[Milsurplus] "Fair" Radio ain't anymore.....

[James M. Walker]

Nope,
They are simply following the P.T. Barnum principle of marketing.
Doesn't matter what it is worth, mark it up to what you want for it.
Someone will buy it, usually the un-initiated. There was a time you
could actually have a conversation with the people selling this type
of equipment, those days are fading fast.

Nebraska Surplus, takes advantage of the people that are silly enough to
go to them. They don't know much if anything about what their selling
just the price. They have manuals and such for sale for items, but
apparently they don't read them, so they sell items to unsuspecting
folks, that need other major components to do what the thing is
supposed to do.

Tried to get a manual, once they wanted more than the item featured in
the manual. Tried to get parts for a unit once, they wanted one price for
the board, and still another for the components to fill the board, as in
(some assembly required)!

Weird bunch of folks out there, but then you never know what you
can get away with, until you try, is the MOTTO, of folks like that.
