Default Almost an Eton E10 Gloat !

Stopped by RS today and they had the E10 on sale for $49.97. Just
as the article I posted about sleazy Eton/Grundig/Tecsun said, the
markup
on SW radios is incredible (E10 retails for $120). At $50, RS is STILL
making a profit ! I bought one (was going to buy two, to have one
new-in-the-box, forever), but when I got it home, the plastic display
cover had a blemish; of course, the RS salesman lied to me and said
that it was new-in-the-box - RS is just as sleazy as
Eton/Grundig/Tecsun !
Maybe it turned out for the best, because the tuning knob felt, as if
it was
goint to fall off, and the buttons were so small, as to be too
annoying.
Also, with the continued demise of SW, what in the Hell was I thinking
!

Who was that guy, who spent $150 on a RS Eton E5 (from E5 gloat) ?
