Roger Fredinburg www.regularguy.com in Medford,Oregon owns a Sony
2010 radio,he once emailed me about his radios and he owns a Satellit
radio too.He said his Sony 2010 is a great radio.I have read reviews
about the Sony 2010's a few years ago and they all were very good
reviews too.I think they look much better than the Sony 7600 GR radios.I
wouldn't mind owning a Sony 2010 radio.Maybe some day I will get lucky
and find one at the Goodwill thrift store.

Harry... I think it is a very good guess that Mr. Diamond (or whatever
his real name is) also sent the email. I don't know if he posts
look-at-this messages just to troll for attention, or whether he is
taking out his frustration on you because he can't afford a decent
receiver. There are several possibilities.

That good quality older receivers command more than they originally
sold for is not new news. Look at the prices the older Panasonic
portables (2200, 2600, 2800, 2900) command. A Sony ICF 5900 will
usually sell for 4x it's original price. The 2010 is the receiver that
first got me interested in this hobby. It was a gift from my wife in
1986 when she was studying RF communications in the EE program.
Needless to say that radio got a lot of use.

Ignore the troll and enjoy your radio.

That's a record I believe for a NIB 2010 -- absurd of course, but part
of the ebay game....

I think we might be missing something here. These people are not really
bidding on the radio at such high prices. They are looking to buy happiness.
How much should a dose of happiness cost? You can't just find happiness
anywhere.
So, in reality they are bidding on what they hope turns out to be a happy
pleasurable experience. I guess it depends on how much you're willing to
spend to make yourself happy.

I should have bought the one I saw for $125 at the Tulsa hamfest. Wasn't
new, but had the box with everything...

Yep,I suppose the guy got what he wanted (Sony 2010 for about $710.00)
and the seller got what he is happy about.I Say it all worked out all A
OK on both sides.

Leonard Martin said: Almost nothing turns out to be as described and
has one major undisclosed flaw.

The most recent numbers I have seen for Ebay show the number of
auctions in one quarter to be just under 300,000,000. Annualizing that
gives 1,200,000,000. So of 1.2 billion auction listings in a given
year, only a tiny number...say .001% are honest. That's only 12,000
honest auctions in a year.

Why do people continue to bid and leave positive feedback and how in
the world does Ebay stay in business if it is just a den of thieves.

Where did you get your statistics about the rampant dis-honesty on
Ebay.

things on eBay.I know both of those folks are completely honest.She

part of it.junkin judy,How y'all doing?
