Shipping etc.

[Bry Carling]

Somebody was trying to pull the wool over your eyes. 
Fedex has accepted many older radios from me with 
values and insurance well over $100.00

They have even paid up with no questions asked after 
damaging a couple of tube radios in the $200-300 range.

I think you asked too many questions of the wrong person!
