[R-390] How much should it cost???

[Dan Merz]

John,  I think you've discovered a basic principle in this realm - the price is
always what the buyer and seller are able to agree on - whether it's the price
of a radio or the cost of shipping.  I would say most of us would ship this for
under $100 because we don't do it for a living - if I were doing it every day I
might think more about what it would take me to do it day after day, which
would probably be more than $10 plus the cost of UPS/FedEx or whatever.
Anyway,  I hope you enjoy the radio - that can be important also,  Dan
