[Hallicrafters] pricing

[Eugene Rippen]

Well, the way I look at it is that if he showed  a couple hundred sales of
the HP-23s,
then that would mean that he was using very old prices.
If I were doing that list I would certainly use no more than the last 10 to
12
sales; and maybe that is the way he looks at it.
Yes, I have noticed too, that if one advertises an HP-23 on the Collins
reflector
(suggesting that it can be used for may Collins gear), that they sell for
more money.
I will not comment further, so as to avoid insulting any group of buyers.
