[R-390] Fuses and Parts

[Bob Camp]

Hi,

Well the prices that get paid for some stuff are pretty amazing. That said I
can't see any big problem with selling a gizmo as parts compared to selling
it as a whole unit. The objective is functioning radios. If a set gets
parted out and the pieces bring good prices the people who bought the parts
probably needed them pretty bad. Generally that would tell me they are going
into a radio that is almost but not quite working. The net result of parting
one radio *hopefully* would be five working radios. I'd say that compares
very well with the practice of buying two to get one working.

Just a thought ...
