Sansui 890? What's a good price?

[Yggdrasill]

This is the euro/blackface version of the 8080. There's one for sale locally, unfortunately on a CL "auction." What's a reasonable price for one of these, working in good cosmetic condition?

 

[grillebilly]

flag it if it's an auction. If you need help get your friends to flag it.
Value? if you are collecting it because of the black face, it's worth more. otherwise, a buck fiddy is all I would pony up.

I had one for many years. Nice piece. I think I sold mine for about $225 or so.

I have a recapped one that I would need at least $300 for.One of the best looking receivers.

I know you are not offering it but good price for a re-capped unit!

I am starting to drift away from receivers and into int amps but this is 890db will be the last receiver to leave if it ever does.

If you ever drift away from the R-117 let me know

I have one with a reveenered case recapped and before that was done I paid $230.00 now its worth a lot more and its not going anywhere listening to it as I type. :yes:

I know where that one is, I'm betting it will have cosmetic and functional issues, prolly $150 tops. That had the wood grain vinyl case new, but those will interchange with a 9090 or db model too. I have the 990 in the den.
