My Beomaster 6500 got damaged by lightening and I claimed for the entire Beosystem 6500 as it is not possible to find a replacement Beomaster 6500 in my country. I was extremely lucky and got the entire system including RL140 speakers for R2500.00! A bargain I know. The insurance phoned me today to say that they will pay me out R55 000.00!!! I was floored!
I LOVE BANG & OLUFSEN!!!
P.s. I just had to share a happy story :)
Wow... That's 42.000 DKK for a Beosystem 6500... Mind blown 😂
Thats true....and it was in perfect working order and virtually no scratches. I was very lucky I have to say.
If the insurance pays that much over there, I'll move to SA with my entire collection, wait for a thunderstorm, and then retire... Did it cost that much when new? 😕
Edit: with pricing info from Beocentral, the entire stack without MCP was £2,292 in 1990. According to MeasuringWorth, that would translate to £3,900 (retail price index) or £4,890 (average earnings) in 2008's money. The latter just about matches...
The 6500 system cost about 2400 £ in 1990 😎
-Too slow ^^
The insurance paid me for the replacement cost which B&O South Africa said the equivalent would be a Beosound 3200 and Beolab 6000. They give the money though and its up to you to purchase the item. I also paid no excess. Very good insurance company.
Maybe they'll change their policy if they are BeoWorld members?
😕
Sweet! What are you going to buy?
Well I've decided to pay off the rest of my car which I owe R30 000.00 then buy another Beomaster 6500 and have it shipped here. The rest put it in the bank...or use the rest of the money to add towards the trade in value of my current car and upgrade 😁
I want your insurance company!!!
Maybe they have a filial in Finland? 😂
