        One of the problems is that today, we have what appears to be a lot
of unknowlegable people, what have an awful lot of money, and nothing
to spend it on!  I would MUCH rather sell something to someone at the
"reasonable" going price than at some extremely jacked up price to
some "yuppie" who doesn't know what a soldering iron is for, and wants
the "radio antique" as a conversation piece to bolster his or her ego!
        Evidently, there *is* a lot of such types that buy via e-bay!  I have
bought stuff via e-bay at what I considered reasonable prices, but I have
seen "scam" items as well.
