[ARC5] Pricing an SCR-274-N (sigh...)

[Ronnie Hull]

A wise old friend of mine who is also a co-worker told me once when I complained my stuff wasn't getting bids, price it higher than you think it's worth!
I did it and guess what? The fed on it like sharks feeding on chum fish,, I couldn't believe it!

On another note, I just completed putting together a complete scr274n and got it on the air! I kept careful notes, and even with a few items given to me, I still have 1190 bucks in it! If I was to sell today it wouldn't even start at $1500! This stuff is so hard to find now and prices trending higher and higher, I could never hope to do it again!
73's and God bless ya all
