Well -- on e-Bay you can find items you won't find elsewhere.
Example - just bought a Zenith 1952 AM table model tube radio in excellent
condition. My folks owned this model in the 50's.
It had new capacitors, all tubes checked and replaced, several parts
replaced, and a complete alignment.
Works and sounds great.
Price $60 -- hey that's the cost of the repairs made on it !!!
My local antique radio shop had a beat up sample for $75
Another example -- for YEARS I hunted for a Kenwood grid dip meter -- found
it on E-bay -- rare bird and built like a tank - beautiful
with all coils and original box -- Price was half the cost of the new price.
Another example -- On a local golf course -- I saw a guy with a golf putter
made from Oregon myrtlewood -- great workmanship and a real golf
conversation piece-- local shops sed WHAT is myrtlewood?
Found on e-bay
Another example - my Mother in law was a WWII Navy nurse - commissioned
officer. She had only one collar insignia -- found one on e-bay, now part of
the family genealogy file. Priceless
Well you get the idea -- free enterprise at its best.
