For a collector, I could see $300, or MAYBE even $400. These two
brand-new
ebay members have bid this up to over $500! No way this is real, or at
least these are not bids by people that know anything about the used
radio
market.


I just love it when someone sees shill bidding around every corner, under
every rock and behind every
tree.

I never, ever, ever will pay a radio off someone unless they take Paypal for
credit cards or just credit cards alone. If the person is honest, and knows
he has a good working radio, and he sees you have good feedback too, there
is NO reason he would be scared to take a CC.

It protects all parties except a scam artist.
Me like a dummy was so tempted by a new Lowe HF-250 last week, I was ready
to send off cash to some guy in Germany for it. Yes he had great feedback,
but as much as I wanted the rig, and even watched acution to completion, I
never bid on it.

So if they don't take a credit cards, and the radio is over $80, then no go.
