[Elecraft] Interesting aftermarket observation - a plus for Elecraft

[tlogan7@cox.net]

Hi folks - 
 I think we need to add one more positive attribute to the K2 - K2/100. I have sold a completed K2 as well as a completed K2/100. They both sold in within about 2 days or so with lots of inquiries and for what I thought was a reasonable price. (I guess I just love building them because my third complete K2 station is on its way to me from Elecraft!). The people that bought them were absolutely thrilled.
  Now comes along my Pro II - which I guarantee you folks gives the K2 a run for its money....but it IS a different type of operating experience. I sold a Pro to upgrade to a bargain on a Pro II. Now I am selling the Pro II. Both radios proved very slow to sell with a limited number of inquiries. Infact when the Pro II comes off Ebay tonite I will withdraw it from the market and holding on to it due to no nibbles.
  But here is the point. It looks like people have very little reservation about buying a pre-built K2 as compared to the Pro rigs. I find that amazing - because I would expect most buyers to be concerned about a "home built" rig. To the contrary - Elecraft seems to have created a kit radio that has a tremendous after market. That my friends is saying something! Of course maybe that's just my experience.....but 2 for 2 so far the Elecrafts come out way better in the aftermarket than the Pro's!
