Technics SA5200 price range

[AlphaDelta]

Hi girls and guys,

I might be able to buy a DIRTY and rough but apperently good working Technics SA5200.
It's not that I need an other project but It looks like a very nice Reciever to have and restore...

My reference is an almost mint SA5200 selling for €172, -- (just under 190 dollar) on Catawiki.nl (dutch auction site)
On Hifishark.com I see asking price between 215 euro up 279 euro...on Mint examples...

I think I need to put an other 100/200 euro in restoring the SA5200 up to very nice condition, but thats about the level it can be restored to I think...

So I Offerd the seller € 175,-- about 190 dollars for a not seen live (just pictures) SA5200..Man it is Rough!

I know they don't come up often and they should sound great and build like a tank...

Is it worth to bump up the bidding if needed, or not?
Please advice.

Thank you

So basicly € 175,- is over a way to high bid.......
For what I understand it's a hard to find "collector" ... but that is faulty info then in Gues...
