[ARC5] Attitudes toward the value of old military radios

[Michael A. Bittner]

"But thanks to eBay, now everyone KNOWS what someone will pay for it. That part used to be private information between the buyer and the seller. Now it is public knowledge."

Except when a Best Offer is accepted by the seller on a BIN item.  Or is there a way to get this information that I don't know about?

  No more--or at least rarely. eBay has made "value" a publicly-known bit of knowledge for everything. 
  It used to be the rule was that a thing was worth what someone will pay for it. It's still true. But thanks to eBay, now everyone KNOWS what someone will pay for it. That part used to be private information between the buyer and the seller. Now it is public knowledge. 

  Yes, those days are gone.
