Nice lookingKenwoodR-5000Receiver with the
hard to findKenwoodVC-20 VHF Converter.http://cgi.ebay.com/_W0QQitemZ270159086992

But currently there is anotherKenwoodR-5000Receiver
also with the hard to findKenwoodVC-20 VHF Converter
on eBay at this time too . . .

Plus there are two moreKenwoodR-5000Receivers
listed on eBay at this time also.

FWIW - I Posted your eBay Auction and the rest to
theKenwoodR-5000Receiver Group on YAHOO !http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kenwood-r5000/

The new BIN price, which is probably also the reserve price is still
too high. Looks like an early retirement plan has been put on hold.- Hide quoted text -

Roadie,

Seller states "the reserve on this had to be set
at what I consider to be a more than reasonable
level ABOVE $600."

Open Bid $400 Reserve Price $600+ BIN $800

The math is more likely: Open bid = $400 BIN Price $800 = Reserve
price

If his new reserve price is $800 that would certainly be ABOVE $600

But the point is still that a Kenwood R5000 with an extremely limited
coverage VHF adaptor is not worth much more than the price of the
receiver with the optional AM wide filter installed.

Roadie,

Please Don't Read Into Something that is NOT THERE !

Seller states "the reserve on this had to be set

"reasonable level ABOVE $600." :
Means over $600 but less than $700

Around $600 means close to $600 : $575~$625

Mid-$600s means Around $650 : $630~$670

High $600s means close to $700 : $675~$699

$800 BIN Means $800
