r/bose on Reddit: Bose SoundWave IV (WHAT'S THE DEAL?)
April 26, 2024 -

Why am I seeing such varying prices online? I see some going got 89$, some for 300-400$ plus and some going for well over 1000-1500$

What is the actual selling price for a good condition used (BOSE SOUNDWAVE 4 WITH PEDESTAL AND REMOTE.)

I want to make sure I'm making enough money off of selling this, don't want to undercut myself.. I have an offer for 200$, already.

Why am I seeing such varying prices online? I see some going got 89$, some for 300-400$ plus and some going for well over 1000-1500$ It has been discontinued. So some people are paying more than the retail price to get a pristine "new in box" system. While "Open box" systems appear to be selling for around or under retail price. What is the actual selling price for a good condition used (BOSE SOUNDWAVE 4 WITH PEDESTAL AND REMOTE.) It's called the Wave SoundTouch IV, no one really knows what the price is now. The only real idea would be to look at what others have sold it for using the eBay Sold Items listing. Some standard Wave IV's show up (no SoundTouch pedestal) in that listing as do broken ones, so be careful when judging prices. I want to make sure I'm making enough money off of selling this, don't want to undercut myself.. I have an offer for 200$, already. I will say that $200 does seem to be quite a fair bit under what others have sold it for. Even the pedestal alone has sold for more than that. It seems that most have sold between $400-$600, with a few reaching in the thousands. It all depends on the condition, information, & photos provided in the listing.

I've owned one of these for about 4 years. The CD player stopped being able to read CDs about a year and a half in (after warranty expiration, of course). I paid about 40 bucks to get it fixed and a year later it broke again... The sound quality is pretty fantastic, and that it works as an apple airplay is so great. but the fact i can't use one of its main features is a real annoyance.

I have one of these that I got from Goodwill for $10. It's surprisingly good. The sound quality, while not hifi, sounds better than most Bluetooth speakers you can get today. The stereo separation is not bad if you are right in front of it. I use mine as a desktop speaker. If you are going to put it in a small room, it will be fine for playing CDs and radio. When these were new, they were over $300. If you want it, offer $50 and make sure the CD works. I don't think it's worth much more. More on reddit.com

I had the same issue. Give this a shot, since Bose decides to not archive firmware themselves. Download the firmware on this repository archive and burn it on a CD-R: https://github.com/bosefirmware/cd-updates/tree/master/wave-systems/wms-series-3-and-4 More on reddit.com

Best way to stream audio to Bose Wave Music System IV
The Bose Wave System IV had an optional Bluetooth adapter available from Bose this purpose. There's one on eBay here , you may find it cheaper if you Google around. Otherwise any good Bluetooth receiver plugged into the aux jack, such as this one should do the trick. More on reddit.com
