Nope...I think the seller got real lucky on this one. Unless bidder #3 was the shill, and had no idea what he was doing... I would be amazed beyond belief if the sale actually goes through and the radio actually changes hands at that price. Check out this Ranger 2. http://cgi.ebay.com/Johnson-Viking-R...QQcmdZViewItem |

A guy had a same-as-new factory wired Johnson Ranger II for $100. I didn't think I would ever have a use for it, so I passed. Kicking myself ever since.

I watched that ranger when it was first listed with a minimum starting bid of $500.
I thought it was outrageous then and I still do!

I think it's just a sign of the times. Have you seen the muscle cars
going for over $1-million at action? That seems a little outrageous too! Especially when we paid $3,200 for a brand new 1967 Pontiac GTO. People want these things and are willing to pay an arm and a leg for them. The prices for things no longer produced are only going to go up if there is a market for them.
