Go up one level in this thread


I am going on a 12 day vacation, starting next week, to Florida and
>have been busy getting ready for it both at home and at work.


well then Enjoy your vacation!
Florida during Spring Break
you ol devil you

i find that its best to take along a very dark pair of sunglasses and to
practice my peripheral vision when walking the beaches with my wife
this way she is clueless as to what i am really looking at
:))



can you give me a clue as to how much the first
>Fidelity Avant Garde is worth?  This is model 6081, that was called the Elite
>Avant Garde Mobile Master.  I would certainly rather have one of the ones from

very nice..
not so much the computer but the way you phrased the question

all of the pertinant items were included in your question
the mark of a true hard nosed collector

firstly i will say if you only are interested in having one EAG in your
collection ,then i would pass on the Mobile
EAG V2's and V6'S do appear on Ebay several times a year and of course play much
stronger then the Mobile

however if you dont mind having more then one EAG in your ever growing
collection the Mobile is a real collectable
in fact even some pretty savy collector's never heard of it,thinking the EAG
2100 was the first to be released

as to value..in a non-Ebay,arms length transaction i would pay no more then $600
for it

on Ebay with prices totally without rhyme or reason it could sell for  $50 or
$5000

Best
Steve
