    Nice deck but seems way overpriced, unless I'm missing something?

    Always had a high regard for the Sony TC880



    A fine deck - but way overpriced IMO. Despite the excellent condition, £1,500 is the very most I would pay for one.

    It's nice, but Ye Gods. And it's a knob short of a full set.

    (And he's not used it since he bought it - why's that then.....?)

    There're some chancers about.

    So that will be £1500 for the deck and £3000 for the ride you will be taken for.
