Not to be rude or anything but if it is worth 2-3 times as much and you plan on flipping it, why would you send an offer? :scratch2: I mean I would just buy it and flip it. I never haggle down something that I know I can get the money back for. Just my 2 cents :yes:
It's like Onepixel said. I don't buy gear and sell it the way I got it.
I enjoy working on the gear, so if I got it for $150, recapped the power supply, driver boards and tone board, cleaned all of the controls (properly),
pull the outputs and re-grease them, set DC and bias, and cleaned the relay,.................I would offer it to my buddy that likes Marantz for what I had into it. I would guess $200.
If he didn't want it, I would start with Craigslist. If I didn't sell it there, I would go to E-bay.
I have shipped bigger receivers (Marantz 4300 to name one) and am very capable of doing so.
To directly answer your question. I don't want it, but spending some quality time in my shop, working on a classic receiver, is tempting. And if I make a buck or two, great.
I am not in the hobby to get rich, I have a job for that.
I enjoy working on gear, even if I break even.
