That may have been the RRP once upon a time Dim_Span. But search on Google - within 0.45 seconds (just roughly!) you find out that you can easily get them for £280, and in Sight and Sound they're going for £239. So to pay £190 2nd hand at this point in time stretches credibility somewhat. Again, not having a go at the 2nd hand market, as without 2nd hand / refurbished / ex-dem I would have kit a bit less good than I have now - not that I'm saying it's by any means great or anything, just that it's above the level I could have justified otherwise.
By comparison the one piece of kit I'm looking to change are the speakers and surprise, surprise, I paid full whack for them a couple of years back without even realising there was a burgeoning 2nd hand market. If I could swap them for ÿmuch older 2nd hand Mission 751s now, then I would do so in a heartbeat. Anyway, I'm just saying it appears not all the 'newer' 2nd hand stuff (if that's not an oxymoron) ends up being a bargain when buyers don't do their homework. Found that a few times when looking for CD players as well which is why I ended up ex-dem rather than 2nd hand. Please don't think I'm having a pop here, I'm really not, just saying caveat emptor and to get a proper bargain I guess you have to (i) be lucky, (ii) do your homework and (iii) probably show a fair degree of persistence.
