Be interesting to hear. We don't have that facility in Australia
I wouldn't expect it to be great, given its being discontinued

Although if people perceive the Eclipse as too expensive, maybe some dealers will be willing to pay a reasonable price

Avant 55 on motorised floor stand - we are trading-in for circa £3500...

not a lot for trade in values i wonder how many have gone down this route

 

 

 

 

 

That's about what I would expect after the shite offer B&O gave me for my BV11 (mk4).

With new TV margins as poor as they are, we have to make a little on trade-ins, and also have to offer warranties....

Look at eBay &gumtree and see what people selling it for! fraction of the full price , had a friend gave away 7-40  MKII stand speakers  the lot for free!!.No one really want them unless you are in the business/reseller cash generators  etc!! and you know where to sell to.Most people can not be bothered with the hassle and time wasters, he offered me it did not want  it either!!!i could make few bob out of it but not that way inclined!!😉

With both the second hand market so deflated and also  as you say the new TV margins are poor combined with new products available on-line, how on earth is a B&O dealer supposed to make a living?
