LUCKY,
.
I have bought Radios on eBay from this Buyer "remdjem"
Panasonic RF-2200, RF-2900 and RF-2600.
.
He likes to listen to Classical Music FM Stations both
in the SF Bay Area and around Northern California.
.
He evidently thinks (knows) the RadioShack Realistic
DX-400 will give him the Tunes and Sound that He Enjoys.

Yeah I guess so. I never heard one so I can't say myself. FM listeners don't
really care about SW and SSB. Actually, I was looking to buy one of these
radios myself if I saw one in very good condition.

I wanted one in my collection since it was supposedly the only triple
conversion port out there. They were going for $40-$60 but many didn't look
to good. I didn't want to pay more then say $50 for one. I did some research
on the radio and the keyboard entry goes bad after a while. There is no
manual knob for tuning so you're stuck with the keyboard.

Even if you know how to fix radios, the keyboard is "welded" down with
plastic tabs to the radio's body. So, it can only be removed and installed a
few times.
The closer you live to the ocean, the faster the keyboard goes bad over
time.
The radio is pretty old so you want one in well kept in good condition.

I think the triple conversion factor is the reason it's sought after so
much. Wonder how much difference it really makes and can you hear it with a
portable???

But for $162, and if he likes FM, I think he could have done better but to
each his own I say!

Here is the telling line that describes why you chose to rant about this to
begin with: "I wanted one in my collection...".

So essentially you were just ****ed because the price went high?

If you are indeed so well off, as you alluded to in an earlier post, then money
should be no object to you... correct?

I do own a Panasonic Model No.RF-2600 radio which I bought brand new at
a Service Merchandise store that used to be on I-55 Frontage Road about
twenty something years ago.I am not saying it is a great radio but it
still works ok.I am not too sure if I want to sell it,but I might,it all
depends on how much money someone makes an off to me for the radio.I
don't remember exactly how much money I paid for the radio,I think it
was somewhere between $160.00 to $180.00.

Wow... that was my first ever digital receiver. I traded it a long time
ago, but I managed to find another one - on ebay - for about 70 bucks
with shipping. I still have that one now, but if I could get THAT much
for it, hell, maybe I'll put mine up!

Why is that any different than someone paying $500.00 for an Icom R71a,
$900.00 for a Sony 6800W Orange dial, or $3,000 and a Panasonic RF9000.
Ebay is about as close as we will come to a perfect market, or one
that reflects the true market value for an item. Someone wanted the
radio more than you did and was willing to use his wallet rather than
his mouth.

You think Ebay is the perfect market? HA
You must be kidding? These knuckle heads have more money then brains.
People have been flocking to sell on Ebay since dummies overpay for used
items that could be bought new cheaper.

I see it all the time.

The perfect market...that's a laugh.

An item's financial worth is exactly what someone is willing to pay
for it. No more, no less. Economics 101.

Maybe, but you will notice when people bid on radios like the R-75, Drake R8
a and b, Harris rigs, you find they go for close to real market prices.
That's because those buyers are smarter and more informed customers. That's
a real market demonstration.

But you'll notice the "less serious" or more frivolous the item is, the
dumber and less informed the buyers are. These are the idiots that make
Ebay a great place to unload.

So, just because some bumpkin is willing to pay 4 times what it's really
worth, that does not make it worth that much. I bet ya after he uses the
radio for 2 weeks, he'll wonder why the hell he paid $162 for it.

totally wrong, if one bidder was on vacation that week, that changes
the VALUE, NO NO NO

it changes the PRICE, not the VALUE

price is NOT value

repeat everyone PRICE IS NOT VALUE

property in california sells for a price, not a value. only an idiot
would say a one room 25 year old apartment in a fair part of town is
worth $350,000 !!!!!
