I have checked Ebay off and on the past couple years for shortwave radios

Most are either being bid at the 'average' price one would expect for that
radio or higher than some retail stores. Many times I can find the radio
cheaper somewhere else.Anyone actually had a good deal off Ebay with
shortwave radios?

Sure, I got the R8B I use at the moment for $775.00, I got the R8 for around
$325, and paid about $500 for my R7.

Oh yeah, bought my Stridsberg MCA104 multicoupler there for $50... also got my two
scanners there too, plus other stuff I can't think of right off hand.



Not to bad.
