BGM and others.... I have some furniture/etc available....

Do you have any vintage stereo equipment?

 

Anything Sansui or Marantz from the 70s. Actually, really anything from the 70s -- Akai, Pioneer, Technics . . . if you find anything, let me know what it is, and I'll let you know if I want it.

Oh, also anything Kyocera from the early/mid 80s.

Or 70s Bose. All the newer stuff sucks, but the 70s Bose speakers rock!

 

I might be interested in the entertainment center. Does it have plenty of room for game systems and DVD/CD storage?

Might be interested in the Weber.

 

Is this stuff hot?

 

They both sound good to me. I'd have to take a look to know which one I'd want. I have a feeling your girlfriend's entertainment center would be a little higher priced. It sounds perfect for what I'd like to have, but the other one could work too.

Vengeance,

Is there a collectable market for 70’s HiFI equipment ?

 

Well since this is the garage sale thread, I'll add my stuff.
Hope you don't mind Drewdog.

The speakers are brand new, I used it for less than 40hrs.
The computers have been used less than 10hrs.

I recently moved and don't have the space for any of this.
If you want to buy all of this stuff, it's yours for $500 obo.

 

Damn, where was this thread hiding?

We're in need of an entertainment center also, it all really depends on your asking price as to which one of the two is more interesting.

I'm also interested in the side table.

 

Sounds like a good price to me. I could check both out on my way back from my golf tourney tomorrow afternoon/evening, or late Sunday afternoon/evening.

Send me an email and I'll give you my phone number. (You can e-mail me through my profile.)

Later,

There kindof is. The 70s were the PEAK of high quality audio gear. Sonically, there isn't much produced now that can match the warm sonics of a Marantz or a Sansui. So while people collect this stuff, we use it in our own systems. ebay is filled with old Pioneer, Marantz and Sansui stuff. That's where I bought my Sansui 9090DB and Kyocera DA-810. As far as making a profit on it, I have a friend who does that, but it's usually not conducive to making a big profit. If you were able to pick up an older receiver at a cheap price, and restore it, you might make some money. It really depends on demand though. Personally, I'm collecting stuff to use, and maybe try my hand at restoring. I'm really a Sansui fan, but the other 70s stuff kicked ass too. It was early to mid 80s when the build and sonic quality of stuff really just went to hell. Sansui became a producer of low end JUNK, Marantz became overpriced and overrated, and Pioneer became a higher-end Best Buy brand to lower end Audiophile brand. The thing is, with the advent of home theater, the way that people look at sound is now different, as people buy systems for home theater primarily, not for listening to music, which is usually the secondary function.

 

I'm selling a cc.net poster. I just haven't decided who I wanted to sell yet.

CC.net posters go for about 45 dollars, don't they?
