That are the prices here in euro, transceivers are a bit more pricey here for the import and longer transport ways and VAT.
There is a large Google group for the FT 100 too.
Mine is now in my posession for the last 7 years and works daily flawlessly.
Mostly used as FM radio for the news and 2/70.
Maybe it's just me, but I don't buy something on eBay that has only a Buy It Now price.Quote:

Maybe. I have had some good luck on eBay doing that with a quiet message. Another eBay trick, don't bid till it is almost over, and especially if the auction ends in the early AM hours for US time zones. Set an alarm clock and see what's happening. I have had my best purchases happen that way.
I snipe every time, all the time.Quote:

Considering the chunk that Paypal and final value fees eat away, cash may be king.Quote:

He didn't know my eBay screen name. I out bid him, at the last few seconds, because I kept my mouth shut. :lol:
He was mildly upset... "Some other guy in Colorado". Sorry Tom, that was me. I've been watching it for a while. Never play poker with me. Bwaaaa!
It's overpriced, period. I'd pay a max of $450 cash.Quote:

I snipe some things using a snipe program. But its mostly sub $100 camera's.
I'm typically don't spend more than $100 on eBay on any given item. If its usually more than that, I prefer to either buy local so I can put my hands on it, and/or just order a new one from an online retailer like Amazon.
Luckily in 63 transactions, I've never had a bad experience.
