I think I did a pretty good buy some days ago.
What about a 2002 Avant Real Flat 32 in very good condition for 300 Euro.
Now I understand all of you who always talk so good about the Avant. It´s a fantastic pice of art, and when I linked it to my old Beosound 2300 (which I btw bought for 150 Euro) I was blown away by the enormous sound.
So - was that a bargain or what???
Tell us about your buiness with second life B&O.
1. Working MX2000 found on street.
2. Beolink 7000 for 100 eur. (3 years ago)
3. U70 for 25 eur.
I think it was the pair of flawless passive Pentas, a BL1000 and really clean, white BM6500 + BC6500 + CD6500 + VX5000 for 450 €. Had to fix the three last ones, though, and I'm still irritated by the fact that they guy had sold the matching BG6500 earlier...
I got a non-working but absolutlely immaculate Beolit 609 for £8 from a charity shop a couple of years ago. It did cost me a little to have it fixed up by the very knowledgeable Tim Jarman, but it was well worth it :)
Good question !
Let's see hmm. As far as cheap goes it must be the Beocord 2000 and Beomaster 2000 (both '80s) which were 22£ as I recall. It was 115£ to fix it but worth it. All other B&O is mostly fair price but few to expensive like my Beogram 8002.
As for my Beosystem 6000 ('80s) in white its a very clean looking system and no scratches with minor work needed.
The Beogram 8002 was repaired by my local shop for 210£ but nearly dead after 2 months. Dillen fixed it for far less and its faultless.
Beomaster 3300 for 54 €.
Sold it later for 148 € then I replaced it with link.
My maiden purchase of B&O on ebay was spectacular:
The add was for a pair of Beolink Speakers, with no pictures with a minimum bid of $1,800 and a zero feedback seller. I called the seller and the reserve was $2,200. He described a pair of Penta III's and said there was other gear to go with it. I ended up with:
All this was for a price of $2,200 a couple of years ago. I regret selling the Beolab 5000's, of course.
I also picked up a pair of Penta 3's in the factory box that had been opened, tested, and stored for years. That was $1,500 and they were truly mint.
I have found some other good bargains too. For me, it is all fun and I get to play with all the pieces I have never been able to afford. (I was a salesman in an audio store 20 years ago and never could afford the B&O stuff I loved.)
