Blue Book Values Dosen't Seem Right
Hi All,
Found a site with some blue book values, so I looked up some Von Schwiekert VR 4 Gen 3 (not the SE versions), and this was what I got Retail MSRP: $4,750.00 USED: $980.00 Wholesale Mint: $620.00 Average: $380.00 This seemed so strange to me. This being the case, the guy wants far too much for them. More importantly, these would be amazing value if you can pick up a pair at this price. So I looked up the VR4 I, and II, and found VR4 Retail MSRP: $3,950.00 USED: $1,700.00 Wholesale Mint: $1,150.00 Average: $780.00 VR4 II Retail MSRP: $3,950.00 USED: $1,900.00 Wholesale Mint: $1,300.00 Average: $860.00 Is there any reason the Gen III, which is the newest versions is so cheap compared to the others? As a general as well, everything I've looked up seems to have a cheaper Blue Book value than what it actually sells for. Is this correct? Thanks in advanced. Puunda |

Also, since high-end audio equipment seldom has skid-marks and is rarely found at the Salvation Army store, it's not often subject to burning or dry cleaning. |

Blue Book values are useless because they are based on little more than a few phone calls and the authors' whim. |
