DB,

Look at the price of that Soundesign. snip


A little poking around tells a tale.

Looks like a classic shill job to me, and they have a fish on the
hook. These things routinely go at junk stores for $10 to $20, at
garage sales for even less. The fact that some sucker would pop a
$120 bid for such trash confirmed to the seller that he'd hooked a
fish and then called the shill into play. Note the $10 incremental
bids. This is a lucrative scam...the seller grosses 500% on the item,
and usually cuts the shill in for 10%.

whatever you do Rusty, don't trust anyone who drives a 79 Honda, to
judge "quality" of a stereo component for you

just remember- look at what they DRIVE.

the AM mono radio of cars !

WRONG

the bidding started at $89, and now that guy is WINNING IT. So he
can't be a shill.

Looks like a nice clean unit.
They do not make them anymore.
Buyers will decide the value, scarcity, and peril of these items.
What's the beef?
Oh right, 8 tracks are crap.

A nice, clean turd is still a nice, clean turd.

Soundesign stuff was utter crap, similar in bad quality to Emerson.
Look at that turntable...cheesy record eating ceramic cartridge? I
DON'T THINK SO! Cheap plastic face plate hide the even cheaper
electornics inside. This unit is junk that someone Windexed and
Pledged to find a fish...and they found one.

"Buyers deciding" is sort of a misnomer...it's "dumbasses deciding."
This unit's worth about $20, tops.
