What would you pay for the cdi FW380i Hi-Fi SYSTEM???

Anything relating to CD-i can be discussed in this forum. From the multiple hardware iterations of the system to the sofware including games, reference, music and Video CDs. Maybe you hold an interest in Philips Media and the many development houses set up to cater for CD-i if so then this is the forum.

How much would this player be worth? ( £ sterling? )
Someone has it for sale for £125 complete in working order, do you think its worth that?

to me it sounds pretty expensive. Although, the system is pretty rare, so it more depends on what you're willing to spend on it. If you think it's worth it, buy it! I don't think you see these systems a lot these days!

I'd only pay something like that for an absolutely brand new mint FW380i still in original retail box then some more bonus material besides. Still it might be worth negotiating the price down to £60 if possible, that's what i'd pay for a second hand Hi-Fi...probably more than I would pay to be honest.

I've seen then a few times on www.marktplaats.nl but never for that amount of money, that is really expensive!
I don't know for certain about this model, but other Hifi sets from philips from the same modell series, aren't build very well. The system allows dust to collect on a lot of fital parts of the system (like the laser lens, and the cassette mechanics), so alot of these systems failed rather early.

Marktplaats is most of the times cheaper than ebay. Probably because it is only regional, once i picked up zelda for 5 guilders, that's about 2-3 dollars.
