Hi,

Someone at work is selling an old carver 2000 receiver for $200 cdn. Apparently needs some work as it takes time to warm up? :confused:

Does anyone have an idea of the value of this? I'm probably missing out but the needs work has me a bit wary.

regards

Dave

    Bluebook says $300 US, but the few I've seen on ebay seem to go for $200 US or less, possibly because most did not include the remote. The low went for just over $100 US.

    One with remote did go a tad over $400 US, but it was way out there by its lonesome... It was also about the only one properly identified in the listing.
    More later,
    Tour...

    Thanks Tour2ma,

    I wasn't getting any hits on eBay yesterday, just listings for books written by carver??

    I just finished talking to the owner and he seems like a really nice guy. Just had to let go of the gear because of WAF and they moved into a townhouse.

    The service issue isn't as bad it sounded. I'm going to take a chance on it and cross my fingers.

    regards
