[Boatanchors] Vintage Radios--LOTS

[rbethman]

Don, Et Al,

The numbers are even higher when you look at Craig's List postings, and 
private items.

Picked up an HR)-50-T1 simply by accident with a post on one of the 
QTH.NET lists.

We haggled and came to $50 for it with four or five coilsets.

When I got to the local home, he insisted that He'd only take $25.

So the numbers are higher.

BTW, I couldn't get him to go with the original $50, so $25 it was.

> Have you ever just searched eBay on the general category VINTAGE RADIO RECEIVER? Right now you get around 250 listings. Where are all these radios going? Supposing 150 is the average over the course of a year, times 52 weeks is 7800 vintage radios a year! And that is probably very conservative, since some listers will use ANTIQUE, some will use HAM, some won't, etc. But add up all the variations and a conservative assumption is that over 10,000 vintage radio receivers are being listed in a year. Am I the only one who is impressed by that number?
