Fair prices for used NAC92,NAP180,CDX

Posted by: Darius on 08 November 2001

Hi everybody,
I consider purchase of second hand Naim system including NAC92 (GBP300), NAP180(GBP840),CDX(GBP1330).
System looks OK and sounds fine, although I prefer NAC 102 rather.
There is no deep second hand market for Naim in Poland, so seller say it is really bargain, but …. I checked serial numbers of offered separates and found that NAC was manufactured in 1994, NAP in1995 and CDX in 1998.
So I wonder whether about 8 years old NAC92 is worth 65% of retail price ? What about NAP180 72% ?
I think CDX price (57%) is quite fine.
So my question for you is whether offered prices are fair for so old components ?
What are price relations in UK or another markets ?
Will so old components work well for the years ?
Any answers or comments would be appreciated.

Darius, I am looking for a secondhand 180 and CDX, and have been searching Loot and dealer adverts. The CDX price seems very good, I've seen them for sale in the UK around £1500. THe NAP180 price is not so good, these seem to sell for £600 - £750 dependant on age, condition, and nerve of the vendor! Can't comment on the 92 price, but I have seen several younger 72 for around £450.

Thank you for interesting comments.
I assume even over 6 years old Naim components can work properly for next years. So i will start discuss with seller about pre/power price reduction. Unfortunately I cannot buy CDX only for this nice price.
Regards.
