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.

Don't blame me. I voted for Gore.

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 !!!!!

That, by definition, makes it *exactly* worth that much to the person
who paid that much!

Just because *you* wouldn't pay that much does not make it *not* worth
that much, either! Why do you believe that *you* have some special
power to set prices that everyone must pay?

OTOH, he may never use it, and put it on the shelf with the rest of
his collection.

Indeed. Collectors have different motives than users when buying an
item. Collectors want items for reasons that a user can't fathom.
