Very Nice But a Tad Pricey: $1,300 Buy Now for JVC RC-550 Boombox

I'd be a liar if I said I didn't covet this JVC Boombox, but it's beyond my price range.

Beyond your price range and mine, and I expect most people's, but that certainly is a beautiful-looking radio.

What I appreciate most is that it is not stereo. I always thought that the old generic boombox design was dishonest in that most did not have adequate distance between the speakers for true stereo separation. Plus stereo only works for FM.

But $1300? And the seller lists the auction number of a similar set that sold for $2,000 on the first bid. For a radio with a cassette recorder that only records and plays in mono? Are these prices even for real?

I agree. On the other hand, a boombox recently sold for over $500 on a bidding war.
