Yep, its definitely on the high side. Might be OK for eBay where the
shills bid against you to artificially raise the prices (now you know
another reason for identity theft) and people are so nuts about something
that they will pay out double or triple a decent hamfest price for
something in their dreams.

Yeah, the trouble with that is, the next words out of his mouth after he
told me his asking price were "If I can't get that for it, I'll just put
it on ebay".

By now pretty much everybody knows about ebay and they know they can get
hundreds more than the true worth of something, which of course then only
serves to raise the "true worth of something" if you define "worth" as
"whatever someone will pay for it".

I asked him to call me if he hadn't sold the radio by the end of the
hamfest and I haven't heard from him, so maybe it's moot and he managed to
convince someone to give him his price for it.
