Can anyone explain this to me???

Tecsun BCL-2000 being sold online
at http://store.yahoo.com/sports-imports/5bashrainred.html

FM/AM/SW Digital 5 Band Shortwave Radio in Red or Black BCL2000
Regular price: $189.95Sale price: (You save: 32%)

I cannot fathom the selling price or the statement about
"regular price"

I want to express shock and dismay, but all I can do is
sit here and shake my head!!!

This radio is like $80 including shipping on eBay.
The Grundig S350 is only $99 plus shipping, online. And
the same price plus tax in a retail store. Right???

What the hell!!!

Sorry. The "sale price" didn't paste in to a plain text message.

Wow! No voice telephone number; no email address; no website.
I wonder what else they sell. Hmmmm! Sports Imports, LTD. Somebody
should fax them and let them know that most other sellers undercut by price
by at least an additional 32 percent.

Unless one takes the time to thoroughly shop for any sort of electronics,
it's pretty easy to pay too much. That seller is apparently counting on it.

These Ebay sellers:

Brochhi
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=3070960 986

and

Liypn
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=3078198 977

are the way to go if you want one of these radios, from what I've seen on
the Yahoo S350/Tecsun BCL-2000 board.

From feedback I've seen, and the "buy it now" price:

Brochhi tends to ship faster (he's near Chicago), but doesn't e-mail as much
as customers prefer. He also calls the Red Tecsun BCL-2000 "rare," which it
is not. Radio = $69.99, Shipping = $14.99, and Insurance (optional) =
$2.00; for a total of $86.98. (He sells the black one $18.00 cheaper --
total $68.98)

Liypn ships a little slower (because he's in Shanghai), but people have been
very satisfied with him. Radio = $41.90, Shipping = $38.00, Insurance
(optional) = $5.00; for a total of $81.90. Same price for red or black.

Thanks for the post, Stinger. I've been exploring buying one of these radios
for the past week and your information seems to be very exact and correct.

Yeah, eveeryone says that Liypn is the guy to buy from. Even with the $38
dollar air shipping charge from mainland China the cost is still reasonable at
about $80.
