There are three BC9500 for sale in Sweden at the moment. I don´t think any of them are serviced recently.

So we can make fast conclusion that Danish guys has the lowest prices. 

Is there any brave Danish Beoworld member how could arrange me BC9500? 😐 Of course if someone has extra 9500 laying around in some other European country I could also go with that 🙂

You can give PM so wont get 700 request to find BC 9500.

There is couple BCs in huutonet, But serviced? I doubt.

Yes there is couple of BC9000 but it hasn't got the Power Link connection. Also find one BC8500 but all ready the price is 500€. 

I would rather find the BC9500.

I like to fix B&O stuff so it is no problem if the unit hasn't been serviced. All the present units that I have from B&O I have bought broken.  Of course bad cosmetic condition is hard to fix 🙂. For example change of capacitors to BC9xxx is no problem.

This was very good tip from user Bos00. I contacted the seller but unfortunately unit was all ready sold. 150€ of BC9500 with speakers was bargain! Thanks anyway for the hint!

The BC9500 is the one piece of B&O gear I just don't even bother with despite it being one of the pieces I'd like to have in my collection. Unless one comes up for absolute auction WITH its original box, I find that there are always two constants with the systems that show up in the US. Either they are badly in need of repair/loose glass/broken, or the sellers are up in the clouds on their pricing... The last fully working system that was on offer here was being sold at US $1300.00 which is absolutely absurd IMO. Checking the sold items I see that seller actually sold that unit for a still ridiculous $1104.99 (item number 300875579325). Considering the last mint one offered up on auction went for 515.00, that is more than twice that number.

I would much rather (and have finally bit the bullet on one) apply those funds to a BeoSound 9000 first. So I now have a BeoSystem 2500 which I'm slowly selling off, the Beomaster 7000 and in the next few days hopefully will have a BS9000 as well. The biggest reason the BC9500 and BM7000 ever appealed to me in the first place, was the two way communication that works with the BeoLink 7000. Well I have that in spades with the BM7000 anyway, so the 9000 is the art piece and the 7000 is the workhorse. Don't really see any need to mess with the 9500 at this point. Not to mention the fact that I don't really have room for it nor can I wall mount anything in my apartment.

Truly mint BC9500 are getting more and more rare every where, not just the US and hence are getting expensive. Supply and demand, I'm afraid.

Having owned a 9300 and the 7000 system, I would far prefer the 9500 over the 7000.

It's certainly more visually appealing and it's nice how the CD and cassette doors are motorized, but for someone who doesn't use either of those features much I don't find it to be worth nearly five or six times as much as the average used 7000 (receiver only) in functional condition. The bigger concern to me was compatibility with the Beolink 7000 which I *CAN* use daily and with which the BM7000 is flawless.

That the 9500 is a work of art is certainly not in question, though I simply chose to invest that cost in a Beosound 9000 which is even more visually arresting and easier to track down in mint shape. Unfortunately, I probably don't have the willpower to overcome the temptation of a 9500 if I ever come across a mint one.
