The same comment could be made about guys that pay $800.00 for a Sony
6800W, $3,000 for a Sony 320, $5,000 for a Panasonic FR-9000 or $100.00
for a Radio Shack DX160 or $30,000 for a wooden cased floor radio from
the 1930's. Most SWL's looking for a radio to use would pay far less
for a used Kenwood R5000, Icom R71 or Japan Radio and get a lot more
performance for their money.

The guy may be a collector and as we all know collectors are governed
by a whole different set of rules than users. And if the guy is from
Japan, they have a propensity to bid the sky to complete a collection.
