Got one of These Lying Around?

Old antenna fixation, very strange.

If it were mine, I'd be getting into this guys pockets big time and then buy a newer and much better performing antenna.

It's not a question of "top dollar" or for that matter any dollar. I told him from the first email that mine wasn't for sale, period.

I understand. I would think that Mr. Demanding would have at least however, offered you an outrageous amount of money. That's all I'm saying.
No Sale means No Sale! Bad touch! Bad Touch!

Well, in part it's nostalgia. When I worked at the ham store, I sold a lot of these, and the one I had at my old QTH performed well for years. I know nothing lasts forever... but I liked this antenna.

Besides, considering that I haven't opened the box ever, and I've had it for years, who knows what condition the aluminum is in? I sell it, turns out something isn't right, I'd never hear the end of it.

The antenna has stayed in the box because right now I have limited antenna room, and I need the dual-band antenna up right now.

Well, enough is enough. I'm sorry he found out I had it, and I'm sorry I even opened this thread. The matter is closed, the antenna stays right where it is, and that is that.

I think he did offer me a price at one point... a little more than I paid for it, but not much more.

That said, if I inquire further, it implies that I'm opening negotiations. I have no interest then or now in selling it, so why bother?

Perfectly reasonable attitude. I do not blame you not one bit. Guy is a moron. Probably had to end up raping his wife to convince her to marry him. Strange world we live in.

That last post was a joke folks.

Hello.

Why does her not simply hire somebody for a "finders fee" to get it for him?
I can just see it now, cheap ham goes up to the kind of person who does this type of thing and offers them a few bucks, and gets robbed for dissing the guy.
Now that would be fun to watch.

Are you suggesting that that yutz hire a professional thief to steal the antenna from me?

Not funny, not in the slightest.
