Took the words out of my mouth , if I tried to do this as a business I would have gone bankrupt years ago...I play with this stuff because it is a fun hobby, and I have given away stuff that cost me to fix up... I think I have actually sold 2 or 3 consoles in all the years I have dealt with them...this is just like cars... putting a bunch of $$$$$ installing doodads and other aftermarket crap that you like does nothing for the value of the car...it is all for the love of doing it...Firedome wrote: ↑Fri Feb 03, 2023 3:34 pm "If this guy can get $4800 for a console stereo of any description, good for him."
I could care less about the value of any console, component, )or car or motorcycle that I own for that matter), I have them because I like them, not because they are an investment. I buy them cheap and sell them cheap or give them away. I don't see any benefit to a drastic price appreciation of consoles, they're the last bastion of reasonably priced vintage audio for the financially challenged. It's strictly a bad thing imho.

I'll join the "ain't about money" crowd here. My devices don't have lots of market value, many having been acquired in past-their-prime condition. But I like them because they're cool and interesting and increasingly rare.

He is originally from the UK but his shop (and home I assume) is outside of Las Vegas in Henderson Nevada. The somewhat close proximity to California does sorta explain the prices.

"...it is all for the love of doing it..." and a good thing too, as my MO over the years could best be described by:
"buy HI and sell LO" lol oh well it beats playing golf, even if it turns out costing as much!
