Oh my, oh my:

The seller is asking for $499 for a minimum bid!!!

 

[warubozu]

Way, way, too over priced. You can find a limited edition D-311 with all papers and box in excellent condition for $200 on Ebay, you just need to have the patience. However, the cigar humidor he also has for sale would make for a nice amp enclosure.

 

[recstar24]

My plan is just to wait and let the auctio expire with no buyer - then email the guy and say - "look, that price is overpriced, how about you sell it to me for $100 and call it a day"

 

[warubozu]

Seriously, there is no difference between the standard D-311 and the limited edition D-311 except for cosmetics and exclusivity of saying I have a limited edition one. I own both version of the D-311 and they both sound the same.

Wait a minute...I see what's going on now, warubozu. You're secretly the seller, flatlinej, selling your superfluous Limited Edition D-311 for a huge profit, aren't you? After all, you just admitted to owning one and that it sounds identical to your other (standard) model...Hm....[rubs chin contemplatively]

Nope, not me at all. There is a difference between selling for a profit and robbing someone blind.

 

[Ripley]

Or should we say, "robbing someone deaf"?

 

[warubozu]

LOL, couldn't agree with you more.

 

[boodi]

trust me d311 is not so worth spending a lot on , not the very best sound of the Sony vintage line really.

 

[boodi]

anyhow ..
I bet it sells

This is definitely over-priced, but I consider it to be one of the best discman available. The D-311 have no problem driving the HD-580 when I tested it. I remember like the D-311 out more than the original Xin Super Mini. Again, that is my opinion.

I wouldn't even pay 10 bucks for a portable cd player nowadays, no matter how limited edition it is...
I mean in the age of mp3 (or lossless even) players where you can listen to a crapload of songs without needing to play discjockey there's no need to make things more complicated than they are. Portable has to be comfy.

take also in consideration still many vintage cdp surpass hdp ( karma and micro in my list ) when it comes to sound quality ; I have no doubt about it , even on a low budget you can buy better portable or transportable sound quality ( ex. Panasonic ct470/570/some Philips , and others )
