[Heathkit] Still operational sb101's or hw 101

I'll take chance here.  ebay's got 3 hw-101's and 1 sb-101 up for auction.
There's usually several being sold every week.  Prices are not as high as
people put them up to be, although there is an occasional bidding war
which is interesting to observe.
As far as the ebay stigma goes, with a little careful bidding, and
checking I've only gotten burned once as a seller.  Over the years I've
had more bad deals from dirtbag amateurs at flea markets and hamfests.
The latest one was an SB-401 with hidden problems.  Guaranteed to work
turned out to a bummer and although I had the ham's address and phone
number he refused to owe up to selling me a damaged xmitter.

As usual, let the buyer beware.
Regards, Helm.  WB2ADT
