Close to a record price for a Panasonic RF-2900
|
|
I'd bet that SRII could fetch more than the price of a new SRIII if
it's in decent shape. I guess prices like $300.00 for an RF-2900 shows there still is a real interest in shortwave radios...especially if they are retro styled and in very good condition. I enjoyed a Panasonic RF-5000b I found at an estate sale a while back. The hunt is much fun as the "kill" so I'll keep trolling the estate sales for bargains. I remember playing with an RF-2900 and RF-4900 at EEB in Vienna, Virginia when the radios were new! Sheesh!!!!

HJS,
Since it was described as "OOP" {Opened Otherwise Perfect} Like New [Mint] with the Original Box, Documents and Accessories. This eBay Auction for this "Classic" Radio had to be viewed as a "Collectors" Sale. Many 'collectors' will buy several radios with 'extras' over the years to acquire a Complete Radio "Like New" In-the-Box; with Complete Documentation; and Full Accessories; and the 'collector' will spend a lot more. Here some Lucky Collector, got a Deal an found EVERYTHING in One-Package for a Good Price. [ Remember that the Mind Set and Motivation of a "Collector" is different the 'average' Radio Enthusiast. ] - The One - Wants To "Possess" THE RADIO ! - The other - wants to 'use' the Radio. Enjoy Listening to 'your' Radios and . . . Dream of the 'possibilities' that a New Radio will Bring to Your Listening Enjoyment :o) .. jm2cw ~ RHF .. .. |

Is it one of a kind????
Lovely early home audio center, but not at that price. There are too many other good looking receivers that are comparably styled and have the same deep sound for a fraction of that price. |
Your SR 2 is worth more than a new SR 3, and is probably a better radio.
Congrats on your $7.00 score! -- Dave, Kenwood TS-2000, Kenwood TS-930s, Uniden BC 780xlt, Pro 95, VX5R, YB400pe, SR3 "Conan Ford" wrote in message 3.159... wrote in ups.com: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...051&item=57374 56321&rd=1 Seeing old stuff like this sell for so much makes me want to sell my Superadio II that I found at a pawn shop for $7 a few months back.

Hi I don't know if it's one of kind, but it's in great condition judging from the looks and what the seller describes. Remember it's 65 years old. A collectors item. Now these bidders are the real hard core radio McCoys. Scroll all the way down and look at all the great pictures. It's a pleasure to look at. Lucky |

No doubt...it is a nice looking radio and a nice piece of furniture
too. I understand how collectors focus on and appreciate details that are not apparent to most of us. I was at an auction not too long ago where an attractive but otherwise unremarkable pembroke table went for $350,000 because it had a makers label. Without that label it might not have reached 1/10 that price. The buyer and seller are certainly happy with the radio deal, and that is what counts for them. Lucky wrote: wrote in message ups.com...

You can find Superradios cheap at flea markets and outdoor weekend swaps.
When the public sees them they think they're like any other cheap portable radio, so only those who know what they are see their value. I have two Superradio I, two Superradio II (one boxed), a Superradio III, and several Radio Shack versions and probably have less than $50 invested in all of them. A few months ago I found a bit ratty, but perfect working Superradio I for $2 at a weekend drive in swap meet. For some odd luck a local swap meet dealer who I know always picks up at least one Superradio I or II during the winter months each year and I usually end up with it for $5 or so.
