[Hallicrafters] Outrageously priced SX-16

[DAN COTSIRILOS]

EXACTLY!!!  I don't care what state you live in the odds are you will never
find what you are looking for there. Ebay brings the whole country (world)
to your home town. Ebay makes even the rarest items seem common because of
this. Every time that I have gotten a whim for something I can almost always
go to Ebay and find it for sale. Of course this process causes the prices to
go up due to the increased competition but you win some and you lose some!
It is that kind of world!  Dan
