[Milsurplus] Fwd: Seen at Fair Radio this AM

[Joe Connor]

 Walk-in business is one thing, but it would cost an arm and a leg to have any of those boatanchors shipped to you from Fair Radio. Were shipping costs disproportionately less back in the day? I figure they had to be because there were so many surplus dealers with busy mail-order businesses back then.
By the way, it was interesting to read that "boatanchor" was originally an insult. Geez, I consider it a badge of honor.

Yes it was cheap but how much was our salary back then?

It also depend on your situation. Sellers feel the price is right; buyers complain the price is too high and know where to get a better deal.
