It's been a couple of weeks now since several people scored these

eBay,
although a couple have. This guy:

actually bought a couple from someone else for about $290 and is

now
trying to resell at least

For others who bought them, what's your impression? While I love

what
they did in terms of miniaturization, I have to say I'm not knocked
out by the performance. It's decent, but I don't think it's two

bills
(retail) better than a 7600GR.



Why would someone buy a SW07 on EBAY for 290 and then start a new
auction with a base price of 270? Seems a little risky to me just

to
make what could only be a few dollars for a lot of trouble. Any
ideas?


IMO, that just eBay. The person does sell quite a few radios, and my
guess is he expects to turn this one over for at least some profit.
If you read his blurb (the one that says there are 3,000 memories!),
he seems to be implying that there's some value added in him having
"checked out" the unit.(?) We'll see if he misjudged the demand, but
he can always sit on it for a better time I suppose.
