Because some people are fools is the only explanation. They have more money 
than brains. Just like the "unopened" Apache recently. It went for a rediculous 
price and would have probably gone for twice that amount had the seller not 
opened the factory sealed boxes  to "make sure everything was there." Who is 
the bigger fool there? Answer: Buyer and seller. 

I went to a small hamfest this morning. The bargain of the day was a 
literally perfect HQ-170 with clock and speaker for $165.  There was a Plain Jane 
HQ-180 for $275. You figure it out! Only if you do, don't tell me. I don't want to 
get sick!
