Oh, I have, and do, regularly. I check ebay at least twice a week.

As I write this I have a web browser up on ebay's "Completed Sales" page
for "Hammarlund 180". I see three of them as having sold in the last
(however long it is that those listings stay on "Completed Sales"... 30
days I think). One went for $300, one went for $500, and one went for
$610. The $500 one was the "A" model and the other two were straight 180's.
