The thing is that the 2010 is about the same amount of $s if you can
find
one. Not too many go for less than $350-400.

For the same reasons that Edsels and Stratocasters fetch big bucks,
or a piece of cardboard from the 50s with Mickey Mantle's pic on it.

point?


Surprised you'd have to ask,
but there are collectors who assess value to an item
by criteria other than it's functionality.

Just kidding Bart. I'm very guilty of collecting myself and do understand
but my main point is the 2010 and the E1 are both good radios. It's just
getting harder to find a 2010 at a reasonable price and it can be a mixed
bag unless you trust who your buying from.
