Credenza in Reading PA

[Henry]

Anybody (besides me) live around the Reading area? Looks like a good deal, esp. with the two sound boxes.

that seems like standard "retail" (as in non-craigslist, non-auction, non-yard/garage-sale) pricing for a clean, complete credenza... and it doesn't seem out of line if the machine is as nice as it looks and if that reproducer is brass and has been rebuilt (that alone, including the value of the rebuild, should be worth 400 to 600). a lot of people I think get spoiled by or accustomed to the prices of things found on the cheap and that tends to skew notions of market value or worth. I'm always intrigued by how some people's notions of value change, often quite drastically, depending on whether they're buying or selling a given thing, as many collectors do both.
