Hammarlund HQ-180A Record Price
 

This is, I believe, a record price on Ebay for
a HQ-180 series receiver (assuming the winning
bidder went through with it)

I just emailed another HQ-180 fan about that auction. I Have been
watching these for some time now, and I think you sold one recently
that did pretty well. I thought I paid way to much for mine at 495
locally! I had thought this one may go for 800-900. . Amazing.

Also remarkable how some positive published reviews on a used radio
can affect the market price.

Sorry, you are confusing me with dxace1. We are two different individuals.

As I recall though, we both worked for the government, and we've both been to
Djibouti.

Ahh.....bad assumption on my part. Glad to know at least 2 people have
been to Djibouti.

Yes, I was watching that one and thought MAYBE I would throw a bid at it if
the price didn't go too high. Silly me.

I think that makes two 180's I have seen in recent years
going way above the $1,000 mark. It's interesting to
watch these as obviously a lot depends on the condition.

But I am amazed at this level, I would expect only
near NIB to achieve....

Two collectors who both want a collectible can push the auction price
sky high.

Collectors suck (except for Coohoo).

I suspect the shiny chassis was a factor, not just because it was
shiny but also because it sent a message that the receiver is just out
of the box.
