[Boatanchors] Wow! Skeptics, Cynics and all other sorts

[Tom NØJMY - AAR7FV]

Yeah, dittos.  Yes, I did picked up a radio (didn't know it was worth very
much) for $12.50 from a jerk in an antique shop once.  Found out what it was
and sold it for $1800.  And I felt so guilty I thought about going back and
giving the jerk another $12.50.  In fact I still think about it
...heh...heh...hehhhhhhh!

On the other hand, I ran into a real nice fellow in S. Sioux City today who
was about to unload an unbuilt HW32A for a pittance.  I felt compelled to
tell him that I've only seen one unbuilt Single Bander (a HW-12) show up on
eBay and it went for just under $1100.  And I DID tell him, after I made him
sit down.  Needless to say he was very grateful.  You see, what goes around
DOES come around, or as we say in Ioway:  They all come home to roost.

73,
Peaceful coexistent Tom,
the racketeer.
