Not a little greedy are they? Not only the BIN price but $200 in shipping. They must have found uncles pipe and stash also.

I would give them $10 for it. If they get $999 for it, then I can get $9999 for my stuff

Actually, he actually might be. That's the beauty of a free economy. Sellers can list any price they want. Whether they get it or not is a different story.

Think about it. How different is that situation from some home seller who demands an above-market price for his home because he put in all these extras into his home (but did nothing to increase its value). He will continue to want at least a return of his 'investment' regardless what the market will bear. That is, until his liquidity holds out. Then the invisible hand of economics lowers the price for him.

It may be NIB, but it still a crappy sounding cheapo box full of crapola.

You guys don't get it.

It has eight tracks, that's more than 6.1 surround

Get that crackly vintage tube sound without tubes

It contains copius amounts of mercury, much more than today's eq.

It's the only all in one turntable to casette recording device

Finally, it comes with a diamond on the stylus! That's right folks, a real diamond!
