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
