[Boatanchors] Vintage Radios--LOTS

[Bob Young]

There are probably millions listed per year under various headings. I 
just put in Vintage Radio and got 48,216 hits. Tube Radio got 30,255 
hits.

But when I put that phrase into eBay just 10 seconds ago, searching ALL LISTINGS in ALL CATEGORIES, BEST MATCH, I get more than 21 pages each showing 50 listings. Here's a listing about to expire on page 18: 1950's Vintage Collins Radio 18S-4A Vacuum Tube Aircraft HF Transmitter Receiver

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?
