I just won one off of ebay for $34.00 and it will be here on the 12th
so did I over pay for it and can someone tell me a little about it?

i don't think you overpaid.
i have the 503 and paid 53 total with shipping, i really don't know the difference.
but it's a good player for a low price.

you won't get all the trick play like a better player on CLV discs but you will get fast forward and all the stuff you
need.

You got screwed. I only would have paid $32.50.

But seriously, if it functions, I can't see how $34 would be overpaying for this player or basically anything if it works. Even a working Gameboy or VCR is worth $34.

I have a 503. It has a similar lack of functions but there is a lot less plastic in the turn mechanism. I'd guess its a lot more durable than my (feature-laden) 604.

I think the price depends alot on the condition of the player. I've seen alot of Pioneer players for real cheap prices........but looking at the pics they look a bit rough or probably needing a tune up or repair. So if you want a particular model in a better not as worn condition, you usually will have to pay more as prices go higher for it.

It was in good shape it just needs the gears lubed

i still think you did good with buying it.
open it up, it's not as hard as other older players.
but make sure you know what needs to be done first.
should be easy!!

Well the player came today, and It looks brand new and it came with the all of the paperwork and the remote. It is also much quieter than the CLD-V2600 it replaced and I like having the turn mechanism

Sounds like you did real good !!! Hope you enjoy your 502

I just picked up a CLD-D502 at Goodwill for $20. I bought it as a backup for my CLD 95 which I haven't had any problems with and I like very much but I use it a lot and am getting ready to move and am afraid it may get damaged in the move.

I hope the CLD-D502 works. From the outside it looks in very good condition. I was at Goodwill with my wife so I couldn't just check out with it right away nor carry it around. The thing was so big it wouldn't fit in the cart without putting it on its side. I may have damaged it just moving it around in the cart at goodwill! I hope not.


I don't care about features really just picture and sound. Has anyone ever compared the CLD-95 and CLD-502 just for picture and sound quality?

You have both players. Why are you asking for the judgement of others?

The original poster did the same thing, “Tell me what I just bought.” YOU have it, WE don’t. Nobody is in a better position than you to know what you bought.
