OMG $700. I thought I'd seen some whoppers on Ebay but this is just TOOOOOOO
much!

The Sony 2010 originally sold for $350 or so, IIRC. I remember paying
$200 for a brand new, in the box, Japan made one in 1999 or so via an
online radio swap site. I got rid of it a year later-traded it for a
Yaesu FRG-8800, which I still use as my main DX radio. The 2010 was a
good radio, but my tabletop still beats it hands down. Anyway, that 2010
on ebay sold for about TWICE what it cost new only a few (five or so)
years ago. I can understand the collector value of a rare Collins or
Hammarlund, but a Sony 2010 isn't that old, and its technology is a
little outdated by 2004 standards. On top of that, there were a zillion
made over 20 years, so it isn't that rare. Only an ebay nut could pay
double what a modern radio cost new. One last thing: I once saw a 1950s
Zenith clock radio go for over $1000 on ebay. And the picture in he
listing was fuzzy, too!
