das ist ja eine fantastische Sammlung

Close to 700 units is indeed an impressive collection.

I presume there are not lot of B&O collections of that size around the world. Most of them are likely placed in Denmark because those big old radios and particular radiograms are very difficult to get out of Denmark.

Does somebody know by chance something more about this collection or maybe about previous owner?

Ideal for a spare floor at Struer!

Someone will need a warehouse for this lot, and the tragedy is that apart from possibly a few dozen very rare items, the rest will likely be depreciating whilst their storage costs escalate. I would guess that the buyer will quickly break up the collection for re auction  .... unless of course it's a wealthy Beoworld member with an incurable dose of the virus.

I thought I had a big B&O collection but, there, I am completely flabbergasted ! Who can purchase a so huge collection considering the heavy price and the space to stock it. I agree with you the seller should have made small lots or individual piece for the most rare of them and there are some of them. Amongst numerous seldom items, I noticed an orange Beolit 609 (link), a white Beocenter 1400 / 1500 and a white Beogram 1000... and a few other. I would have very pleased to add them to my modeste 300 pieces B&O collection. 🙂

Incredible collection, I wish I had the opportunity to store this lot!

Marc, the white BG 1000 looks to be resprayed.  I don't believe they were sold in white, could be a prototype I suppose? 

The white BC 1400 is a very rare piece! Anyone spot any other rarities?

This is Gorgeous actually....just an info:

From which B&O gear was this photo took from ?

This picture is the dial of the Hyperbo Senior and Hyperbo Senior RG.

Did anyone watch the end of the auction ?

I forgot, and the last price I saw 1 hour before close, was 135000DKK, very far from the estimate of 700000DKK (which also was away to high I think)

/Jacob

That was the last bid 135 000 DKK
So with buyers premium fee of 22.5% the final cost for the buyer was 165 375 DKK = 20 106 €  = 24 947 USD when I checked Lauritz.

Not shore if there was a minimum price the seller wanted for this auction?
