  1. Used MD player/recorders from Japan

    in Classifieds

    Posted

    You may remember late last year one of our former members, GuitarFxr, was buying used MD player/recorders in Japan and reselling through this forum. The thread, in case you never saw it, is here.

    I am heading back to Japan in early March and am considering something similar for the purpose of raising money for charity. Strictly non-profit. But I wanted to gauge interest before I made the plunge.

    Are you interested in buying used units from Japan? What's the average maximum price (including shipping) you'd be willing to pay?

    I look forward to your feedback.

  10. Korea MD Stores?

    It's the same in Japan. No one wants to be seen using yesterday's tech, so old stuff gets dropped fast and new stuff gets picked up fast. Like you, I think there are a lot of minidisc players collecting dust in many homes across Japan and Korea. When I get back to Japan I'm going to see if I can't help some of those units find new homes.

    Thanks so much for the update. No plans just yet on going to Korea, but if I do I now know where to look.

    Don't know much about where to look in Seoul, but I think the board members would be very interested in a report on your findings. If you have a little time, please share with us the state of MD in Korea.

    I understand and appreciate your attitude, but I think the level of public interest and adoration for these guys is a sputtering wet match compared to Britney's raging conflagration. I expect only a handful of people could identify them by sight or name. They might appreciate a bit of attention!

    I get upset because the thought of still useful technology rotting away in some warehouse till they are so out of date they will be landfill material is ridiculous. Sorry for being upset, but there is no reason to be pricing these units this way. And don't even get me started on the HI-MD units.

    Anyone hoarding MD tech for speculative pruposes is likely to end up with an attic full of scrap metal and plastic. The potential market is minuscule. Be patient, keep looking, and something will turn up.
