Default FS: Cobra 2000 GTL $300 a steal

This is Bill from Morgan Hill.
And Bill Good was very well thought of in the CB Tech Community.
He was an interesting fellow, and as MV says, it highly missed by those he
got along with.

I was just poking around the other day trying to figure out what a nice
2000GTL would sell for.
I have one in the used stuff I would like to part with.

There is a brand new, old stock on ebay selling for $355.00 and the reserve
isn't met.
I have had people tell me that they have paid over $500 for one like this.
Not sure why.
But it goes to show ya, that it is whatever the market will go to. This
would be a great
radio to re-introduce into the market. Problem is, so much of the parts are
in short supply/
Or totally NOT available. The PLL, the Counter Chip, the Finals, and on.

This is my first post on here in maybe 5 years. Hello to all those that were
customers
over the past. I'll try and look on here a couple times a week.

73's Bill

Hello MV:

No Bill Good lived near Pinion Hills Ca, different Bill.

Yeah its a good radio the 2000. And yes you have a very good point there
it was pretty too look at.

How many times have we all walked into a radio shop/store and told the guy
there that don't try to BS us because we are Bitchen type of guys who
knows whats happening. Then brain disconnect happens, and say how much for
that pretty radio there............

Jay,
Is that the same Bill from Morgan Hills, CA?

On the subject of the 2000. Even with the design performance issues, not
that a stock radio was that bad, the 2000 was one of the best looking
rigs that came out of that time, as far as I'm concerned. The Cobra 2000
was just a good looking radio that did a decent job with transmit and
receive.

I have a couple of them that I wouldn't take $400 for.
