[ARC5] The FT-230A is still for sale

[J Mcvey]

For a mere $175 on Ebay!  Come and get it ! LOL
I found a guy on craigs list with a bunch nice looking military/boat anchors, including a Collins R-390aHe wants $1200 for it. I have noticed that the R-390 prices have been dropping precipitously over the past few years.I don't think he got the memo.His price is the the price too, like the guy on Ebay.
A friend of mine found a Stuts bearcat frame and drive train rotting in a guys back yard many years ago.
It was almost to the point of being unrestoreable back then. The guy had his PRICE of $30,000My friend tried to explain that even though it's a Stutz, most of it is gone and whats left is almost gone too.offered him a crazy 20K for it.His response. " my price never goes down, it just goes up. Now it's 35K.We left.5 years later he died and the stuff was carted away in a scrap dumpster.crazy!I have always been a 'everything is negotiable" kind of guy, so I don't understand this mentality.The whims of the market drive price, not instant riches fantasies.
I rarely sell anything for the asking price unless I get lucky once in a while...However, if i decide to sell, I can only sell for what someone is willing to pay!
