Sometimes its the seller who's nuts. Recently I saw a book I needed for my MG on EBay with a starting bid $2 more than I could buy it in the shops. I offered teh guy 2/3 of shop price and he didnt even bother to reply. Well two weeks back he re-listed it with a start of 1/3 shop price ($10.00). I now own the book for that $10. His loss my gain.

What does that amp have in it.........a SSB radio final?
People pay $100 for a pride 100 mobile amp on Ebay.
$250 for old style unused cobra 148s....even though the Texas Ranger 296 is the same radio.
I have seen a well used Cobra 25 GTL with a swing kit sell for $100.
I wouldn't blame the seller.........the buyer is the one who needs a lobotomy.

What about ARC-5 radios WW2 transmitters and recievers we bought them NEW for $10 in the 60's there are 10's of thousands of them still out there .... like bc-348's and bc-342's. Still uneducated people bid them 348-342's up in to the hunderds of dollars and at best there junk. Ive even seen volines 465 mhz class b cb sets ILLEAGAL even to turn the thing on ( its a super regen reciver / transmitter modulated osculator transciver )...on ebay..... So i cant blame guys who get upset when they kick off a 2510 or 2950.
Barum was right even if he never said it!

Some people just dont know (ignorance is bliss on their part) what something is worth or they just want it so bad they have to bid it up.. I see it all the time..

Crafter,
He didnt make a buck, he lost a few. CM I set a price I am prepared to pay (somewhere around 2/3 shop price) and I will not go pat that. Yes I loose a few items I'd really like or need but I don't watse money either.
