 Hey everyone welcome back to RetroTech and today I've got a brand new series. I'm starting called CRT MarketWatch. That's right. I'm going to look at recent Sony PVM and BVM CRT sales now This is going to be specifically on eBay for this first edition of MarketWatch, so we're going to be looking at sales data specifically on just Sony PVMs and BVMs sold during October and November in 2019 that's again, that's a fall of 2019 We're looking at about 30 to 35 days of sales data now the sales prices I'm going to show to you do include shipping and there's also going to be notes on each sale About the condition of the monitors and how they were sold in and then at the end I'm going to highlight some very interesting and specific monitor sales that did occur over the past month All right, so let's go ahead and get started now and Before we go any further, please don't forget to like share and subscribe this video if you do like the content and We are trying to help RetroTech grow. All right, so first off We're going to start with the Sony PVM 1344Q. So the first group of monitors here are all analog Only monitors and more of the lower end PVM Types so this is a 13-inch monitor We've got three sales recently on this one and this is pretty pretty cheap for this monitor Most of these were tested to power on but most also needed some type of repair and that's pretty much why they're cheap I mean if you could get any PVM for under a hundred dollars shipped then most of the time It's for parts only which was the case for this one on the 25th However, this 182.87 and 137.27 did test to power on and could have had good screens Just probably needed some adjustments as far as those Potentiometers inside of that monitor for geometry. So the next monitor is a little bit better of a model This is a 1351Q. I've done a few videos on this monitor and We've had some sales data for these monitors sold over the last month and Specifically that first transaction there on the 25th take a look at that that is $458.47 that was advertised as restored Now as far as I could tell on the restoration There was some cap replacement not complete cap replacement and then just some calibrations for colors as well Geometry were performed on that one. So that's why it's a little bit higher than the rest But the others were pretty much just power tested again that 118 2019 was tested to power on but not really more than that and the other two were tested to power on it did show a screen Similar to what you see in this picture here But did not have all the tests run on it But still for $200 shipped there were a couple of decent PVMs that were sold on eBay and that's a pretty good price Other 13 inch monitor sales of note there was one 1353 MD that went for almost $300 a 1354 Q which went for $127 and in a 14 n6u which is the RGB monitor type of that very basic build out on the end series That one sold for $225 now the 1354 Q which is this monitor down here on the right Was or the bottom corner? Was actually listed for parts only so just so you know that again a lot of those ones that are going between 100 to 100 and in $30-40 are listed as pretty much turning on but needing a definite At least some repairs to get back to a good screen again Let's just move on to the 14 m2 sales This was a monitor that moved a lot last month and it's been moving a lot over the last few months. It's a very high-end Analog monitor that only does 240p and 480i But we've got a dozen sales or half a dozen sales on this monitor Got a couple that are right around $200 which were just power tested and then 265 and then these ones that were over 300 were tested and would have shown some type of a game on them They've been used so you could probably get one of these and not expect to have to do a whole lot of Adjustments, but they wouldn't have been recalibrated or restored most likely and then the 200 and the 205 ones were Very limited testing and most likely parts I did note that one monitor was this 1017 for $500 that one was advertised as new in box Now you did see my eBay video about things being advertised as new in box so you never really know without getting it and Seeing if it's actually new, but I'm gonna assume that that even at new in box That's a pretty good price again, even though it's new. It's still gonna be 20 15 to 20 years old So there's still a capability for the capacitors to dry up And also Adjustments need to be made but pretty interesting that there still was a $500 new monitor sold At least listed is sold on eBay The 14 m2 doesn't move as much or 14m for you I'm sorry, it doesn't move as much as the m2, but there were still plenty of sales again These were listed as tested but not really serviced and you're moving up a little bit more since you're getting a more premium Monitor with 800 TV lines. You're getting up to about that $400 range again Just for the monitor that's pretty much tested and I used with games, but not serviced And the 14 L2 is another monitor that's starting to move a whole lot more And I'm sure that the reason the 14 m2 and L2 are moving more is because there's become in less of a stock of the really Higher-end monitors, but these ones are still very very good PVMs that represent some of the best 14-inch PVMs that are not an L5 The L2 and the m2 are very good monitors so we've got four sales figures here for this time period and most of those are over $400 you notice the most recent two were about 450 each these did include shipping, but again, they're not Recapped or very often not even listed as recalibrated at all. So That's just what you should know and then when you get that 299 It was just power tested and didn't have any screen testing done to it. I'm sorry I went too far, but we've got 20 m2 and m4 sales data here again These m-series models are moving a whole lot especially in the 14 m2s And then we actually see a lot of 20 m4s move and a couple 20 m2s here in the last month So at first we've got a very expensive m2 that was sold for $900 shipped I couldn't find any figures on whether that was actually restored or anything It didn't say it was so that one might have just been one that went a little bit higher than it should The others were going around 550 and then we get into the m4s Which are sold upwards of over 700 to 800 dollars as far as a 20 inch one That's not again been restored. There was one that was listed as restored That was the fourth one you'll notice on the very bottom of our list of monitors That one was listed again as restored at some capacitor replacement as well as calibration done to color and Geometry and that