[Elecraft] Suggested prices?

[K9MA]

About 15 years ago I was standing on a roof with my now SK friend 
helping take down an antenna for an elderly ham, now surely a SK, and I 
said to him, "Don, there won't be any young hams around when our time 
comes!"

I just hope there's someone left to help MY widow!

Buyers picked up the antennas and power amps. I bought all of the hard line. Ditto for a few years ago when a neighbor ham moved out of his house and moved onto a sailboat! In fact, with the widow, I categorized his huge junkbox, coax, hardline, and antennas. I coordinated more than dozen or so of his friends to take down his antennas and his towers. At least three guys did the climbing, with lots of help on the ground. And when we had sold as much as we could, several of us helped her drag what was left to several ham swap meets.
