I don't post much at all but have been a member for a couple of years and a lurker for even longer. I've learned a lot from searches & reading posts by the guys here that have way more knowledge than I do. I'm like a lot of us and try to find boomboxes for cheaper than what i'd have to pay on ebay or collector prices. I've been lucky and found a few in pretty good shape at decent prices. I look on craigslist, offerup, letgo & facebook marketplace pretty regularly and had about given up on finding any of the really collectible boxes on those sites, at least for a decent price. Well today I got to be the lucky one & found a unicorn in the wild..lol. I was slow at work and randomly opened facebook marketplace. I didn't search for boomboxes but I guess the algorithms know previous things you search for & they randomly show up in your "top picks". I scroll down & see what looks like the model/id tag on the back of a stereo or boombox. I scrolled right past it and continued looking. As I scrolled back up, I click on it thinking it's probably a stereo receiver or something. When the listing opens up the first pic is that same pic of the tag. I first see the make which is Pioneer and then I look down & see the model which says SK-900. I about fell out of my chair. I was pretty sure that was the very sought after four speaker model so I proceeded to open the rest of the pics. Sure enough, I was correct. The pics looked like it was in great condition and the asking price.......$60! It had only been listed an hour so I immediately messaged the seller thinking I may actually be the first one to respond. She quickly responded & was the original owner! I wanted to meet right then before someone got it before me or offered her more. She couldn't meet until after work and I was nervous all day somebody was going to buy it out from under me. The end of the day came and I breathed a big sigh of relief when I messaged to let her know I was on the way and she confirmed. When we met she said she couldn't believe how many responses she got and that one guy even offered her $75...lol.... but I was the first to respond and she stuck to her word so I got it. Here it is in it's uncleaned glory along with the original owner's manual. Yes!!!
