I think the real question is whether the bidder is a radio collector or
a radio listener. Collectors as we all know will pay dearly for a mint
radio and if the box and instructions are included the sky can be the
limit. The needs of a radio listener are usually far more modest.
It's clear that at least three people think the radio is worth that
much: The final bidder, next highest bidder and the seller.
