Just a little while ago I bought a new in the box Grundig g5 for
$59.95; complete with ac adapter, travel pouch, and owner's manual; at
the Radio Shack store in Southside Plaza in Richmond, Va. I believe
this was the last new g5 available at that location. Apparently,
Radio Shack has decided to discontinue the g5, but store managers have
wide discretion over pricing. For example, this afternoon a salesman
at the Chester, Va., location, a few miles away, tried to sell me the
same radio (but a display model with no accessories) for $80 and
change. So it's a good idea to call various RS stores and check g5
pricing and availability

The g5 is a good buy at the original price of $150; for 60 bucks it's
an outright giveaway.
