barryeb Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 So I have a Qualia 017 Mini Disc Player in Polished Chrome - Complete and LIKE NEW! See Photos! Comes with: Main unit Remote Headphones Earbuds Neckchain to the remote Battery charging stand Carrying case (leather) AC power adaptor Cleaning cloth Owner's Guide Complete with original packaging and boxes. I bought this at the New York Sony Style store quite a long time ago. They were made to order and it took two months for it to arrive. I've barely used it and it was more on display in my collection than carried around (which it never was) I just tried it out and it still works beautifully and the sound is incomparable. I'm thinking about selling it... I know they're rare and that very few were bought or made and possibly worth thousands??? I'm accepting serious offers... it really is a beautiful piece of engineering. I really have know idea how much this player is worth, someone at Sony once said $5,000, but that was a long time ago. I've never seen one for sale on eBay and trust me I've looked. I've attached some pictures too... enjoy! Now seems like the right time. Thought about eBay, but I'd like to see what this forum has to say about it. Any offers or more information about how many were made and how much it's worth? Is it now just a working object d'art? Thanks! Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryeb Posted May 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Good to know. Yeah if it isn't worth what I think it is, I'd be more inclined to keep it. It really is quite beautiful. I'm pretty sure I paid $1900 + tax when I bought it - had money to burn back in the day. I remember the salesman was all about the earphones. Thanks!

NickyJay Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Why would you sell it? It is a complete one-off work of art. If you need the money maybe wait a year until the recession's over. It could probably go for $2.5k. Are there any instructions or documentation that came with it? An original box? . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickyJay Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Read the OP more attentively & you might find answers to to those questions. No harm in making sure. In a sale what usually happens is that a prospective buyer might ask to confirm certain details with the seller. This is especially so when the price is very high.

barryeb Posted May 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 I don't have the actual receipt (actually I might, just haven't looked for it), but I do have the user manual. I have everything that it originally came with - It's basically new out of the box. The pics don't do it justice, but funny enough I lent a friend my real camera to sell their vintage Marantz stereo. I really don't want to sell it, but need to fund some projects so I thought why not now. Anyway, thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barryeb Posted May 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 I'll do my best in the next week to take some better pictures, but I don't have use of a scanner at the moment. I can take some decent pics though if that will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
