Grant,
Man do I agree with you, One of the list members wanted a Pristine
SX-100, I sent some pictures, he said fine, sent asking prices, shipped
it to him. His comments were horrible, dirty, scratches etc.
He sent it back and I refunded his money. They expect a 40 to 50 year
old piece to be mint like never used or touched.
The saying "not e*bay priced is a joke". The buyers set the price by
bidding on the unit. I feel it is a fair pricing medium if you compare
the items condition, pictures, description and above all the World wide
exposure that that medium provides for both the seller and buyer.
The swap meets in So. CA have gone to hell in a basket for radios as
they have become computer junk and ink sales. The radio bargains have
been/are snapped up and show up on the auction sites do to the exposure.
That kind of sets the FAIR MARKET VALUE for a great percentage of items
that show up there.
I have a great SX-101 Mk III A but I will not be insulted by my guess of
the comment because it is a very nice unit and I want high market price
for it or I will keep it.
SUPPLY and DEMAND still works in this world.
