Larry,

That is correct the $700 is the Buy-It-Now Price.

Figure a 70% to 85% Reserve Price based on the
$700 Buy-It-Now Price : The Reserve would be in
the range of $490 to $595.

Seems to be Two (2) "Interested" Bidders so far.

imho - at this price-point there are several other
swl receivers that are worth considering ~ RHF
.
.
. .



The absolute most I personally would go would be about $500. No way even
$600. My luck would be it would work ok, except the keypad would start
the keybounce thing.

There are R71A's, NRD525's, etc out there for a lot less. I would take a
525 over a 5000, anytime. For $700, you're close to NRD535 territory.

Original Boxes and Manuals are still holding their
Value :o) ~ RHF

It's like some of the gun auctions, some guns get prices way too high
for a while, then they drop down to a decent amount, and then rise
again. I lucked out and got 3 of the last ones I bought on the "low
side". One of them, in the same condition mine is just sold for over
$125 higher. Makes me happy to see that, unless I'm bidding.

If anyone has one of those inrad (or original kenwood) AM filters for
sale for the r5000 I'm still looking for one...



One of my R5000s didn't have the replacement filter when I got it, I
hoped it wouldn't be as bad as I heard it was without it, but I was
wrong, it was horrible. I got the Kenwood one, YK88 (I think) for $75 at
a local hamfest from some old guy. The box looked horrible, and he was
kind of one of those guys who always has a ton of HF rigs for high
prices, but I went for it anyway, and it worked perfectly. I made money
on it when I sold it about a year later.

Maybe Ebay might have one for a sane price..
