The pitch:
I am pleased to bring to you for sale this very rare National NC-57M
Communications Receiver in exceptional condition. It is a beautiful
receiver certainly very worthy of being called "Collectors Condition".



I imagine it is poor business economics to sell an item back into the
very same market that you have just bought it in unless you have added
value to it by improvement or a more accurate description which shows
it to be a more valuable item than the original vendor recognised.

His "added value" is pure hype.

Whoever this guy is, he has more nerve than Jesse James (the outlaw
one). He calls this beautiful and in excellent cosmetic shape:

I also liked the part about some guy told him it worked well, but he really
hadn't tested it, so it's probably in good condition. This isn't an auction,
it's a test of faith!

Yeah, especially with the vibrator missing.

He calls this beautiful and in excellent cosmetic shape:

Says he is selling off his "personal collection" of over 400 pcs of Gonset
gear, but "somebody" told him it works good?

That is truly an outstanding paint job! Makes it a one of a kind
collector's radio.
