1. Sales result of How much would you pay to buy LD players?

We received four offers to buy LD player at \50,000(JPY).

It seems that there are still many LD player users who have LD . PIONEER service center still repairs their LD players so we are willing to sell them when they arrive to our stock.

2. How much would you pay to buy Cartridge case ?

We would like to offer very popular item , Cartridge Case FR K-5.

Hi-Fi Do has sold 10 units of FR K-5 for three years .The unit price is \7,000(JPY). This case can hold 5 cartridges including other type except FR. FR-5 is very popular with audiophile such as SAEC ceramic head shell sold by Auction in Japanese Online Newsletter No.17.
This is not auction and the highest price will not be disclosed until the closing date, so we are looking forward to finding out the highest price for FR K-5.

This item goes to the person offering the highest price when there are other applicants .

4. Auction for The first issue of Stereosound Magazine

We would like to provide auction for the first issue of Stereosound Magazine. This is very rare and valuable magazine which is the only one copy left in our stock　even though Hi-Fi Do has 7 years experience in handling audio magazines . That shows what a rare magazine it is.
Hi-Fi Doﾕs president decided to sell such rare magazine by auction because it is commemorative auction for the first issue of Hi-Fi Do 's English Online Newsletter.
This magazine was published 1967. The fourth cover is mended with scotch tapes as it is so old.

There was attractive article which title was Chart for Speakeritone quality.It shows tone pattern by radar chart. We are not sure that this article was evaluated well or not, but we felt enthusiasm to produce new audio magazine to audiophiles in those days.
