I was in Metchosin when I saw this. If it wasn't for Christmas and gifts for kids (apparently a priority??) they would be in the back of my truck right now!!!

 

[Van_Isle]

And ..... they're gone.

And ..... they're gone.

A guy on another site was going to pick them up tonight when somebody called the seller and offered more. A bidding war then started. and quickly got out of hand. I bet they get listed again within a day or 2 for $2500!!!

 

[totem]

It was listed as a commercial seller in the ad, maybe it was a plan to go low and wait for things to heat up?

 

[stan65cutlas]

then theres this guy who threatens to charge more money if you dont buy them now. and he didnt even vacuum the cat hair off em. nice

These guys must be on crack:

https://victoria.craigslist.ca/ele/d/vintage-sound-dynamics/6431890677.html Can we read? Says S O U N D E S I G N ... and I think he meant $25, not $125.

and

http://www.usedvictoria.com/classif...t-Drive-Walnut-Wooden-Base-Turntable_31080664 I wonder if anyone has pointed out that a YP-B4 is belt drive, not direct drive. And $300?

And my favorite ... 'Jay' is back again as XOrb on usedvictoria. I think he's changed accounts about 5 times now as the administrators ban him. I think it's mainly for multiple ads for the same stuff. Oh look! ....

Someone's going to get a good deal here .... http://www.usedvictoria.com/classified-ad/Technics-SA-1000-receiver_31190775

A SA-1000 with scratchy controls for $150? I'm probably far too late responding to have a chance!

I wonder if this will ever sell: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Worlds-Larg...000527?hash=item2f132a464f:g:2d4AAOSwL9hZjRfB

Mind you at 87 lbs for the SA-1000, maybe I'm just as well off sticking with my 35 lb SA-700.

As if you need the strained back. I wouldn't turn down a $150 SA-1000 though I'm pretty ok with my SA-500.

 

[Van_Isle]

Sold of course .... not to me.

If anyone wants to spend too much on a turntable .... Value Village last evening had a Sansui SR-222 with an Empire cart, behind the front counter ... something like $125? And SA on Shelbourne has a Technics SL-1900 with a p-mount AT cart (broken needle) in the 'silent auction' case ... I think the current bid is $175 and the BIN is $250 .... hmm.

All my bets are on this being a scam ad.... Those SA 1000 are worth amazing money now.
