[Boatanchors] Craig's List

[Ed - K9EW]

Hi David,

If you're trying to find a good home for a radio, why not use QRZ, or eHam,
or one of these lists.  My impression is these sources are more interested
in seeing the item being used, rather than making an absurd profit.  I used
to use eBay a lot, but now I go to The Lists.
