Default Boatanchor prices

That my friend is exactly why I am doing so well, in spite of the
greedy few
scratches and flaws that never were mentioned.

It comes down to ones value system, but please, list every noticeable
fault and then set the price to where the item is a bargin for
someone- just like it is.

Anyone with money who is older than 60 will forever raise my suspicion
when selling or repairing something for me.

Excuse my cynicism, but it is a bit ironic that a person in their
sunset years who is closer to leaving every earthly possession behind
would have an inordinate affectionfor money and *the tightest squeeze
on things.

It must be the pride of life stage, but the bubba with little more
that a pair of Kmart shoes and a push mower to his name is the one who
tends to be the most generous among, not those with worth!

kicked one too many times when I was down on money *in SC

Mr. Fred ,you are certainly entitled to an opinion, This opinion as
stated only shows stupidity, being honest has nothing to due with age
or position in life.People that work hard ,manage well,and make good
decisions always seem to do better in this country..Ever notice that?

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.
