That's why I would much rather trade radio stuff for other radio stuff,
rather than to try to sell for cash. Inevitably, whenever I ask enough $$
to make a sale worth my while, someone thinks I am asking too much and
ripping the other person off. All dollar(ette)s are exactly the same,
steadily lose buying power every day that passes, and will probably be gone
without a trace within weeks, if not days. But if I can trade what I think
is a nice piece in exchange for a different piece that someone else thinks
is nice, and both of us are happy and we each have a unique item that we may
keep for years.
