You are!  Though the cityot influx has tempered it somewhat. (o:

He's smart to avoid the ebay approach if it's not something he uses
regularly, particularly with their recent changes to charge the
sellers a percentage of the shipping costs. eBay was never 'easy' even
before they added the multiple layers of money-grabbing BS, but rather
labor and time-intensive. Most folks (who aren't into radio or
whatever hobby is involved) would just as soon park the stuff at the
curb and be done with it. So getting them to dispose of it in any way
other than that is a plus. Looks like he's also figured out that many
of those touted high prices aren't actually selling prices, but
repeated re-lists.

Those of us who are packrats think nothing of spending hours of our
time on sorting, cleaning, and testing piles of old equipment for
resale. The other 99.9% of the world sees it all as a pile of old
toasters or microwave ovens not worth spending their dwindling time
on.

Seems there are a number of folks on here or other sites from the
Tucson area who would be willing to jump on the stuff. Hopefully he'll
get enough interested parties to have an open house some weekend and
send it all to new homes. If not, it won't be the first pile that went
to the scrap heap. Just one that we know about.
