One thing that occurred recently that I thought was curious: One seller was selling his Beomaster 5000 tuner-only and his legendary Beolab 5000 amplifier in separate auctions. The tuner went for $550 or so, and the amplifier went for $250 or so. I thought that was backwards.
That is interesting.
It is also good news for me, because I only want the amp! I would have zero use for the tuner.
...but it completes the set....

I search for "olufsen" and get about 850 hits.
Rich,
Searching just 'Olufsen' you may be missing a few interesting listings perhaps. For example, quite a lot of people listing equipment they are not very familiar with will sometimes mis-spell Olufsen by typing 'Olufson' or 'Olfsen' etc. In which case, your Olufsen search might miss these...
On UK ebay I just search 'Bang' under category 'Consumer Electronics' because even the thickest of people can (usually) manage to spell 'Bang' correctly 😂

Searching on "Bang" results in too many "best bang for the buck" hits here in the United States.
Plus, if the seller can't be bothered with spelling Olufsen correctly, I don't want to buy from them anyway.
In Scandinavia a lot of B&O 'traffic' (?) is via local auction sites such as auktionskompaniet.se (part of Bukowkis), Tradera.se (part of eBay) and Lauritz.com (Nordics + GER and UK) and I must say that prices seems to be still reasonable.
I would say that the latest trend(s) on eBay for a buying perspective are interesting but from a selling perspective are plain horrible.
I also search for 'Bang' on these site and also under different catagories. Furniture is a good catagory to find some nice thingies.
Looking at my BV10 (which is not in use 95% of the time) .. I am glad it also works well -almost- as a piece of furniture :o)
...on the same theme - I missed out on
a lazy seller??
Hmmmm...yes certainly a very lazy listing indeed!😭 using the stock photo and just lifting the description like that, with no mention of condition etc.
I guess for 250Euro that would be a real bargain, so long as the CD mechanism works ok, and the general condition of the machine was good. Without the CD working though, remember its a large radio/cassette unit and would barely be worth 100Euro😂

Not if you've got a spare CD mechanism lying around 👍
