****. I'll sell mine for that, too.

If only it were two or three thousand, I'd be interested...I mean, who
wants a radio that even the unemployed dregs of society can afford?

I'd be more than happy to sell you my R8B for $3000.00

Come on boy, put your money where your jaw flappin Canucky mouth is.

Hey, you know what, I would not sell my R8B to him or anyone else for
$3K.

I would, then I'd run out and buy 2-3 more with the money!

If Drake doesn't come back into the shortwave market with an R9 or
something like that, then I suspect you'll be surprised at what used
R8Bs will sell for five or six years from now.

Not much. Kenwood R-5000s which IMHO is as good as or better than an R8,
sell for $250-$500 depending upon condition and options. A new in the box
RB will probably sell for $3,000, but a used one will be in the $500
range, possibly less.

If the R-5000 was as good or better than an R8 I'd still own one.

I think the Drake has better selectivity. The 5000 is as sensative though,
Just can't beat Drake filters.

I have never owned a Drake Radio before,but I Agree,it is a great loss
to Shortwave that they are not being made anymore.
