[AMRadio] Halli SX-101A for $750?

[Rob Atkinson]

I have avoided selling on eBay.  It seems like too much of a hassle
and I just want to set a price, hear from a buyer, get payment and
send the item on its way.

I will haggle some but I usually sell things a bit below average so if
I get anyone wanting to be a wheeler dealer I put up with that briefly
before telling them to move on.  I give everything I know about the
item for sale up front--there are no gotchas, no artfully shot camera
photos with the big dent just out of the camera frame...anything like
that.

By the time I decide to sell something I just want to get rid of it
and the cash is nice but I'm not trying to get rich or earn a living
off ham radio.  It's a hobby to me and that's it, so a sale is partly
to help someone out.  Of course there are flippers but I guess I can't
do anything about that except remember them if I find out they are
profiting on my goodwill.  I assume a buyer needs and wants what I
have and plans to use it; and not that he is purchasing a commodity
like a rail car of corn to take to market.

BTW here's another wild auction--I have no idea if this is outrageous
or not as the item may be genuinely valuable and rare.  But there are
two guys in a bidding war over this thing, a 1922 Westinghouse 10 watt
phone rig:
