Forgive my ignorance, but what is so special about this radio that
would fetch such an obscenely high amount of money? I wonder if the bid
is a joke. Good luck to the seller on collecting that.

Zenith Stratosphere's are one of the most collectable radios, and they DO
fetch extremely high prices. The one in question will no doubt fetch over
$100,000 for the buyer once it's been completely restored. Radios like the
Sparton "Sleigh" (a blue mirror-faced radio with otherwise pretty common AA5
innards) can go for as much as $5000. And that's a table radio.

Yes, I was just about to say the same thing. Once the cabinetry is repaired by a
competent individual, and the electrical work is gone through it would certainly
be worth much more.

Someone bidding that kind of cash knows what they are doing.
