Odds are those are scarce radios, and they're priced for collectors.

The Norelco includes "Blofold's radio in 007 Diamonds are Forever" as part of the description - so Bond fans who just have a license to listen may be willing to pay a premium for it.

Just call it free enterprise -- folks price things the way they want
Price too high -- no buyers
Rich folks who collect -- money is no problemo
Pretty simple

You wouldn't want price fixing -- or would you ?

the norelco has a broken antenna and is not even worth $100, only a
fool would pay the universal radio price for a broken radio

Scarce but not utra-rare. I got one in good shape on e-bay within the
last year or two, with its antennas intact for I think under $100.

The only people who are insane are the abject FOOLS who would
pay such a price range for that China-made junk. Oh well, some sucker
reading the WSJ, Smithsonian or some other "high end" magazine may
be snookered into paying such a ridiculous price but we here in r.r.s.
know better !!

If a Norelco radio like that showed up in the Goodwill thrift store
seven tenths of a mile South of my doggys (www.cattledog.com and
Blueberry doggy,she is spoiled rotten too,I bought her when she was
eight weeks old and immediatley she took over my couch) couch,I could
buy it for about four or five dollars.
