Alot. :lol: Just kidding these all vary depending on their condition (complete, working, cosmetics) and most importantly, what their worth to You. Sometimes certain models that usually fetch $600-800, will fetch $350 if no one else is bidding on them at that particular time.

You got some fancy tastes when it comes to radios! :-D

THAFUZZ nailed it on the head...it's whatever you're willing to pay!

We see cRaZy money on radio's that are so so...and every now and then a member will score a radio from your list for next to nothing.

Also... :hi:

I will give my opinion on the 5 boxes on your list that I have listened to.

M90- well known to all collectors as the "King" of boomboxes due to its superior sound, built quality, and performance on batteries. A large boombox with 8" woofers and 2 1/2 tweeters. Perfect for any outdoor setting with its ample power. It has clean tight bass, crystal clear highs and wonderful sound separation...and it's plenty loud. There is a reason it is at the top of most collectors list and why the price for them can go up to $2000.

M70-the M90's little brother and the benchmark for all medium sized boomboxes. Another collector favorite and with good reason. It has monster power for its size, top notch build quality and a fantastic tape deck that is bullet proof. it has hard punchy bass, crisp highs and lasts forever on batteries. It also has an available carry strap that makes it the perfect carry around boombox. It also happens to be my favorite boombox. Can be found for as little as $200-$300 up to $650.

Panasonic 5350-a powerful supreme quality boombox that most would never take outdoors. Its sound quality rivals the M90...its that good. The M90 has better highs but the 5350 has better bass. These are rare and very expensive. Expect to pay up to $1000 for a good one.

Conion C100f-a raw beast of a street machine. Crazy loud, strong bass and killer looks. Its louder than the M90 but lacks in built quality. It has decent sound but is a little raw compared to the M90. Very popular among collectors and expect to pay up to $1500 for one in excellent shape.

Aiwa 660-about the same size as an M70. It has very warm sound, smooth deep bass, crisp highs and a wonderful tuner. This one is a must have sleeper if you love good sound. These can be found for about $75-$100 if you are patient when looking. Sounds comparable to an M70 with deeper bass but the M70 crushes it on power.

I've only got two on the list so I'm not much help but my M70 I just love as its so loud and bassy and looks the nuts with its blue blufuz strap. My GF9000 is a big looker and mine sounds good but some find the original woofers a bit lacking...best vu meters on a box tho IMO.

If the M70 is on Ebay, I would not buy it. If it is properly listed, with good photos and working condition, and is allowed to stay for the full auction term, it will sell for over $400 which is not worth it IMHO. But that's just my opinion.

Don't try and get them all at once! That's a surefire way to hammer your savings into nothing.

Be patient, buy them as they turn up. If one goes for big money, then sure as eggs another will turn up cheaper (and in better condition).

I have 5 M70's including an M71. I was patient and lucky and never paid more than $139 for my most expensive one...the rest were $100 or less. Patience and luck are important in this hobby... :-)

Norm's like new M90 with remote and all goodies went close to $5000 on Ebay. He said he was selling for a friend or charity. I cannot remember well. I think that was the all time Word Record!

That is correct! I have a JVC RC550 that I paid around $1000. It was smelling new!

Go SLOW grasshopper! You've got a lot of good advice from the brethren here all ready so here's my 2 cents: do a lot of research, especially if you haven't seen the box you want in person. Search the threads here and get some feedback on the size and performance of the box you're hoping to find. Search locally as well as on the 'bay and if you're lucky enough try to get one from a fellow collector. Finally, ask any collector what box they really love and most will say it was one they got as a deal. Finding the right box at the right time for the richt price is literally priceless! Good luck!
