[Boatanchors] Vintage Radios--LOTS

[Joe Connor via Boatanchors]

Aren't a lot of those radios listed for long periods of time or re-listed numerous times? I'm thinking of the overpriced ones, the heavily modified ones and the ones that are just plain junk. I see some of the same sets on there seemingly forever.

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?
