I talked to Rick Mish a couple years ago on the phone and his rigs are a lot
cheaper than this. So why would would one bid this high?

Easy answer. Radio-Mart is the seller (Martyn in Louisville) and he now has
all sales with private IDs.
Unfortunately, unless constantly watched by eBay private IDs can encourage
the seller (or associates of seller)
to bid on the item and raise the overall prices (This practice is illegal on
eBay - when they catch it).

Radio-Mart disappeared from eBay for a while -- unknown whether eBay
initiated this censorship --
Go to Safe Harbor on eBay with that question.

Do a Google search on this name and eBay --- you will find hundreds of
comments from buyers throughout the Internet newsgroups, etc. -- make you
own judgments from what you read.

I know a lot about Martyn. He screwed me on a SX-28 cabinet. I just was
amazed at the price. Someone had to bid. He didn't bid his own item that
high or is he that stupid? At that price, Ebay gets a good amount of money
that comes out of his pocket.

And he claims it now operates well over Collins book specs. Anyone
really think he has a clue as to what the book specs are on the set?
Anyone think he has measured the s/n ratio and stage gain of each stage
using calibrated test equipment?
Just more of his usual hype. The guy does offer some pretty good gear,
why he has to give all this fluffed up hype is beyond me, he would do
just a good, and would have maintained a better reputation if he would
just tell the truth.
