Hmm, I bought a '2010 new in 1988 for $325 at Ham Radio Outlet, Atlanta (Larry Galecki made the sale). Good radio, although it's no longer in proper working order now. I did get my money's worth out of it, though. Of course, the dollar was worth more when I bought that radio. In 2006 dollars, we'd be talkin' about $530.75 for that purchase in 1988. $325 seems high for a new 2010 in 1988. Are you sure it wasn't $225? They were originally priced at around $230 when they came out in 1984. I bought a new one from 'Grove' for about $275 in 1991. I had seen them on the gray market at that time for about $225 but I didn't want to take a chance on the warranty. After Sony succeeded in eliminating the gray market for the 2010 they raised the price to well over $300. They must have been making a good profit in the latter years of the 2010 since their design and tooling costs had long since been recovered. |
