The last 3 auctions on EBAY for "Unused" Old style Cobra 148 GTLs ended up selling for over $250..........Untested and "Sold as is".
I went through Copper's CB radio list on there website and found the Texas Ranger TR296 selling for $135.00...........same doggone radio as the older style 148 at 1/2 the price with a warranty.
Do these Ebay bidders have more money than they have brains..........go figure.

P.T. Barnum said it well:
There's a sucker born every minute. But really, if people are on the internet it really puzzles me why they dont do research on what they see on ebay. After all that is what the internet is all about,
++ information ++ and it couldnt be easier!

Wake Up America !!!!!
