Hello all, I have a Sharp VZ 2000E to sell. I don't know much about it so don't really have an idea of the value- it was found in a basement at my work, and if we can sell it the the money will go towards our Xmas party and Macmillan cancer research. it has a couple of sliders missing and I have tried to use the turn table- the stylus moves but I can't make it play. I found this forum through google and it seems like you would be the people to help me. Can anyone offer me a sensible price for it, or give me an idea what it might be worth? If it helps I can post a video of it working.

Cheers, Victoria

Nice clean looking unit you've got there. Are you uk? If so where abouts...I ask because these units are so heavy collection is better than posting

I agree if you are looking for a local sale, what area are you in?

Nice looking sharp!

I'm in central Manchester. Collection would obviously be best but if someone is prepared to pay postage I can sort it out through a courier.

As I said I don't know much about it so if you are interested ask me specific questions about it and I will try to answer them!

hi Victoria, I've just sent you a pm. Check it

Just to let everyone know I have checked it again at work and the right speaker is not working. I will pm everyone who has made an offer to see if they want to change or cancel it. Don't want to sell it to someone and they think I've misrepresented it. Cheers, Victoria.

Hi just thought I would give this a quick bump. I've had some good offers which seem to have fallen through, but I still have two offers of £50 on the table. Is anyone prepared to go any higher please? If not it's going for £50!

(I'll leave you with another quick mention of Macmillan cancer support to tug at the heartstrings.....)

hi victoria, check our old dialogue. cheers

I'd be happy to pay upwards of 60 pounds plus postage to the usa.

Hello everyone. Thanks for all your offers and advice. The stereo is now sold (subject to payment being received on Monday) and will soon be off to it's new home in Italy! Thanks very much on behalf of everyone at my work and Macmillan.

By the way I managed to find shipping to Italy for less than £20- that's insured, tracked and with a well known courier. I was really surprised. It's through a parcelmonkey.co.uk . I don't work for them by the way, I just thought some people might find it useful.

Thanks again

Victoria

That's brilliant Victoria, really pleased for you! Thanks for the courier tip, can you let us know how well they ship it please as that would be really useful to know, thanks!
