[MRCA] WW2 Radio Prices

[Stephen Finelli]

Hi Mark,I would like to know where you saw these asking prices listed back in 2012 because for what those sets are I believe they are way overinflated. Even if they include most or all accessories.I have or had many of these sets and this past year at the 2019 MVPA Convention I was able to sell a complete SCR-284 (BC-654) with every accessory including the vehicle mount FM-41 and a SCR-506 (BC-652/653) with all accessories with chest CH-74 NOS with canvas cover and rack for $2000.00 Each, ready to install in vehicle.I felt fortunate to get those prices.These were both in excellent condition.I also had a SCR-508 set (BC-603/604) complete with CH-74 NOS with canvas cover and accessories for the same $2k that didn't sell.I do think it's worth every cent of that but to ask $3.5k is just too much. Maybe on some of those overpriced dealers online are asking it but for the average person to realize those prices is highly unlikely.Not trying to be a downer, just realistic in my view.I have many sets to sell. Just don't have the time it takes to assemble and advertise or go to shows.My back hurts thinking about it.Regards,Steve N3NNGSent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

I have just been looking into what complete, working BC-1306, BC-654 and BC-659 radio sets were going for in the past.  On the G504 site, in 2012, these sets, complete and working, were selling for $3500, $3500 and $2500.  Seems my asking prices reflect zero inflation in 8 years.
