I haven't figured out his system, unless he has many ebay accounts and bids

predetermined level? How can one consistently buy radios off the 'Bay and
always sell them for a substantial profit? I thought at one time his
shipping charges were high; but not really if he uses a shipping service to
pack and ship. The Radio Mart chap bought two radios from me some years ago.
When he listed the radios, he made up some bull stories about them. Totally
unecessary-- because both radios were in great shape and did not need
embelishment!!

Does anyone know know his marketing system?

Yep, it is an easy one:

First, clean everything up so it shines.
Second, write an interesting story about the item.
Third, take lots of flattering pictures.

If you do that, you too can sell for top dollar.

Ps. I learned a long time ago that the simple act of cleaning up the scum
off of hamfest equipment made it sell for a lot more. I sometimes went around
to other tables, bought something that was dirt crusted, and cleaned it off
and doubled my money.
