Sony_Fan Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 I had an MZ-RH1 fall on my laps. Great condition and works great. Comes complete with everything you see in the pictures. The display screen has swirl marks from wiping and cleaning, not noticeable on some angles. Shipping to the U.S., Canada, U.K. and BobT of course. Haven't decided on an asking price, so please PM with offers. Shipping out side the U.S. is always more expensive, so keep that in mind.

Abby Normal Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 I think it looks like a great unit and I'm jealous about stuff like that landing in his lap. However, I'm trying to be a little more conservative with my spending at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sony_Fan Posted July 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 $300 shipped to the U.S. Add $10 to Canada. Add $20 to the U.K. The dollar is weak, so this could be a deal for those paying in British Pounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recent RH1s on Ebay have gone for around 175UKP including Postage. Also, and I'm not sure about this, but don't the Customs people charge tax on it if they decide to check it out?

If my price is not attractive, go to Minidisc Canada. It's $320 and rising everyday, plus shipping, plus whatever warranty you want to buy (but probably not need).

Abby Normal Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 People might be interested in how the unit was used. In other words--where was it used and how much was the optical write head was used?If you had someone local who knows how to get into Service Mode safely, there is a place in there that shows how much writing was done--though I don't know whether it is in minutes or hours. I haven't been back in there to test that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been back in there to test that.The unit works great, no problems. The original owner, who wanted to sell it to buy the MZ-NH3D, says it was used for a few months. The discs that I sold to Bobt, were included with this unit, and of those 13 discs, only 5 of them had music on them from optical recording or Hi-SP transfer.

Sony_Fan Posted August 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 $250. Buyer pays for shipping and any insurance. Shipping worldwide if you have a valid and confirmed shipping address.

Sony_Fan Posted August 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 The price is not rising, Chris. The US dollar is falling.Yes, but the USD price was rising, but today it fell by $2. I will now set my price $40 below what Minidisc-Canada is charging. So my price $285, shipping and insurance included worldwide. If MDC price changes, so will mine.

Sony_Fan Posted August 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 They aren't changing their price.The Canadian price is not changing, true. But the USD dollar price is changing. If the dollar weakens, USD dollar price goes up. Since my price is also in USD, it makes sense for my price to adjust as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hungerdunger Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 If the seller writes it off as a "gift," customs tax can be avoided.Not true, at least as far as the UK is concerned.I was checking this out as your latest price is quite appealing, but found this:Goods sent as a gift are not free of import duties and import VAT. However, customs duty will not be collected if the amount is less than £7, and import VAT is not chargeable if: * the value of the gift does not exceed £36 * the customs declaration is completed correctly * the gift has been sent from a private person outside the EU to a private person(s) in this country * the gift is for the use of either yourself or your family * there is no commercial or trade element and the gift has not been paid for either directly or indirectly * the gift is of an occasional nature only eg for a birthday or anniversary.I might get lucky, if they decided not to examine the package, but I'm afraid i can't take the chance.
