He offers a buy it now price of US $1,699.00, but has a starting bid of
US
$1,650.00, to which so far, after four days, he has had no bids at all.


The lack of bids could be explained by the price, which would make more
sense if it was reduced by at least $1,000.


Well the item up for Auction ended early.

Someone took the Buy Now option.

Wow...positively astounding price for a Drake shortwave radio. How
could a used shortwave radio possibly be worth $1.6k!!

I know Drake as a small manufacturer who was one of the last companies
to react to collapsing demand for expensive consumer grade HF
receivers. They made a few nice radios over the years, but so did a
lot of other companies.
