[Hallicrafters] SX-100 for $1,025? April Fools Day Lives?

[bmarx at bellsouth.net]

Given the value of about $300 to $400 for the basic radio and then the restoration that was done. Probably about $300 to $500 worth,
add in the shipping three times and that puts the totals about this much. Add it up!

I wouldn't pay it for this radio myself but then again... My 75A-4  was about $1100 and then $800 worth of restoration by the best
in the business. After you figure in shipping you have about a $2000 radio.

If it is a good radio, whether it be a 75A-4 or SX-100 prices do not go down. They gradually move up. Always buy a great radio and
you will get your money back.

We have been talking about radio prices since the lists began (10 tears?) and the world moves on whether we are ready or not. If you
want something and you want it bad enough you make buying decisions that may not always be popular with others.  The fun is after
you buy it.
