Soundbox Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 I don't know why, but prices on eBay for the older machines have risen sharply recently. I am not sure if the demand is a good thing or not, but bidding is going on at a rate that I have not seen before. MZ-R35 closed at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 My impression is that from time to time someone or other tries to corner the market by buying everything of a given category at any price. Sooner or later they give up, but meantime, someone somewhere has made some money. I'm very cynical about it, believing that some folks will do almost anything to "make the market" if they believe that it will benefit them.

sportster44 Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Just picked up a MZ-S2 with 20 discs for $46 plus shipping. I guess it depends upon the unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychoPimpKiller Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 I just got an MZ-N707 with 22 discs off of Craigslist for $210. Not exactly "cheap" but not too pricey. It had everything with it, too. Remote, charging stand, car power cord, home power cord, headphones plus a leather bag to put it all in. Unit is in great condition, too.

sportster44 Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 WOW! That seems a bit much to me. Are the discs new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychoPimpKiller Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 10 of the discs were new and sealed. Most of the other 12 had stuff on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundbox Posted May 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Thanks for the thoughts. Yes Stephen, that sounds like what I am seeing - and the price for the MZ-R35's on eBay are still high so bidding is very active on this model right now. Perhaps I should have kept quiet and not mentioned it (MZ-R35) here? Saving my money for when it all dies down again then... Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Take a look at this listing on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/Sony-MZ-E35-Digital-Mega-Bass-Portable-Minidisc-Player-/250316942792 Is this real? Who the heck *are* H&B Digital? (I know all about B&H but this sounds like a knockoff). Suggest anyone steer clear of these guys by a wide Scotch mile.

Syrius Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 WTH? I bought that player for 50 dollars six years ago, and gave it away as a freebie with a HI-MD about 3. It must be a mistake, surely... or these guys are off their rocker... or they are insane to think someone will get such a plain unit for that price.

sfbp Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 There's a gentleman of Middle-European origin (I actually spoke to him once) selling an MZ-N505 on Craigslist here. He started at $250. Sure, it was a nice unit with 15 brand new disks, but almost 2 years later he's still at it. When I realised his M.O. I wrote to him and pointed out another ad where a guy was selling TWO (price for both, not for each) of the same unit for $40 (which I bought, gave one away that worked and fixed the second, which I still have). He's been gradually dropping the price but it's still there, week in, week out. I think he's gotten down to $100 finally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
