[Milsurplus] Question regarding J-38 keys

[Reuben Popp]

Hello all.. been pretty quiet lately, so figured I would throw something
out there for discussion.

As someone who finally bit the bullet and took (and passed) his Tech and
General back on Feb 1st, I've made it a goal to not only get my Extra but
also learn CW.  To that end, I've been doing some research on methods and
such, one of which is via group practice and whatnot via the Long Island CW
club.  I was watching one of their videos last night and there was a
suggestion on a J38 as a good first key to learn on for proper timing, etc.

So, off I ran and holy cow.  I mean, I know that (generally) keys are not
cheap but some of the pricing I saw last night rivaled that of a new
Bencher or close to it.  Now, I know that's the ePay place so there's that,
and I suspect of course there's a dwindling supply, but are they _that_
collectible, or just that well built?

Like most of the stuff I drool over it would seem that I'm a day late and a
generation short of finding those deals for $40 or less, lol.
