Several low/no feedback bidders are suspicious to me.


Right John

This one guy guy just joined Aug.4th. Now he could have just joined for this
auction. The thing is, even though it looks like shill bidding at first
glance, I doubt it is. If this is a shill bidder, he went haywire and lost
all control! No one is going to outbid this guy and pay so much for a
R-1000. I know some collectors will but I doubt this guy is a collector.

But, yes, sometimes I'm amazed at the prices some of these older radios go
for.
But you know what? At this point in my life I can understand it now. Life is
short and may get even shorter with the way this world is politically.
Anything could go down and who knows what.

So, if paying 5 or 6 bills for this radio is going to bring happiness and
joy into this guys life, it's worth it to him and that's that.