one went for $800 but the other ones were not listed so much as having any kind of cap work done And you could see there was one that sold on the 22nd for $828 the 20 m4 that Was sold for 386 dollars that one definitely needed screen repairs including capacitors at the least So I saw that one. It definitely had some issues on it So here are just the other Sony 20 inch PVM sales again non Multiformat these are only standard definition monitors. There was a 2030 that went for $430 a 253 md that is very similar to that 20 m2 that sold for $285 so if that one worked out well, someone got a really great deal on that monitor the 20 into you Another RGB very basic monitor and went for a hundred seventy two dollars and a 20 L2 Was also sold for about six hundred dollars now We'll tell you that I do know that the top one in the bottom one were tested and looked good And so was the 20 into you they were power tested. No restoration have been done to these and His first two models can be quite old and could be troublesome. So they most likely needed probably a couple adjustments and repairs The Sony PVM Multiformat sales and this is a more interesting thing now as I said the inventory on these is very fluctuating Sometimes we'll go months without seeing a 20 L5 or 14 L5 even listed on eBay Or online for sale mostly because these multi formats Are becoming harder to come by but here's the ones that were listed and sold now first off there was a 14 L5 Sold on the 30th for 756 dollars and again that one was listed as restored So it was partial recap as well as calibration of Cap or Calibration of geometry and color But it it was not anything else in that just a little bit of restoration going on And then the one under that was actually not listed as restored at all But it did have some pictures of the screen working and it sold for eight hundred and forty nine dollars So those ones are still you go and the L5 is going very very Expensive still selling for a lot of money And then you've got the 20 L5 which sold on the 14th for just over a thousand dollars shipped Which is pretty standard And especially for one that's not been recalibrated or capacitors replaced And then you got a largely untested monitor on the 23rd that wound up going for 752 dollars So that was a great deal if that one actually worked to get a 700 to get a 20 L5 that Shipped to you for only 753 dollars roughly All right, so there were some sony bvm Sales and again I thought that this time at this time of the year the reason there were so many more m series being sold Is because there's a lot less sales of these really high-end multi format monitors now this month There weren't quite a few a series that sold surprisingly a couple of 14 inch a series And these both sold for 200 260 dollars shipped that's a great price for those monitors But you have to remember they did not include any kind of analog board on the majority at least those first three Sales they didn't include an analog board So you can't it's a pain to get analog signal into that monitor Especially without those analog boards because the boards are really rare So most of the time the monitors are used as parts or backup monitors if someone has that Elusive 68x card, which the very last sale on here. There's a 24 e 1 w you actually did sell on the 20th For over $5,000 shipped and it did include a 68x and other cards It was listed as being adjusted had relatively low hours, but just Definitely the biggest sale of the last couple months as far as a bvm or even any crt is concerned The d-series there were a couple d-series sales. There was a 14 inch that went for 800 again working 14 inch But they did all and in each one of these listings did include The appropriate cards for rgb. So this might be why they're a little bit more on the First couple that d-20 also included the Appropriate cards $2,200 and then the d-24, which is one of the best monitors available sold for $3,000 I'm still demanding this d-series a lot of money All right, so I'm going to look at a couple specific Sales that happened last month and just Highlight them briefly. I'm not going to show you the sellers But if you go and research this on ebay, you'll probably be able to find these transactions The first one was this 20 l 5 And again, this listing did say that the monitor had been turned on and power tested But again, you have no idea what the screen looked like because there wasn't a single picture on The listing that showed the monitor powered on or anything like that. However, it still went for Again, that's $750 mark. So I wanted to show you that specific sale Where that monitor went for $750 and again, if that turns on that's a pretty good deal for a Sony pvm 20 l 5 multi format monitor And then of course the last one I wanted to highlight was this crazy Bvm a series sale now look if you're watching this and you bought this Congratulations, you have one of the greatest monitors that I've never even had the opportunity to see in person But you could probably guess who sold this just based on the advertisement here However, I did want to point out some very interesting things about this sale now I hope this went well for the buyer Because we all know how shipping such a large monitor can be because it did say this one was shipped but again Over $5,000 it did include the 68x card, which is again that super rare card And again a widescreen format on here however I do have to bring this up because this monitor was sold on october 20th at 2 49 a.m So that's a sunday morning at 2 49 a.m. So I don't know if somebody just got done party and and maybe maybe made a little bit of a Late night party buy here, but That's pretty crazy Something like that would happen on ebay, but hey, that's what ebay is all about and four Is for people to do crazy things with their money And again, I'm sure that whoever bought this was thinking about it for a long time And really wanted this monitor Even if they did make it the purchase at the very end of the night in the wee early hours of the morning on october 20th I hope they got it and are extremely happy with it But that's going to conclude market watch just to sum things up again. We're going to see a lot of m2s Uh and m4s are moving right now And again, I think that has to do with more of the lack of higher quality than that monitor is available for sale And once you get over that threshold you look at it spending darn near a thousand dollars most of the time for anything that's 20 inches or more And uh the form of a multi-format monitor or even the highest end PVMs and bvms Thanks again for watching.
