That's the "Buy it now", not the reserve.

$700 reserve price, wow!

Still too high, I paid less than that for a nearly mint Kenwood TS-
850sat recently.

First, it's none of your business what the seller asks -- if you don't like it,
don't bid on it.

LOL, you need to relax, and calm down. I'm assuming you're the seller
maybe? If not sit down and chill a little.

Secondly, "too high" depends on whether or not it sells at that price, not your
(or my) opinion.

Please get a life. If you aren't the seller, why are you so upset?

Thirdly, the price of one Kenwood has very little to do with the value of a
different model.

Since the TS850S is a much better receiver than a R5000 (if you dispute
that, well, it's your opinion alone, for the most part), AND has a 100
watt transmitter in the same box, it should be worth more.

I've owned 2 R5000's. Nice audio, but $700 is just not a realistic price
for a 20 year old, or close to it, receiver that runs very hot on AC
power.
