It's Too Funky in Here!!!
Well, that seller must be doing the happy dance!
Uh, it's probably the WOOD SIDE PANELS that did it. Looks like newly fabricated wood side panels. Plus, there's an alignment tape, a remote, vari-speed, extra belts, 2-dbx units, just serviced, aligned and tested.
Yeah, it did bid high, huh? Granted, it's a package deal, but you'd expect this package to bid for more like $750-$850, not $1250,... but that's Ebay for'ya. The alignment tape, remote, varispeed, blank tape and dbx units probably accounts for almost $500-$600 of it's value, if accounted or sold separately.
[estimated values]
$100- alignment tape
$100- Varispeed
$175- DX-4D's [2]
$100- Blank tape [2]
$125- Remote
$550- 80-8 tape deck
$100- recently serviced
=================
$1250, [est]
Sure, that works out! It just seems like a lot, but you get a lot. I guess the 80-8 is the vintage-hound's dream machine!
It does pay to keep the vintage equipment in tip-top shape, doesn't it? I'm sure the seller is doing the happy dance. Let's just hope, for the buyer's sake, that all that stuff is properly packaged.
GEEZ, LOOK! It also includes a non-working 80-8 for just the price of shipping!
Yeah, that's a good deal! You'll hardly ever see an 80-8 bid over $1000, but there's a lot in this package deal.

Gosh!!
Does this mean the used analog market is finally turning around thanks to us analog die-hards touting the quality on these BBSes??
Imagine that!

I'm going to save that sellers sales pitch and use it as a reference to sell the next item I put on ebay. Nice work!
I bet the buyer likes skydiving and swimming with sharks though -- the seller has zero feedback. It will be interesting to see how it turns out. Seems like the Van Kleeck clan is a nice family, so maybe it will be ok

One sale hardly makes for a market turnaround. For all we know the guy had a friend bid on it so he could keep it.
Who knows?
I bet Reel does.
