All:

What's this player worth on the used market?

It's a 999 with all Platinum mods except Bybees.

Thanks,

B

I don't know really. I was just thinking about trading for one. . He says it's Platinum level sans Bybees. . If clock is extra I am sure he would have said if it had the clock. . .

Thanks man. .

I don't think that the price should be any higher than the cost of the mods alone for a player that can be had for only $550 or so on a-gon...

maybe even a few hundred less than the cost of the mods, since resale value of modded equipment is relatively low.

Dan just started doing the LXo3 clock upgrade lately, so any on used market are 99% probably w/out the clock (as is mine, without the clock, that is). Dan charges $350 or so for the clock upgrade alone. My Platinum (to die for) has about $2300 in it (also includes new opamps for mch), including cost of original player on ebay. NOTE: if he calls it Platinum it ipsofacto has Bybee ac and slipstreamers; that is part of what defines Platinum level). These levels are defined on Modwright.com

If his is a Silver and Dan added Revelation umbilical? (kind of a platinum without Bybees is all I can guess) I would guess he has a total of $2k or so in it; $1200-1500 would be a nice used number maybe? If it's "just" a signature truth mod, then lower the list by another $300 or so.

My $.02

Hantra, have you listened to the Sony?

Also, how are you going to play your FLAC files on the Sony?

Wasn't that a true Platinum (i.e Bybees included) and also had Cardas upgraded rca's?

Haha! I don't have it yet, and if I do trade for it, I probably won't take it out of the box. I have no desire to hear it.

They have high resale value.

Yes. The ultimate upgrade for the Sony 999ES.
