Unreal prices


Watching a YouTube video about receiver wars of 1970 piqued my interest so I checked eBay.

Pioneer SX-1950 going for $5000 plus.

My lowly SX-1050 going for $1700.

Those prices, with deflation to the 70s, are list prices back then.  Kept their value. 😀

Open your eyes, this is perfectly normal. Yet for some reason everywhere I go its always the same. The people who should know the most turn out to be the most oblivious. So let me explain it to you.
Its not that the receivers or whatever are so great. Its simply that they have endured. Whatever lasts and is kept in good condition, it hardly
matters what it is, its value will increase over time.
So well put!!! I still have a few pieces of audio equipment that are 
working as good as the day I bought them, without ever having to have them so much as serviced.  Craftsmanship shows not only in detail but as you state, in the ability to endure the test of time.
