THREE GRAND for a VV-50 portable, with the wrong carrying handle and what appears to be burnt orange suede leather on the turntable. The dealer must be using crack.

Well, he did say it was "amazing"!

I bet that he was suckered into buying this and will wait to see lightning will strike again!

Somewhere out in the limitless ether, Barnum is chuckling...

The price has dropped in half.
It must have fallen right on top.

... meanwhile in Vegas a one armed bandit ...

here's a real bargain. when I first saw this ad last month the starting bid was $750!!! With a missing grille and a missing record storage door! Now it's at a more "realistic" price, but with such major parts missing, I doubt this will sell at any price.

I find it strange that there was not one bidder on the VV-50, what a steal. RIGHT
