A Kenwood R-5000 just went for $230 on Ebay. The Seller had four
positive and one negative feedbacks. His description was minimal, to
the effect that the radio came out of government service and was in
working order. His picture showed what appeared to be a clean unit,
but not powered up, so no apparent sign of life. What do you think,
bargain of the year or too good to be true?

For some reason, it's not showing up in the "Completed Items." Could be
something stupid, like misspelling "Kenwood" (which might also explain the
lack of bids).

I would have sent the seller some questions before bidding.

And the reason for the one negative feedback would be interesting.
