[R-390] Ebay Prices

[jcoward5452 at aol.com]

Do eBay Collins prices follow the price of oil and gasoline?I don't 
mean to disparage the poster's remarks, but it seems that some radios 
do follow the overall market trends.I guess we are all guilty of trying 
to get ahead and at the same time we still wonder what happened to the 
local flea markets.I havn't been to the local swap in the San Jose CA 
area in years because there was hardly any radio junque there and only 
computer junk.If you put eBay prices on stuff at a swap you just won't 
sell anything.I've found that out at the annual military swap I go to 
and the old anitque commercial radio swap (i.e. AM/FM/Phono tube 
stuff).The folks that show up already have what you want to sell.
  As a frequent eBay user and buyer I am grateful for the venue. I have 
been able to find and obtain collectable pieces and unobtainium 
parts,sometimes for a song,other times for a dip into the not so deep 
pockets.But I don't think that eBay priceing can translate to the flea 
market environment.
  Good luck DW.I can't afford the trip to Dayton but I hope when I 
retire I can make the show and see what it's all about.

Subject: [R-390] Ebay Prices

Hello, 
 
For anyone going to Dayton I have complied a list of Collins items that 
have sold on Ebay. This list will hopefully give an idea about the 
worth of Collins gear as least as Ebay prices. 
 
I will be keeping this up to date every month or so, I will update the 
web page. I plan on breaking it down into days of the week, months etc. 
This should give a better idea is items sell more on Sunday or maybe 
December.

Any comments or suggestions would be welcome. Hope this will be helpful 
and pay back a little of the wealth of knowledge that I have gotten 
 from this fine Reflector as well as the Collins Radio Association 
(CRA). 
 
Best, 
DW Holtman
