was already up to $1670 when #5 popped it only $30 more. Then #3 kept
increasing it higher over his previous bid. Nope...I think the seller
got real lucky on this one.

Unless bidder #3 was the shill, and had no idea what he was doing...

I would be amazed beyond belief if the sale actually goes through and the
radio actually changes hands at that price.

I was at a ham swap meet in Spokane Washington back in the 80's. A
guy had a same-as-new factory wired Johnson Ranger II for $100. I
didn't think I would ever have a use for it, so I passed. Kicking
myself ever since.

I watched that ranger when it was first listed with a minimum starting bid of $500.

I thought it was outrageous then and I still do!

I think it's just a sign of the times. Have you seen the muscle cars
going for over $1-million at action? That seems a little outrageous
too! Especially when we paid $3,200 for a brand new 1967 Pontiac GTO.
People want these things and are willing to pay an arm and a leg for
them. The prices for things no longer produced are only going to go
up if there is a market for them.
