New Eton E1 sold for $299.95 today on eBay
 

FWIW - The picture of this Eton E1 XM Radio offered by
The-Shaper-Image was different from their other 'new'
Eton E1 XM Radios listed on eBay by The-Shaper-Image.

I suspect that this was a Customer Returned Radio {Like New}
and Sold at a Discount on eBay to get it 'off' the Inventory.

But even at that; a $200 Discount is $200 Save for a Radio
that has the Full Manufacture's Warranty and a 14 Day
"No Questions" Return Policy from The-Shaper-Image .Com

at least that is the way i see it ~ RHF

I was checking out eBay this morning, and I found that Sharper Image had
a brand new Eton E1, with a buy it now price of $299.95. But the listing
didn't say E1. Instead it said "Etón AM/FM Shortwave XM-Ready Radio
NIB!" That sounded like the E1, but I wasn't completely sure. So I
checked out the page a bit closer, and it was definitely the E1. So I
checked other prices, and most places are selling it for much more than
$300. So I decided I might as well give my new credit card a workout. So
I clicked the "Buy it Now" button, but it was too late. It said "Bidding
has ended for this item." Somebody else must have recognized it as a
good bargain and bought it before I could. Oh well, they'll be getting a
good radio for a great price, and my credit card gets to rest a bit longer.
Here's the link, by the way.http://tinyurl.com/uwemz
