Ludicrous indeed.
Both 0 feedback newbie bidders who are driving the price up have
registered
within the last week, so it looks like its safe to say theres some shill
bidding going on here or something.
I don't know what these things go for on average, but even the first legit
looking bid of $200 seems mighty steep to me for a chopped up band plan
old
scanner like that.
Hell I couldn't even sell an AOR 1000 for $100 on ebay, and that scanner
is
leaps and bounds better than the 43.

Fishy indeed.
Even the names damselfly75 & fishman495 ring the same ding on a bell.
Hopefully this bozo will end up with the high bid on his own radio.

What a world class idiot this everly1125 must be.
I wonder if he knows that he could have got a brand new, top of the line
Icom, Alinco, AOR or Yaesu for just a bit more.

Have had a few words with this fishman.
I asked him why a decade old scanner thats worth maybe $100 tops is going
for $300 .. Anything special about it ?
He said:

"For your information, I have just recieved payment for the scanner that
you said wasn't worth much. The reason this scanner sold so quick, is
because as most Pilots are aware of, this scanner is the Pilots choice, the
pre ban pro 43, not the new ones. The person that paid over $300.00 for it,
said they are going from 275-450. at the air shows......hmmmmm. So maybe
your not the smarter than the average bear.....I know my stuff. I had this
unit since new and I know what it's worth......so see ya....."

Pilots choice ? And $450 at air shows ?
Maybe I'm missing out, but I go to 4/5 airshows a year average, and I've
never seen any bought and sold there.
Don't really think offhand that theres that many folks with that kind of
money to blow at air airshow to buy a scanner on a whim.
And what good would a 1 way radio do a pilot ? Pre ban ? That affected only
the cellular range, not a range of primary interest to pilots.
This guy is as flaky as a fresh cooked biscuit.
