On the NPR station yesterday, the tech guru was saying that Best Buy was selling the Google Nexus tablet for double what Google listed it at.

I guess a sucker is born every minute. The guy at your link claims to have sold over two hundred at that price.

Well what got me to looking at dummy loads was this thread on da Zed where this feller was troubleshooting his ICOM IC-746 concerning a possible SWR problem, and he hadn't tried it on a dummy load, nor does he even own one.

For the kind of money the seller is asking, you can buy a 20KW CCS Collins load with an EIA connector. Actually, I've seen them a good bit cheaper than that at Dayton.

I should have picked up a few at the last hamfest and gazillioned my money with them on ebay.
Now that I know, I'll be on the look out. Hell, my old Heathkit Cantenna should be worth 4 grand, AT LEAST!
Maybe I'll just list it on CL to trade for a car.

Indeed. It even comes with a free prostate massage upon arrival.

Damn. I am in the wrong business. I need to learn how to be OK with screwing people. And not the kind of screwing you're thinking of.

It's a work of art, all right - the only thing in this listing I don't have is the power distribution module. But I do have 3.5x CP2000s, two BC2000s and a bunch more other "like new!" CPI pieces...for a total investment of a little over half of what this clown is asking:
