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

[wb3fau at att.net]

Some years  back, i  quit using Ebay, after  a few  bad  deals.  Too much  money,  items  never  as good as they  say,  and sellers reselling  after  you buy it.  There  are other sources,  you just   have to hunt for  what you  want.  i will go  with hamfests,  but i stay away  from  big events.
With this  messed up economy,  there  are good  deals to  be found. 73 Russ.
