I think a bigger problem is that some hams have absolutely no concept of
depreciation!!!!

I saw lately a ham trying to sell some PC's that were in the 100-200Mhz
range for over 400 bucks! Saw some others trying to sell some transcievers
for about 30 bucks less than they sold for new, BUT the rigs were AT LEAST
15 years old. I can understand that if there are not alot of those rigs out
there, but when there is a ton of a certain model, then the supply/demand
theory goes out the window and doesn't demand such a high price.......

Hamfests are where one goes to look for a bargain.


And that simple fact is lost on so many people.

And sellers... don't forget supply and demand. If you don't sell
anything, you won't make anything, and maybe that's another reason why
some people drop out.
