I think a lot of guys are nostalgic about the first receiver they had as a
kid, or for the receiver the always wanted as a kid but couldn't afford.
Now, they've got plenty of money and they just have to get it (especially if
it's in nice condition).

In some extreme cases, the bids may be phony and no transaction ever really
