For what it's worth, and no personal attack intended because it is a common
comment... Just what does "no eBay prices ... " mean?

You want it cheap?  You don't want to spend what it's worth?

This is highest on my list of assinine comments that continuosly appear in
'wanted' listings.  "I want one, but I don't want to spend market rates'.
"I want the seller to give it to me at a 'good' price", whatever that means?
Typical ham-speak for 50% below market, freebie, cheap, ....  Or "I want you
to sell to me at a 'good' price so I can flip it for a profit"

What a crock!! ..  You can be guaranteed that if I had one, it wouldn't be
offered for sale.

I buy stuff, I pay what it's worth.  I expect a buyer to do the same if I
have something nice I want to part with.  

Obviously, YMMV.  But this kind of BS is just that ...
