Will the G-8000 sell for more than the G-8700DB?

[Robisme]

I have been watching these auctions to see how high they would go, and I must say, I am shocked at both.

$600 for a G-8700DB?

What do you think? Will this G-8000 sell for more, or less?

I was watching because I have a G-8000 and a G-871DB(black faced G-8700DB).

This is getting crazy, and I like it.

That G-8000 is clean. Looks nice. My guess is that it will go for more than $600.

I like it too! Every Sansui receive is going up. My hunch is these are going back overseas.

You should post pics of your G-871db. Those are hot.

I've been watching that G-8000 auction too.
Maybe it's just the angle of the main photo, but when I saw that I said "that is one SWEET looking piece of gear."
I have no intentions of buying it, but I absolutely LOVE the styling of that receiver.

The G-8700DB went for $600 and the G-8000 is still sitting at $530.

Amazing how the seller claimed the 8700 as a 500 watt receiver!

Rob: I really like the black faced version.

Dave: Guess I should have jumped on that one for $250!!!

yep kicking myself too. tried to call him a minute ago. Didn't even ring

Wow! Neither are TOTL and the G-8700DB isn't as well built as the previous G-8000. I guess most of them are in Vietnam or someplace like that now so scarcity is driving them up.

I wish I had a dollar for every uninformed/clueless seller that confused power consumption with power output.
If I had gotten all those dollars from the clueless (one at a time lol)I probably would try to get the G-8000.

The G-871DB pictured above is also good looking though I would rather not have the digital tuning station indicator.
What is the pink/purple circular icon by the digital station readout?
Anyone know the width of the G-8000?
With the speaker connections on the side I'm not sure it would fit in my rack.

This.

Thanks Rob!

Anyone know the width of the G-8000?

22 inches wide.

Thanks ymarko!
It would be tight in my rack although I suppose I could cut a hole in an upright to run speaker cables through.
I'm not really looking to buy a new receiver, but I've learned to never say never.
I sure do like the looks of the G-8000 and it's the same amount of power I have now so it would be a lateral move.
I just looked, the G-8000 auction ended at $580.

There is a track along the bottom endge of the receiver that the wires tuck into.

Yes, the G-8000 ended less than some expected.
