Ridiculous. Looks like the winning bidder lives in France. Doesn't seem to
be a deadbeat, but I bet they made a mistake or something and will try to
get out of this one. If they're really serious I've got a 1948 ARRL handbook
I'd sell for that amount and it's quite a bit thicker, so what a deal! I'd
only be making a modest $753 profit on the sale... ;-)

Did anyone catch this auction? I once ran up a 1980 edition to over
$50 (and still lost), but this one takes the cake!
