Still too high, I paid less than that for a nearly mint Kenwood TS-
850sat recently.

First, it's none of your business what the seller asks -- if you don't like it,
don't bid on it.

Secondly, "too high" depends on whether or not it sells at that price, not your
(or my) opinion.

Thirdly, the price of one Kenwood has very little to do with the value of a
different model.

LOL, you need to relax, and calm down. I'm assuming you're the seller
maybe? If not sit down and chill a little.

Please get a life. If you aren't the seller, why are you so upset?

Since the TS850S is a much better receiver than a R5000 (if you dispute
that, well, it's your opinion alone, for the most part), AND has a 100
watt transmitter in the same box, it should be worth more.

I've owned 2 R5000's. Nice audio, but $700 is just not a realistic price
for a 20 year old, or close to it, receiver that runs very hot on AC
power.

I have no idea who the seller is. I'm just sick of all the price cops who go
hand-in-hand with all the USEnet cops. What someone asks for an item is nobody's
business but his own. If it's too high, it won't sell. Period.

Possibly not to someone who wants only a receiver.

That might be true -- but so what? Is it your mission to save the suckers of the
world?

If so, why not start right here in Washington DC? I can introduce you to
thousands of them...

Aww, isn't that too bad. I guess I should be slapped for commenting..

Well, that might be true, but it seems a pretty weak argument.

What is wrong with you? I just made a comment on the price. Sheesh, I
think someone needs a nap.

I'm sure you can.

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.
