CT-100, gone for 750 Bucks
 

Hi folks,

some moments ago, a RCA CT-100 was offered for $450 on you-know-where, buy it now for $755, #260577388291. While I still was wondering some seconds, whether this is a fake or not, the set was sold. Never saw such a cheap offer of a nice CT-100.

Kind regards,
Eckhard

Well, I hope the new owner announces himself here.

Seller says there was some light snow on the screen and that he's seen these go for as much as $900 ??

If he had a working tube he probably hosed himself with the BIN price!

I'm sure it was a real thing... Seller looks legit, and the photos don't look like any other CT-100 I've seen for sale.

I'm happy for whoever got it, and if they got a good tube, hopefully they'll know about VacuSeal, and will preserve the set well. They might not post about it here, as not everyone will be able to contain their envy. I probably wouldn't post about it; at least not right away. (No it's not me, and I don't know who it is).

I didn't know of the set before. But I postulate the owner was mislead in its value because he was referring to an old price book.

By coincidence, yesterday I was wasting time in the library between two appointments and riffled through Harry Poster's old book. It values a CT-100 at $500.

positive points here is that there are unknown treasures still to be found. And the person who found this one must have hit the reload button a few times just to be sure it was really there.......

I would like to think I would have clicked "Buy It Now" right away, but who knows. Maybe I would have had a heart attack just waiting for the pages to load. Or, I would have hesitated, thinking about shipping details, as if that should even matter with an item like this. Yes, there are still hidden gems to be found.

How many of those were made?
