I looked at his other two items and he is way off base on those. He says nothing compares to the sound quality etc etc etc. A 20 year old stereo and nothing compares to it???
It's nice to find NIB stuff BUT how many times have I been to church rummage sales and found VCR's etc in their original box with all packing, books and in mint original and NEW working condition for $5? Passed up a Sony just like that last week.

I did however and 3 weeks ago pick up at a yard sale a "new" little 10" Funai/Symphonic/Magnavox combo VCR for $5! Yup, it works perfect and I go through my tapes to find out what I have with no hassle of hooking up a "real" VCR of which I hardly ever use anymore. EVERY yard sale is pretty much guaranteed VCR's and TV's and they will be increasingly MORE common in the months to come and they are all but throwaway now. Even the mexicans don't pay any attention to them anymore.

$1500 for any VCR is outrageous. I'll bet he didn't pay over $30 for it as well.
