And it was not even working!

It's not that mint either as I suspect that the dust bug base is stuck on and the glue mark will be difficult/impossible to remove.
A fool and his money is easily parted!

Some people do have deep pockets.
I was bidding £200 max, and I thought it still was a lot for a non-functioning turntable, however mint it was. But hey he's got an original box that he paid a thousand pounds for!
Trouble is, some sellers will use this sale to put a value on their own Beograms. That kind of sale can mess up a lot of subsequent buys, and the market altogether for some time.
Shame.
I agree this is a daft price - I imagine the box encouraged bidding as it would certainly reduce the risk of damage during transport. 4000s are increasingly rare so the price will rise. I reckon £400 for a truly good one is about right.

What about the Beogram 1203 that went for £380 recently?
It's almost bound to need work doing too!!!
The seller was perfectly honest about it's condition and history,but a couple of people wanted it badly it seems?
That's auctions of course!

I happen to know there has been interest from the states recently, as this model was never imported over there, they are very rare and it would seem quite desirable atm! It also does look rather lovely all boxed up with original polistyrene??And besides folks, does it really matter what these classics sell for? IMO this deck is far nicer than some of the audiophile *stuff* that sells for as much if not more! It is a simple fact that the market decides at the time of sale and as long as the advert is true to its word in every sense, if someone really wants to pay that then why the heck not?
