all he did was question the price. What the hell is wrong with that.
He didn't flame the guy, talk trash or any such thing but mention that
the price was, according to him, off base. I saw a 736 sell at a hamfest
with most of the access. listed on this one for $750, top price

Sorry...you're incorrect on that point. Post #3 or so was:

Get with the real world loser. A 736 is not going to sell for $1000
unless Brit Spears left tit is the tuning knob....and then maybe not.

Pretty much counts as a flame. THE-RFI-EMI-GUY just pointed out that there was
not a rig which covered 220 and 1.2 gig. Don't think the TS2000 covers 220,
but not sure about that.

The radio sold for a grand....that's fine, as NN said, good luck with it. MY
post was that most FT736R sans the 1.2 gig module and 220 module sell for $500
to $700....and that the 1.2 gig module was in demand (as is the 220 module...I
then asked that anyone wishing to sell one contact me). I did a quick search
on the prices (and even on "ePay") but most of the rigs which I could find did
sell in that range...and the 1.2 gig module does tend to sell for $400 and up.
If the rigs sell, the price must be acceptable to the purchaser and thus is a
"fair" price. The unit sold. The price is valid. QED. No rant, no
price-cop. Think that came with NN's first post.

Thin skin? Heh...I'm in sales. Anyone want to sell an excellent condix
FT736R w/220 and 1.2 gig modules for $500 or so? I'm in the market. No?
Didn't think so. Wish you were right....I'd have 220 all mode capability right
now!

Stop your damn whining and bitching.
Next time you have PMS, stay off the internet.

Heh...this is USEGROUP...get real. Take your own advice, please. No bitching
or whining here. Just posting. And lets get back on the air, off the
computers!
