I attended FROSTFEST today, one of the larger (if not the largest)
hamfest on the east coast. I sold radios, test equipment and piece parts.
Two of the items I had for sale were two CY979A R390/R390A cabinets. I
had them listed for $500 and $400 each, to give me some room to make a
deal. A gentleman came up to me at the end of the show and exclaimed he
had been looking for these for years, and that he wanted both of them.
I told him great, he said he would take both. He reaches into his
pocket and hands me a $10 bill, only then do I realize he thinks I am
selling them for $4.00 and $5.00. I tell him $400 and $500 and the look
on his face would have been great for one of those PRICELESS Mastercard
commercials. He told me I was nuts, and I thanked him and away he walked.
73, Jeff
