This is really starting to get crazy. Pretty soon there'll be a Champ in an NOS/NIB box never opened for sale.

Now that's scary!

This is the same vendor that listed the minty 6BQ5-fired blonde Tremolux piggyback.

Those boys must have a time machine hidden in their shop!

:shock:

Wowsers! Man, I hope whoever buys that thing doesn't try to power it up. Sitting that long without being powered on, those caps will need to be changed.

Still, it will make some blooze lawyer very happy.

It's like I've seen with lots of other collections,the person amasses a large collection of the most minty things if they have the money to do it,and the stuff sits collecting dust and the envious stares of friends trusted enough the view the stash,and then the person kicks off and the heirs who have seen the stuff all their lives only see $$$,and then it gets sold,to go buy big screen TVs and new cars and other "important" things.

Like a new $500 phone every six months!

What're they up to now, an 8G network?

There was a Champ up a week or two ago that was nearly as clean, for $1550. I regret not getting her soon enough. This one must have a $3000 box.

" This one must have a $3000 box. "

You know most women feel their "box" is priceless. We maybe onto a new trend, here.
