keep in mind about 70% of all ebay sellers are WOMEN! They dont have a
clue
about some things, notably radios, and , are more likely to just say
whatever they feel.... based in fact or not. To them, or any guy who is
not
seriously into radio, that is a RARE radio! And, in fact, you could go to
about 2000 garage sales and not find one...which is their basis for
reality.
so, cut these folks some slack. We are into this stuff DEEP, so to us its
common. Well, not exactly common, anymore, anyway. I go to about 8 swaps
a
year, most antique radio , some ham, and I have not seen one in the last
year or so for sale...so, its not as common as you think. but, like I
said,
consider the sellers are not as "into" this as we are, and yeah, they are
hoping to get the best $ they can, who isnt? Not you? I bet you always
try
to make your items sound good when (or if) you ever sell. We all do, its
natural.
But, I dont lie... and, saying its "rare" is technically a lie, but like
I
said, in their world it is... and, in ours, its becoming true
too....except
if you look at all the other SX-28's on eBay... and, how many are there?

Why would someone that obviously knows about radios and collects them
make
a bull**** statement like this? Everybody knows the SX-28 was one of the
most mass produced receivers of that era and are still plentiful. It
****es
me off when people that claim to be collector or lover of the radio
hobby
exaggerate or lie to make an extra buck on a radio. Yes I'm speaking of
a
certain place people auction radios. People like this won't get my buck.

If they are so "COMMON" then everyone who wanted one
probably already has several, so they should go for very
cheap then, right?

LOL

They made a bloody CD manual, didn't they? If there were say, 5, just to
throw a number to the lions, would YOU make one?

From boatanchors, eh? Or just crossposting to make a mess?

Next post I'll chop all others out.

I bought my last WORKING SX-28 at a yard sale. $20.00, included the original
manual. No extra holes, rust, etc. YES, I sleep good at nite.

Cherry SX-28s are scarce. Especially ones with the dial
locks, no rust, no dust, no mods... Them seem to prefer
damp cellars and garages in later life. I have two garage
rats that need full restoration--awaiting my retirement time
in a few years. They also seem to bunch with with SX-42s,
another two locally found items that also liked dark places.
Must be a mating thing?

It's a stacking thing. What else could you put under one of these
radios?
