[ARC5] Attitudes toward the value of old military radios

Yes - it is easy to find out what the best offer was. Just go to the
original listing, and, click on "print" on the right hand side above the
listing. Then the actual sale price will show up. 73 - Mike

"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.
