[HBR] HBR 11 eBay find

[William Wood]

Greetings Earthlings

Hopefully one of you did not bid on this : )  I would not have advertised 
it if I knew you did.  If you did, sorry about that, but figured someone on 
this list might like the opportunity to grab a VERY nice HBR 11…   

The last one I bid on from the HBR series, I bid 400, and was still out bid.  : )  
This one even tho it is an EXCEPTIONAL example of what is and can be 
out there, I did not bid on, as I now have 90% of my parts accumulated.  
I think I could buy this one and sell my parts and be ahead, except I would 
not part this baby out to get what I wanted for my build.  
IT WOULD BE A CRIME  : )  

Wish they did not have such a cult like following,  You can buy a 706 used 
for 5-600 : )  If these sold for 1-200 I’d have a couple, but not for some of 
the prices these babies get…

IF you bid on this, hopefully the ending price is not too far out of line with 
your budget.  Almost bid on it just because of it’s exceptional clean-ness, 
and the remarkable craftsmanship that went into it, great job to whoever 
built it, almost like a factory job for sure.

Depending on how far into this HBR cult thing you are, if I had not had my 
heart set on building my own, I would go the $400 on this one too, think of 
all this crystals, little variable caps and that dial, i paid $89 for my Eddystone 
all buy itself…   So when you start adding up all those little prices here and 
there, those prices don’t SEEM as unreasonable as they do at first.

OK, I better run, before I talk myself into deleting this message and bidding 
myself : )
