[Boatanchors] Amazing prices

[GRANT YOUNGMAN]

Well, good luck to the next guy thinking he’s going to find that KW-1 just sitting on the curb with a “FREE” sign on it.

These stories are grand, and everyone has one or two, but they’re part of the problem.  Not everyone is going to find an SS-1S for $5, and will spend a lifetime looking for one at that price.

Would you put your SX-88 on the curb, so I can come by and pick it up???? Alternatively, I’ll give you TWICE (even FOUR TIMES) what you “paid” for it.  Deal?
