Let's not have any fights over who gets to buy this one, fellas.
For your consideration: a reasonably priced antique radio.
By the seller's rationale, a Festiva with a five-speed manual is a valuable classic car because the automatic transmission was invented, like, EIGHTY YEARS AGO!!: http://detroit.craigslist.org/mcb/atq/2128749601.html Notice the lovely vacuformed plastic packaging, confirming that this set is indeed from the 1930s. I don't know why I even have to point this out, but: NO AFFILIATION!!! |

I've said it before and I'll say it again: these people walk around every day and we cross paths with them and they drive cars and vote.

A few weeks ago I told a graduate student at my university that Queen Elizabeth
II had been trained as a car mechanic during WWII and he seriously asked me if I was sure cars had been invented that early. The computer culture is very much focused on the latest fads, so this kind of thinking should not surprise us... Happy New Year to all, all the best!

I've actually seen one of those toy cannon radios at the flea market. I think the seller was asking $4 for it. It played, but sounded real cheap. I wonder why?
Here in Dogpatch, USA, we have all the latest crap electronics. You should see what they try to pass off as quality at the local GW store... |
