Yeah, but if you buy into that mindset, then anyone who sells there must be
greedy by association. (o:

Actually, there is likely a simple explanation. IIRC, this is the supply
that can be used in lieu of the 516F-2 to power the Collins KWM-2 or
S-Line. Those supplies are harder to come by and bring considerably more
money. So, $255 could be a bargain if your M-2 needs the juice and you
can't find or don't want to pay much more for the matching supply.

Remember too, it's eBay. Convenient online shopping for items many of us
can find at hamfests for a fraction of the cost tends to come at a premium.
But if the nearest hamfest is a day or two's drive or you need it
yesterday.....
