Thanks Tim for the good word. I have never had a radio that did not sell
for the price I needed for it, but as you know there are some people that
want you to give them away. I guess those people will have to wait till
next year and drive to that Ohio hamfest and fight the crowd.
PS: This is the add from AES on the 857 today:

***YAE FT857 YAESU MINI HF/6M/2M/430 XCVR $849.95

Tim, looks like I could save someone $ 100.00 on a like new 857 Yaesu.

Joe:

1st let me say THANK YOU Joe for finally
listing a price. I for one will not click through to get
on your web site to see it. Some guys have software
on their web servers setup to peer inside your PC.
Others make a few cents each time, with PopUp ads.
Not sure which your deal is, and I really don't want
to know.

I LOVE this radio (FT-857), just purchased one
BRAND NEW from AES at the 2003 Dayton
Hamvention for only $739, which of course included
NO SALES TAX and FREE SHIPPING to my door.
Also was able to put it on my credit card, with no extra
fees. Joe do you take Credit Cards? Is shipping included
in your $750 price? Do you tack on any sale taxes?

My FT-857 was the favorite rig at this years Field Day. It
blows my FT-100D away in ease of use. And how I love that
16 different color multi display. I think I want another one,
but I'll wait until AES has another SuperFest in Milwaukee,
by that time they'll probably be selling FT-857's BRAND NEW
for $699. I also picked up a FT-897 (another favorite at this years
Field Day) at Dayton's 2003 Hamvention for ONLY $829 same
out-the-door deal as described above.
