Yeah $255 is a bit of a crazy price for one of those.
I guess some guys must be desperate for one.

You can get a better idea of real current value by looking he

Bear in mind that eBay prices often get bid up to about 200% to 400%
of what most of us think is "reasonable!"

Hi all,

I've been shopping around for something to get on 6m before summer is
over. I recently found a FTV-650B 6m transverter that would go with my
FT101B outfit on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...18093 83&rd=1

I bid $100 and was planning to maybe go to $150. I was looking good on
the auction until last night. I checked in this morning and the bidding
has reached $255. This seems a little steep since I bought a my FT101B
station complete with the VFO and phone patch/speaker, mic, extra final
tubes, etc., for about $350. Does anyone here know how much these
transverters are worth? I've looked all over the web and can't seem to
get any idea. Any input is much appreciated.

Cheers!
