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.

I have no idea who the seller is. I'm just sick of all the price cops who go
hand-in-hand with all the USEnet cops. What someone asks for an item is nobody's
business but his own. If it's too high, it won't sell. Period.

Aww, isn't that too bad. I guess I should be slapped for commenting..

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.

Possibly not to someone who wants only a receiver.

Well, that might be true, but it seems a pretty weak argument.

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.

That might be true -- but so what? Is it your mission to save the suckers of the
world?

What is wrong with you? I just made a comment on the price. Sheesh, I
think someone needs a nap.

If so, why not start right here in Washington DC? I can introduce you to
thousands of them...

I'm sure you can.
