I don't know where you're getting the idea that someone who sells
something at what others are willing to pay, is somehow being greedy.
Anyone has a perfect right to sell something he owns for as much as the
market will bear. He may well need the money to buy food, repair a car
or to pay for medical care.

In the case of boatanchor radios, some are desirable; others are less
desirable. They aren't making them anymore. The supply is limited.
The demand is there. No one has an obligation to cut you a deal because
you don't have the money to pay the going rate. If someone chooses to
do so, thank him profusely.

You might want to reflect on the effect that venting your spleen might
have in future. A guy may be tempted to cut you a break and may
suddenly remember that you're that guy who accused folks of being greedy.
