Given I think even $200 is a pretty OKAY price for a NIB D211, but Walter, $1500 is just exploiting the fact that these are collectibles. It kills the hobby and turns it into a money making machine, you KNOW they don't worth that much. Why...?

I once got an offer for a working D88 for like USD$65

If it does sell (which I highly, highly still doubt will happen), don't you think it is only fair to donate 10% to Head-Fi since you are using it as a resource as to the quality of the item?

Yeah, I hear you. Fame cost money, and you can't get there for free or by being a j-walk dancer either. Walt, whatever you say in having a so called buyer being Springsteen's friend. I have a prospective buyer for my D-555 who's willing to pay me $2500, he's a good friend of Big Bird (won't mention his name) from Sesame Street.

Yeah,

I am sure Bruce and his friend are hip to headfi and read here all the time!! ....

(joke)

Nice1 Duncan glad to see that new disclaimer in the PCDP review about the 211, and happy birthday man, was out of town but wanted to wish you well.

I just realised After checking the ebay link that my father has a portable sony cd player similar to that one. I must check the model! Maybe he has one of those really nice ones and I don't know!

What's up with all the bashing. Damn... I already received an e-mail from a buyer who may be interested in buying the D-211 from me for $1,500. He is one of Bruce Springsteen's friends (won't mention his name). So, for anybody complaining that I am out of my minds, you need to stop worrying because I know that it will sell. Good day to you all...

What a shameless post! Must feel good to rip people off.

[size=xx-large]SOLD FOR $1,500. I ALREADY CANCELED THE AUCTION.

THREAD CLOSED.[/size]

 

[warubozu]

Yeah, right... whatever you say, I don't give a crap.

Hope you feel good in fooling some uninformed buyer and making a huge profit at their expense if you did actually sell it which I don't believe you did, because I'm sure the victim (or in your case a make believe victim) would think twice if he or she was better informed.

Sure, we believe you.

 

[Filburt]

Lol, yes we all believe you walt. Did the guy see Duncan's revision and tell you to take a hike? ;D

 

[Spaceage]

Who ended up buying it? Rod Stewart's second cousin? Perhaps David Lee Roth's dog washer? No, I'm sure it was Boy George's ex-husband.

Congratulate him for me.

 

[purk]

Waltchan,
You are a disgrace to headfi. Maybe you will use the 1500 dollars to pay for your tuition.

 

[sonick]

hahaha, classic case of PWNAGE.

 

[Harry Tuttle]

there's no way someone paid that much for that, this is ridiculous!
