WOW ! you sure have NO idea what you are talking about !!!!

the 55 is NOT AT ALL RARE !
it DOES NOT have advanced circuitry over the 2010 !!!!!!!
It DOES NOT even have a sync detector !!!!!

the average price on ebay for the 55 is $175 to $250 depending on what it
comes with, hard case or soft case etc....

but you are so clueless, I am not sure what I can teach you.......



All the bids were posted at the end of the auction and
the Sony ICF-SW55 is a rather rare radio and is also
an upgraded circuitry version of the venerable Sony 2010.
I see no problem with this auction. Perhaps if you want to
be an self-appointed "e-Bay Cop" you should contact e-Bay
directly and offer your services to them at no charge instead of
wasting your time in the ham radio NG's?

How does the red velvet dude come across all those old boatanchors?

No problem? The radio sells every other day on Ebay for $200 or so. I own
one.

Agree completely that this looks on the up and up. The high bidder
looks real enough. The other bidder who has zero feedback initially
looked suspicious, but his bidding history looks ok. He bid on three
different SW55's all listed by different sellers. If the radio is in
the condition the seller says it is and if the buyer is willing to pay
the price then why not. It's the buyers money.

Contrary to what the original poster hinted at there is nothing wrong
with this auction that I see. But maybe the original poster will
respond back with specifics about why he feels this auction is
suspicious. Any one can assert the auction looks suspicious without
giving a reason.

well, may not have been shill bidding but out of control bidding, the next
55 just went for $255, that is $125 less than the other one !

Call your Congresscritter. Get 'em to propose a law against 'out of control bidding'.

You worry way too much about how other people spend THEIR money, and that means YOU have
a PROBLEM!

What I see is someone who wants one of these radios, nothing more, nothing
less... Did you bother to do a "search by bidder"? Bet not. Just because
someone has a zero feedback doesn't make them a shill bidder.

Check his bid history for yourself. This individual has bid on three
different auctions, by three different people, for the SAME model radio.
Research before you accuse! Not researching makes you look like the
dumb-ass in the end!
