Hey Forum Master, how much does Copper charge to tune and peak a light bulb? Does that include the 11 meter mod? With 102" whips selling for $46 on e-bay, the possibilities are endless.....

HoosierCardinal, yep man it was for real. Someone on here pointed it out on e-bay. The guy auctioned your standard 102" stainless whip and got $46! Gosh, can you imagine that!?! But the sad part is it's a true story. Wonder what he paid for a used radio on e-bay. And oh yeah, the buyer had to pay the shipping fees in addition to the $46.
Hmmmm, I've got a little Uniden Pro510XL sitting around....with the right sales pitch, heck I may get enough money for it on e-bay to buy two new ones! Crazy huh?

Oh heck Bruce, you could make millions! Think about it, as you decide you need some newer equipment, just sell your old radios on e-bay. All you need is the sales pitch. Hmmm try this one:
"Alinco Dx70, "THE CLASSIC". The ULTIMATE 10 meter radio. Never modified but professionally tuned and verified in PERFECT working condition by WA4GHC HIMSELF!! Now you know what that means! It's a guarantee. Starting bids will begin at $1050 and that is the reserve price but it's worth TWICE that! For an additional $35 I can throw in the owners manual which was personally provided by WA4GCH, "THE Legend". For $85 more, I can supply a WA4GCH custom built dipole antenna that has been advertised as 20dbi gain by websites on the internet. This RARE, all-weather custom dipole can be mounted in the attic, indoors, even outdoors in the rain! And the best part, it can be mounted either horizontally, vertically, or shaped like an "L" and mounted both ways! Wow! now that's a versatile antenna! Now all these items can be bought seperately at their reserve prices for $1170, but if you are intersted in the total package only, the reserve price will start at $1150. Don't pass up this incredible deal. You won't find another one like it.
Buyer must pay for all shipping cost including insurance for $2,500 minimum as this package is worth that and more. Don't pass up this deal!!!
Now see Bruce, if you choose your words selectivly, and occasionaly throw out a "made by the Legend himself, WA4GHC" all weather RARE custom dipoles, next thing you know you'll be getting hundres of dollars for your dipoles. Custom VIP gold plated dipoles, commemorative dipoles, oh the list is endless. Whips, oh you bet! Just order a pallet load. And we'll just get a 500ft spool of good wire and I'll cut to the length you request as I drink that keg of Beer. he he Million$ I tell ya, Million$. Amazon dot who? You can rule e-bay. But wait....hmmmm e-bay AND amazon dot......mo money mo money mo money LOL!
