Crazy S/H prices

A recent E-Bay item,an Olive S/C serviced 2007 for £1800, crazy?

Dear Howard,

1800 GBP for a PS might well be regarded as crazy, don't you think?

One mans VFM is anothers very expensive.
Beauty is in the ear of the beholder.

Naim gear always holds a good price and is always desirable. Nothing to moan at assuming you own some.

Prices in pounds are now looking attractive to international buyers

A couple of weeks ago on eBay, an unserviced 1991 NAT 01 tuner and NAPST power supply sold for £1,550 + £20 p&p

Not crazy. I know people wibble on about the differences in sound quality between sC and SC2, but the reality is that the difference is less than the difference between new/serviced and old/unserviced.

If you were wanting a SC/SC2 for your new superline, then you are looking at 3 grand for a new SC2. A just-serviced SC does the job just as well and its just over half price. The remainder pays for the Aro. Or a big chunk of a Keel. Or a better cartridge. Or...

my guess is that buyers paying in euros are able to pay a little more on gbp than they are used too with current fx rates.

I just sold a piece of kit for the same money I bought it for 4 Yeats ago, yes the buyer was in eurozone

Ah yes

Where nobody gets old and godly and grave,
Where nobody gets old and crafty and wise,
Where nobody gets old and bitter of tongue."

But what about the other three

A few days ago on ebay a NAIT 1 sold for over £300.00 , the world has gone mad.

Mind you I did recently sell my Kan mk 1's for £255. I was quite pleased with that..
