If you've been thinking about buying an R8b with the VHF converter, there's a used on on ebay that's an "incredible" deal. The listing says "The current Drake price with the optional VHF CONVERTER for the R8B is $1,765+ so save with this auction."

The opening bid he's looking for? $1800.

Why buy new when you can get a used one for a little more?

I see that he's taken the auction down. Probably doing a bit of rethinking.
