I thought so too, and several were unsold even at prices < $300.   
That's odd, and a real bargain for potential buyers.

Don't understand why, there were many at the usual Ebay-plus prices, but 
also many nice boatanchors at decent prices but no buyers.  I couldn't 
believe I had to haul my buddys Ranger back home after dropping it to 
$225, including a Dow Key relay, but that's pretty rock bottom IMHO 
(page 4).    Would make a nice mate for an R-388 ;-)

Great pics as always Nick.  I don't know how I manage to wear out as 
much shoe leather as I do and still see things in your pics I don't 
remember seeing at the fest.  Maybe your camera's memory is just better ;-)
