Gents,

Looking for some current prices on the LD players in the subject line. From what I can tell with limited data the McIntosh historically hovers around the $1k mark. 1 CLD-95 sold recently on ebay at auction for $159. I cant find any recent prices on CLD-97 on ebay. Any help is appreciated.

FYI- NOT looking to sell any of these at this time. Thanks!

I’d say a really good 97 is worth $400.

It’s always amazed me how much a person would pay to have a CLD-97 put inside a McIntosh case. The only upgrade McIntosh did was add the AC-3 mod board to the player. Then the early 7020’s did not have the AC-3 board added.

It would be understandable if you have a total McIntosh system and wanted to look.

Yeah, these players are for the Tom Cruises and James Cameron type dudes where they have a massive stack of truly beautiful high end amps and whatnot. They really didn’t want some crappy cheap looking plastic junk from Pioneer. It throws the whole vibe when you have $60k in amps and you watch all your movies off a PlayStation. Completely uncool. :)

So, here's the story. Someone posted a MLD-7020 for sale on my local FB marketplace for $500. I knew it was essentially a re-skinned CLD-97. I wanted to see if the 97s had gotten expensive enough to warrant the price difference. I have a 95 and I wanted to see how much I could potentially get for it to offset some of the cost. I decided to pull the trigger. I doubted I would ever see another one again at that price.

Sounds like a decent deal, regular 97s usually don't go much less then 500 on ebay.
If it's local even better.

As for the 95s, last I looked were in 250-350 range, not sure about now.

It's worth that easy, you can very easily sell for more if you don't like it. I paid $250 for mine broken an happily put another $200 into fixing it, very happily.

And we had recently a MLD 7020 selling in Japan. Box, manual, remote, tested playing both sides etc.
One that actually works, not the $600 junk that a flipper had been trying to push for weeks after buying for $100 on Mercari.

https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r1060394267

And the results is JPY 358,000 (US$2,600) at today's rate.

That's basically the price of a mint HLD-X9 (around JPY 150,000 these days) and a mint HLD-X0 (JPY 200,000 recently).

Seller must be quite happy!

Not shocking. Check other McIntosh listings. They sell a light box for $2,000. And you guessed it right. It is a box with an illuminated McIntosh logo. It has zero other functions. It doesn’t matter its a Pioneer CLD-97 under the hood, the illuminated McIntosh logo on this player is easily a $1,000 premium. Heck used DVD players with composite out only sell for $2,000+.

No parts, so they have a private museum in their parents basement.
I love these people, I'm just bitter that I don't have this stuff to sell them :lol:

Its like the podcast I heard recently, its not about selling cool stuff to cool people but selling to people who wear sweats and need stuff......

Scratch that. Highest bidder did not pay.
The player is back for sale.

The highest bidder saw my comment on the light box for $2,000 and decided to get that. Let’s be honest, he wasn’t going to watch any laserdiscs anyway. I was actually mistaken. The light box is a bargain at $1,500.

I disagree!

It's not only borderline of completely useless, but it's also nearly full of empty space!

Quote:
Place unsightly components (streaming boxes, cable boxes, etc.) inside the LB200 to declutter and beautify your system


How many times recently have you use the words unsightly, declutter and beautify in the same sentence?
It's a marketing achievement!

For only $300 more, I'd say "get a clock". At least it gives time...

My bad, the junk/faulty one is back on the market:

LMD7020 (US$421 shipping included).
https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/l1031509740

No remote (but Pioneer one works), tray loads but doesn't play anything.
At least he's honest, knowing that it's a paper-weight, it could be a good looking one: The appearance is very beautiful, so it may be a good idea to purchase it as an object.

Ended at JPY 151,000 which is similar to a HLD-X9.

Given the non-zero chance that the player might not work inside the box (damage in previous transit, belts needing replacement, etc.)... You'd have to open and test it before it's worth anything significant.
