You're joking of course.  All those interested in selling the gear they 
spent $500 plus for (plus $70 shipping) for $200, please sign on the 
dotted line.............  

All of you who paid $50 at a hamfest 20 years ago (when a buck was worth 
more) plus the parts and time you put into them and would be more than 
happy with $200, please let me know.

All those who paid $200 way back and want to break even, ditto.....   
All of those who paid $1500 plus for a Rick Mish .... nevermind.

No takers?  Heh heh....
