interest in buying boxed brand new JVC DVD recorders?

The JVC series is still highly regarded by many hobbyists as the best DVD recorder for converting VHS to DVD, as it removes grain, glitches and other noises, making the new DVD look better than tape. To that end, these machines are still sought -- especially the non-combo DR-M10 / DR-M100 decks! (Or the JVC DR-MH30 and DR-MH300 hard drive DVD recorder decks!) Indeed, the 2007-2009 reviews of machines is sad -- almost beyond sad. The technology is there, they can build it --- but a tanked economy, Chinese cheapo manufacturing and lazy/uneducated consumers spelled doom for this kind of awesome equipment. I cringe when I hear somebody say "Youtube is good quality" or "my iPod looks great" -- yikes! There's jus no accounting for taste! Brand new boxed units will certainly fetch a good price! If they are virgin machines, never used, I'd price them at about $200-250 -- easy! I can go down to Best Buy and buy a near-useless piece of crap DVD recorder, and that will cost me anywhere from $100 to $250. If the economy wasn't so bad (and therefore more money for hobbies), I'd say closer to $300-400. Seriously, those Philips 3575 decks were $300-350 brand new in Walmart, but got very popular near end of life --- fools were paying $800+ on Amazon for them, even used ones went for $300+. Now those were good HDD machines (zero filtering), but 200%+ markup? Insanity, I tell you! (Come to think of it -- maybe the economy isn't so bad, if people want to spend 200%+ on items?!) Using eBay is not suggested -- you won't really hit your best buyers that way. If you want to list them here on digitalFAQ.com in the Marketplace forum, you may get true buyers -- I've had some success selling off my extra DVD, TBC and S-VHS equipment here in the past 6 months. I can start mentioning the availability of such machines among the groups I "hang out" with online and in person. Maybe you cut me $20-25 commission on sales per unit? :) Your units will be PAL, of course. Are the power supplies rated 110-240hz like the JVC S-VHS VCRs are? If so, then there may be a good number of interested USA and Canada buyers. Heck, I might even be interested in one! (Cut me a good deal, I'll help you sell the rest at a good price.) |
