Maybe some one can snipe it just as it reaches $1200.

This person is just plain nuts. I might give him $80 for it...

Starting bid $800.00? Well, for that price the dirt and rust better come with that "well looked after" bug.

I'm nominating this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/COMPLETE-HAM-RAD...item1c0dc542b5

Just for this line in the listing:
Quote:
I will sale to licensed amatuer operator general class or higher.
I don't recall that part in ebay's TOS.

I have never seen that model key before. Looks like it has some kind of high speed factory installed key click filter. Easily worth a grand to someone, I don't know who but someone...
