That's are pretty good indicator of the health of our hobby. Lots of demand for too few goods.

Geee & it has 5 days left.

7T2 · 05-19-2011, 11:30 PM

Guess those $600 "exact replica" digital tuning radios that you can plug an iPod into don't seem so pricy now...

I still don't understand why people bid with five days left.

I feel you guys on the price. Very expensive. E-bay can be a monster. I know it's a van radio, but on the other hand, how many of you out there have seen a 72' NOS AM/FM radio with all that equipment. It must be really rare. Even in today economy, there are still quite a few folks (not me) with a lot of dough. And they won't think twice about getting what they want for there collection.

sameyrasmea72 · 05-21-2011, 12:49 AM

That price is not to far out of line for one that should be plug and go. I have bought several radios for $200-$300, then spend another 2-$300 going through them and getting them ready to go.

If you could track down the item # there was a 72 truck nos radio in the box like that sold on ebay for over $1500 a few years ago.I almost feel out when I saw it.

**special-K** · 05-21-2011, 08:46 AM

The only problem I see is that it is listed as a truck radio and no mention of "van". A N.O.S. van radio is valuable,too. But,I figure those bidding don't know better and believe they are bidding on a true truck radio. Has anyone sent a question to the seller to point out what it really is?

Did you read the ad at all

. He spent most of it telling that it was a van radio that he made look like a truck radio.

Yes,I read the ad at all,just not entirely

. He didn't mention it in the heading,but I'm sure anyone willing to pay the price has read it through. If not,shame on them. I stand corrected. I'm just used to seeing misleading listings on Ebay and usually those are the ones that get this type of thread.
