Hello, I just got hold of a Grundig YB 500 in new condition (I think it was a Christmas gift that was never used). Since I still haven't opened the box, I am considering auctioning it off on Ebay. How much would one of these be worth new with all the accessories? Also, if I use gloves in the process of doing so, would a quick test evaluating the functionality decrease or raise the worth of the radio?
You can always hope that there is a bigger fool out there who actually
wants tht thing. The YB500 was just about the worst excuse for a
receiver ever buit. It is a monumnet to just how un ergonmoic and
unfriendly you can make a product if you try. I owned one, and I
hated it. Try and use the the things, and you will discover why the
YB500 was truly unloved.

So there was a Yacht Boy 500?

I was wondering if he was taking about the Grundig Satellit 500.
