    Another Wacky eBay Item

    This gentleman is selling a used power cord for an Icom IC-251A 2m all-mode rig—a steal at only $19.99 plus $8 shipping!



    I wonder if there is anyone so stupid as to not realize that this is a standard IEC 60320 power cord available at any office supply store for less than ten bucks?

    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.

    Hmmmmm I'm staring at the box of those cords I have with a whole new respect! hahahaha

    I'm sure someone will buy it though. After all they do say, a fool and his money will soon part.... ;)

    Hey, I've got a box of 'em at work. Want one? Cost you a buck. Plus shipping. That should be about, oh, $19.95. Unless you'd like it overnight, then it would be $34.95.

    I've got so many of them that they spill out of the box and I trip over the goddamned things every time I go out into the garage. I think they breed in the dark.

    I have a dozen or more. Old ones, new ones, right angle ones... They are all over the place, and I am always chucking them out of the way. Until I need one that is.

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