    This is more a curiosity rather than deal since it's still so friggin expensive, but I've never seen one for sale before:

    I don't know to post this here or in the hilarious sale ads...

    Someone has taken an original Bifrost 4490 and put it in a Christmas cookie tin box.

    A few years ago someone on ebay dumped like 10+ bifrost boards for $20 a pop. Could be one of those boards?

    Possibly. Why would someone dump all those boards for that price?

    Either way, it is a pretty good deal for a good DAC with discrete output. I like the 4490 sound. One could also put in a more decent case.

    From FB marketplace: Schiit Aegir for $525 ($500 + 25 for shipping).
    https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/515876649848533/. In the listing he mentions having a second one as well.

    Seller only has one item shipped so not much of a track record, so do your homework first. It's possible he has feedback elsewhere, making this a good deal.

    I'd avoid this, don't think its a good deal. That's an old tester that sells for $100 or less. And when people sell their "whole tube collection" what they usually mean is "I took out all the stuff that sells for over $50 and here's the rest of the stuff I cant be bothered listing".

    Maybe if you have a shop where you can resell stuff on to customers.

    EDIT: @archer88 , please post the list !

    Great find. That was posted a couple of days after the post Armaegis linked, so they obviously didn't get any bites on the whole set and are willing to split.

    I'm keen, but not keen enough to bug him directly :confused:

    Well, there is enough JJ 300B, which retail at >US$100, to make me think there might be some value. Lot of Sovtek in boxes about the right size for 6AS7G, which used to be US$20, but now retail a lot more since production stopped.
