PS I saw over 730+ pages for Play station 3's, over 37,000 units and 
more, all going for over $800 TO OVER $1000.!!!Too bad we can't turn 
the younger generation on to green and grey and black boatanchors!

Subject: [Milsurplus] About that $400 T-17, here's the story

Last week or sometime someone posted info about an auction for a $400 
T-17 mic. I had contacted the seller and asked about it. Here is the 
email reply I received, it's probably on the listing page as well.

As Paul Harvey would say, here's *the rest of the story*

"Thought you might be interested in how the T-17 saga ended. The young 
man who bid made a mistake. He had put in a bid of $1900 when he meant 
to put in $19.00, so the bid kept going higher due to bidding fever. 
When everything cooled down, the second bidder [had in a proxy bid of 
$400 and] no longer wanted it. I relisted for $30 and had no bids. I 
still have my T-17. So don't go putting all your T-17's in a bank 
vault. (Grin)"

So, I guess that'll learn 'em to remember how to write down their 
'nummers' and not put in a proxy bid for something that's ten times 
more than they's really willing to pay for it.
