That is a lot of money but how many of them are around still MIB?

Someone is going to be happy when it arrives - a user here?

Cheers :thumbup:

Seems like a perfectly fine price to me.

Surprisingly, a full set, mint HLD-X0 sold for less:

JPY 340,000 = US$3,120

Easy, its market price!

US$51,345 right now.

Now if you ask not for value but for intrinsic value, that's a different topic altogether.

Mucho dinero too

Well its the people that have new money who are buying these players.
Nobody that I ever knew who was rich, and I mean filthy rich would ever touch such a thing.

Its all people who have gamestop or bitcoin money who are buying these still at a crazy price.

Ever go to an estate sale of a rich persons house????
Ever go to an estate sale of a poor persons house????

I have its pretty amazing the difference in stuff they own.

The player is selling for about what it cost new. Don’t let the immense depreciation of LD over the years make you forget that this stuff was always expensive. An X-0 was...what, $5500 new? I can’t remember.

800k Yen price tag and limited to 1500 units only. I think at the time it was around $8,000. Now it’s probably more like $12-16k adjusted to inflation.

X9 was the interesting one. I remember around 2000-2002 people were importing brand new X9 in box from the Chinese movie club or Nicholas Santini for $2,000 shipped. At the time, the flagship in the US, the CLD-99 still retailed $2,200 plus taxes in the US so the imported brand new X9 for $2,000 all fees included(and no tax) was no brainer.

Interesting facts, thanks.

When you combine the power of YAJ proxy bidding war + a seller who actually took the time to test the player more than "it powers up", you get a surprise:

パイオニアハイビジョンLDプレーヤーHLD-XO動作品　綺麗！
Pioneer high-definition LD player HLD-XO working item Beautiful!
https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/au ... 1124601733

JPY 442,000 or US$2,950 at today's rate.

It doesn't even have the shipping box which, for a baby as heavy as the X0, is really a requirements for any international shipping.

Hopefully they will bubble wrap it to death.

If you want to kill a player in transit, wrap it in bubble wrap. If you want it to survive, pack it in foam.
