Thanks

Oh I'm sure they're just looking for offers...
Every time you turn around someone wants to sell
something, but they want you to tell them what you'll
give for instead of putting a price on it.
I NEVER make blind offers on someone else's stuff.
If they want to sale it, they should put a price on it.

Just my .02 worth...

I agree Ron. It's called fishing and it's brought on by greed.

Oh, don't be such a cynic.
It's often rooted in timidity, embarrassment,
the fear of admitting ignorance,
fear if offending friends, fear of appearing
greedy or foolish or any number
of innocuous reasons. An important maxim to remember:

Do not be quick to attribute to malice,
that which is more easily explained by ignorance.

I've been around this hobby a long time and the
typical non collector out there is thinking that
they've got the holy grail of radios, "one only one there is",
a "prototype" and they just want some big gun collector
to come along and make them rich.

As an example, I got a phone call a while back from
a man that had a "prototype" tube tester. He said
he had talked to the folks at Southeby's about it and
they told him that if they had it in their auction the
starting bid would be 100K. He also said the Smithsonian
wanted to buy it, but they wanted to display it for a year
first. When I asked why he hadn't given it to Southeby's
and let them sale it, he explained that he was on full
disability and if he came into that much money the guvment
(that's the way he said it) would stop his checks.
I asked him to send me some photos of it so I could
get the opinion of some experts tube testers I knew.
When I got the photos they showed a dirty, rusty,
60's vintage counter top drug store tube tester.
When I email the photos to some of the "experts"
and asked they what they thought the value of it would be,
they typical answer was $25-$50, IF you could find someone
that wanted it. They didn't.
That's really a difference from 100K that Southeby's
said it was worth...
There wasn't any GREED at work there, was there?

So now typical "non-collectors" are just stupid shysters with get rich
quick dreams?

I don't "collect" (but I admittedly accumulate). I don't build special
additions onto my home to house old radios. Am I a shyster? Can I not
sell a humble old ham rig for the best offer? Can I not simply BUY an
old ham rig and actually use it instead of parking it on a shelf for my
kids to have to deal with when I do the final SK?

Ron, not everybody who enjoys old radios is a "collector". I respect
your "collection" and the efforts you have made to have it but I resent
your constant denegration of people who don't have the same interest.
Last I heard, you don't even "do" post-1928 radios so I don't know why
you're even commenting on this gear.

Lighten up for chrissake, willya?, and realize that everybody doesn't
operate by your standards.

There. Now I've said it. My anti-caustic 1940s AA5 Bakelite flame suit
works very well so have at it.
