[R-390] Question about finding our treasures on eBay...

[John Saxon]

I have gotten some nice pieces off eBay when they showed up on one of those "you might like to buy this" pages.  These were not pieces that I found, rather they found me.

I would like some suggestions for keywords you folks have found useful for eBay searches.  I have used "ARC5", "vintage ham radio", etc.

For example, the GF-11 set that sold last night for $2,125 - I didn't find it on a search (I also didn't buy it), another ham gave the group a "heads up".  I would not have known about it unless I used some other keywords on my regular eBay searches.

So I am asking those eBay gurus on these lists if they would be so kind as to pass along some search tips for the rest of us.

Thanks,
John
