Went to a blockwide yard sale this SAT morning. A woman had a Radio Shack
Pro-2037 I bought for $5. She was finishing up her sale and had had $35 on it.
Said it was practically brand new and she knew nothing about it (which she
clearly did not). I offered her $5 which she declined. I smiled and walked
away, she changed her mind and sold it to me. To be honest, I have a dozen
scanners bought precisely the same way --and with the same nonchalance-- at
sales. I didn't really care whether I bought it or not. My habit is generally
to "loan out" some of these extra scanners to friends --to see if I can get
them hooked on the scanner hobby. Some folks take to it, some don't.
