[Hallicrafters] My two cents worth

[Keith Poindexter]

You know guys....You see it all up front.. If you don't like the
price or shipping charges, simply don't bid. An item is worth
what another person is willing to pay for it. If it is too high, it
will not sell.  Just because you have seen the item at a hamfest
for half the price means nothing. If you can't afford it, then maybe
you need to look elsewhere.
73 to all
Keith
