That deck is only about 10 years old. Plus its still brand new. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Not to mention its a collectors item and a very nice deck.

But no definitely not worth that kind of money.

Edit: After reading the auction he doesnt expect to get that for it. I bet he gets about 500-700 or so. That would be my guess.

there is actually a "following" in the old school collector community. It may go for over $1000

If you read his listing he admits to it being insanely high. I think he taking a good approach to see what people are willing to pay and like mentioned above he will still get some good coin for it.

However I think you may be a nuts if you think age dictates quality. The 7909/7909L are some of the most sought after HUs to date. I don't think I would part with mine or even my 16 year old Eclipse ECD-510 which both work like they were produced and purchased yesterday.

Some things just have their place in car audio history...Sorta like Funky Pup subs.....they will always be a legend....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif
