Is Madonna a bonus item included with this discolite or at least a pic of her riding that box?

Yeah, I saw that before... Ridiculous!!!

To me, they're only worth about $200 in great condition. If they actually sounded good, they'd be worth alot more.

Id buy one for $200 in great condition Monolithic!

Problem is Ive never seen one go for that.... If anyone has something nice for that amount, let me know!

Im sure this has been talked about to death, but what do these sound like?

I assume on par with a Lasonic TRC-931?

Ah... so nice ones are going for 'real' money. I remember they were back when the video dropped!

No bass eh? Good to know, because I tried to send this seller an offer since my last post, and for some reason it didnt go through?!

I guess I was spared!

Lights are cool though!

Some called "snappey" bought that one for almost $1000.00 Is he a member here? Crazy to pay that much if you ask me but i seen another awhile back that went closer to $1300.00 which is even crazier!

- 2008-01-28 19:29

This one appears to have been sold also quite quickly...man these are hot items Laugh Out Loud

They'll prolly never sell for $200, but that's how much I'd pay for one. They're some good lookin' boxes, but they sound like crap!

Build quality-wise, the 2 boxes are prolly comparable, but sound quality-wise,... I said this before... My man up the street had a Discolite (and a Conion C-126) back in 1988 and my 931 blew 'em both out the frame!

It's the video. Makes people do wacky things. I remember when Mandy Moore's video "Candy" showed a yellow Panapet ball radio ... prices on eBay went wild... for a while. Until everyone forgot who she was. Or at least forgot about that video.
