Sehr schöner Zustand. Nichts gebrochen oder ähnliches. Funktionen auch alle gegeben.
This is a buyer’s market at this price only if you value rarity over value; against your own comp set, €550 sits well above the €440 75th percentile and roughly €219 over the median, so it reads ambitious rather than fair. With just 2 recent comps, the benchmark is thin, but the price is clearly on the high side for the current used market.
The upside is that this is the kind of classic vintage integrated that can be worth paying for if it’s genuinely clean, original, and fully working: these Sharp pieces appeal for their distinctive build, period-correct sound, and collector interest. At €550, I’d want proof of service history, quiet controls, and no missing knobs, covers, or cosmetic surprises; without that, it’s a hold or negotiate, not a quick buy.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Sharp is a Japanese electronics company founded in 1912 by Tokuji Hayakawa, who began with a small metalworking workshop in Tokyo. The company’s name comes from its early “Ever-Ready Sharp” mechanical pencil, and its broader corporate identity grew out of a long history of practical consumer innovation rather than specialist audio alone.
In audio, Sharp has been associated mainly with mainstream consumer hi-fi and AV rather than ultra-audiophile hardware. Over the decades it has produced items such as radios, televisions, receivers, and other home-electronics components; in the modern era its audio presence is tied more to compact systems and mass-market electronics than to a deep catalog of standalone amplifiers, DACs, turntables, or headphones.
In market terms, Sharp is best understood as a heritage Japanese consumer brand with periodic involvement in audio, not a dedicated high-end hi-fi marque. For knowledgeable buyers, that means the brand carries historical legitimacy and recognition, but its reputation is closer to reliable mid-market electronics than boutique or reference-grade specialist audio.
