I'm not sure, what the proper meaning of "semi vintage" is, especially timewise.

I think that someone here on Beoworld once mentioned that Vintage is more than 40 years old.
So 'semi-vintage' must be anything newer than that...🤔 But - not too new - 'cause then it's not vintage at all...👍

And - did this make any sense..?  😕 😂

Yes, that makes sense to me, that´s how I feel: Semi vintage, but it doesn´t correspond to my Vintage age😕.

And having built up a good reputation (100% positive feedback, more than 100 feedbacks) helps a lot, too.

You´re absolutely right , I agree 100% on premium pictures. And a real, precise description is really important, and last but not least the positive seller record. In my case, when I bought my BL 7000, the seller did everything right, except the gallery picture, which was the backside of the remote with the B&O data label. I guess, this was the main reason that there were not too many bidders.

Btw: Today my "new" BL 7000 floor stand arrived. Condition better than expected (near mint) and functioning without a problem 🙂. The seller considered what you recommended, and therefore got a good price, but it´s worth it.🤒

Kind regards,

Rolf

An I would add, great deal of intuition... also expect at least 1in10 idiots (that's realistic estimate coming from selling on eBay for some 15y)

And I would add to this perspective that at the same time their was a BL 7000 including floorstand for € 449,00 available 😁.
