Stereo system - slightly used
Talk about being off the mark in pricing.
Some moke has a really nice stereo setup built out of top of the line audio components and
is selling it on eBay.
Catch #1) - the system is 30 years old.
Catch #2) - the Buy It Now price is $129,900
Who knows, there may be some collector out there who will pay that price but to me, this is worth $5K at most. Audio electronics have made continual improvements over the last 30 years and no way does this system represent the "ultimate". Same thing for speaker technologies.
On top of this, there is no mention of restoration. Thirty year old speaker surrounds will not be in good condition -- they need to be reconed. The power amplifiers will need to have their capacitors replaced as the lifetime for components of that age are at best ten to fifteen years.
The best I can say is Good Luck!
