Well, it DOES look to be in good shape, & it IS a blond version, so...But it'd still have to go to Terry's, & have him go thru it, & it does look to take up quite a bit of real estate...Maybe, just maybe, I MIGHT go a hunnert on it.

This one has been there before. I don't remember if it was the same seller.

That's been on eBay for a year or more, it's they who are nuts, especially in that condition.

From the post title, I thought maybe the Koreans had put the company name up for bids.

Then I clicked on the ebay link... $500 and they don't even bother to walk behind the set to take a picture, just lean over the top?

Every day you can find countless items listed on eBay and craigslist for ridiculous prices.

I am much more interested in posts that say, "Wow -- look at this wonderful bargain."

We're all nuts here, so let's forget about that issue.

It is too much of a price for that set.

And bear in mind that this set is going to be something to shift; it will be extremely heavy--like a piano. The term "storage building" also raises a red flag for me.

Also in my experience that line of sets usually needed R&R power transformer--yet another liability.

Subtract a zero digit from the price and I'd consider it if I was in a good mood.

By the looks of the left side, I'd hafta say that thing was in a FIRE.

Nice 19" combo here, also was over priced. They lost their space, so prolly real
cheap now... If they still have it:

Last time I was there I asked the owner what was going to happen to all the stuff that didn't sell. He told me he'd struck a deal with a liquidation outfit to take everything. I'm not sure what they're gonna do with all the TVs and radios, but maybe they'll show up cheap somewhere

That's a bargain compared to this Zenith for "only" $700
