When ebay remove an item it automaticly return to zero the bid so even if the last bid were $800 you would still see the dcp-100 at 4.99$ after the retraction Yes a bit suspicious that he happen to lost the pcdp

It's not cool the seller ended an auction early because he wasn't getting the kind of prices he was looking for.

Whole heartedly agreed, or a seller yanking an auction early to seal a behind the scenes deal.

..i've seen it happening lot of times for collectible items
I'm not surprised as you..

still enjoying - a lot - my current rig
dcp150 --jenving Ic--rudistor rp5--sennstock cable into HD650
this player sounds gooood

it's not harsh , it's not bass lacking , it's not mid recessed , it's detailed too ...this player shows a near to umbelievable balance to be a portable unit and not a full size ,to my ears

 

[spwal]

may be back in the market for a ncie little portable Denon in addition to my awesome PBD V30....

hmmm,

too bad i've lost that "150" at ebay.de. that one went for 113 euro and in even better condition than this one.

yep, patience is key.

These are old and secondhand.
Normally they would not go over 15-20 USD.
Only this forum is having a social phenomenon of a hype.
And you all are bidding on the same items...

as i was taught on my first day, this is considered a "troll," not a "lurk," right?

What are you worried about? Are you or were you actually planning on bidding for the item? If not, ****.

a troll indid ..

shut up pls Magnolia .. before this turn in flames and is locked..

 

[Magnolia]

I am worried only about you.

What is wrong?

I don't tell anybody here to shut up but you do!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[boodi]

It's quite simple
You talk without reading , without knowing what's the talk about , without thinking what you are doing indid .

If you don't want to be realized out as a troll ( low post count + troll post) just get around a bitbefore chatting to have at least an idea of what you're talking about , and where you're posting on .

in this forum there are hundreds if not thousands of posts talking about hi-fi about pdcp about vintage pdcp about people who's passed a time in discovering the best sounding units and posting about.

You seem to enter here and post the first thing that passes in your mind without reading , without knowing , just for doing it .

This is quite well known as behavior and referred as troll...

These are well know units here.
this in particular is among the 3-4 best sounding (vintage) pdcp who have been ever produced - if not the best- and there's quite a movement around it when one is spotted on ebay.

I've never seen one go for around 15-20 USD
sure they don't go normally around 15-20 USD

generally speaking , an hifi forum have an hype for sure around some hifi related -this to the eye of the non interested person who eventually step on the hifi forum- as an "x" forum have an hype for sure around the "x" argument/gears -again , this on the eye of the casual host...
so there's no reason to point out it from the part of the non casual registered member, since you've registered from quite a time
tell me if I am wrong

and about the bidding , more then a time I pmd fellows here to not go on the same bid togheter with good results




I'm doing the troll job probably but

let's go on
so..what are you argumenting about?
If I've missed the point and if you want to explain ...

 

[19lexicon78]

well,

i think magnolia has a point.

the price paid for vintage pcdp's is too high, especially a year ago.
I see the same thing happen with walkmans. sometimes a specific unit goes for 400 usd and sometimes the same unit goes for 40 usd. because of a hype you pay a very huge premium.

If you think rational, i think 40 USD would be a nice value for the dcp-150.
Because we are pcdp collectors and wanting the best and rarest units produced, we pay too much.

yes, it's a disease.. i can't help it..

 

[Jahn]

Wait - people pay alot for old walkmans? I have one at home I can take pics of if that's the case - back in the 80's an exchange student from Japan got it for me, it's all black metal and the size is smaller than a cassette case even lol. No radio, I still have the battery extension pack for it and the original remote and buds, etc - even the old battery which i dont think works anymore. hmm have the charger for it too, and the original bag. everything looks in good order, not sure why i stopped using it. oh, it's a recording walkman too. hmm, and a Tigger sticker on the inside of the lid lol.

you think that's worth something? it's back in my folks place, which i happen to be visiting this weekend. i can go pick it up if it's of any value i guess.
