shipping to the West Coast. That's always the killer if it has to come from east of the Mississippi.

I gave the set to my brother-in-law this past Christmas, but I wish I would have given him the Marantz 2238B instead. They're very solid components.

Good Luck...
