    Later, when I have robbed one from something else, they will all reappear and laugh at me. Bastards.
    Truth.

    On the other hand, we have:

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/SOLDERING-IR...item3ccfeaef75

    Can anyone guess

    A) The manufacturer?

    B) The MSRP?

    I "won" two of those cords and was the only bidder either time. Some people are asleep at the wheel, it seems.

    Looks like an ancient war relic. Yall dont charge via static electricity? Just rub your rig on your head for an hour or so.

    I have an IC-251A. Perhaps my rig will work better with the official cord?

    Yes, it will. Icom uses special low-oxygen copper wire in their power cords which significantly increases the Q of the cord.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    The correct technical term, according to the Icom technical manual, is the fuck Q.

    That Icom power cord would have easily been worth $100, if the seller had kept the original little white box that it came in.

    ICOM IC-R9000 RECEIVER

    From eBay Seller: IT REALLY IS LIKE "ALMOST NEW." NO SCRATCHES OR DAMAGE ON THE FACE. EXCEPT FOR COSMETIC SCRATCHES ON THE OUTER CASE AND A MISSING ACCESS PANEL ON TOP, THE UNIT IS IN GREAT SHAPE.
    "Almost New" seems to have been redefined with this 20 year-old receiver :)

    Two bids, current bid price $710.

    Asking price $2000. He must need that amount to pay for his crack habit because he has to be on crack to think he is going to get $2000 for that piece of junk.

    Not to support his Cracked habit but BECAUSE of his Cracked habit. Things got worse since March 2007, now he gets his Cracked free on the intertubes and by know he's completely insane.
