I think the degree of stupidity depends on that. Is it available at retail or not? |

What I will -never- figure out is how these folks know -enough- to understand what they are bidding on where a specialized item is concerned, but not enough to know what's exhorbitant. I mean, it's not like some total newbie with little or no SW knowledge is browsing Ebay and says "Golleee, what's this? I'm gonna get me one o' them" Or is it? |

I think what happens sometimes is, Some people put a real high number on an item thinking nobody will bid much past what its worth and some other genius with the same idea does the same thing and Viola!! he gets screwed trying to gain the edge.

Assuming the bidding is on the level here, that looks like what might've happened. There is not one but two people who want to pay more than $190. So far. |
I think that is exactly what it is. Kinda scarry huh?

"the captain" wrote in message om... this is how stupid: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...sPageName=WDVW Baaaa ha ha ha ah!! I found one of these at a neighborhood yard sale for all of $4.00 this past Summer! Here's another E-Sucker Auction just waiting for a schmuck-a-doodle to bite upon.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...3606 631&rd=1 |
Actually this is what make America great/stupid? Does anyone really think a
new Ford F150 basic truck is work $35,000, or a house of 1000 sqFt in California worth $500,000? It's what someone is willing to pay! "the captain" wrote in message om... this is how stupid: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...sPageName=WDVW |
The ANLP1 appears to be available at Universal Radio. If so, it's
probably available at other places as well. I hate to see anyone get the short end of the stick this way, but you have to do your homework before bidding on any item. Maybe the 'winner' of this auction will eventually find out how much he overpaid and learn a valuable lesson. Steve "T. Early" wrote in message ...

We didn't see any obvious place in the U.S for purchase of this item.
The closest shingle was Radio Japan asking $133.00 U.S. funds less shipping. Guess they're (ebay seller) pretty good at marketing their product. John the captain wrote: this is how stupid: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...sPageName=WDVW |
Guess he wanted it more than anything else at the moment.
Not unlike the guy a couple of years ago that paid $2,000 for an CRF330 in mint condition. Same guy was on a buying spree for about four months picking up every mint (or so advertised) nice Sony and Panasonic shortwave radio. He paid over $1,000 for a 6800W orange version. He got a stove-sized Panasonic RF 9000 for close to $4,000. A 4800 and 4900 Panasonic went for around $800.00 each! All nice pleasant radios to be sure. But worth those prices...no way. I guess if you think it's rare and ya gotta have it price is no limit. Absolutely flipping amazing!!
