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 : )
