Those look like plain ol' CB walkie-talkies with AM radios to me, and worth nowhere near the opening bid, IMO. However, if they were made of solid gold (and I mean gold everything, down to the PC boards and transistors), perhaps they
might command such an outrageous bid, but not as they are shown in that listing. Personally, I wouldn't pay more than $5-$10 for both of them in any condition.
BTW: Reece, I like your comments regarding carbon tet fumes. That joker must have been sniffing lots of the stuff just before he came up with his ridiculous starting bid; that, or else he is just nuts.
