Why So High?

I bought one of these for under thirty bucks via Amazon almost five years ago. It's okay, nothing earth-shattering. Good for the type. Why anyone would pay so much for this is beyond me. I don't get it.

Mine is still in the original box, though the box itself is a bit worse for wear. I'd certainly let it go for less than this price, not that I'm offering, nor would I expect any takers. I'm just emphasizing the don't-get-it-thing.

It is hard to tune because the travel is so small and the tuning wheel stiff, so by the time you overcome friction to actually rotate the direct thumbwheel, you've already moved it too far. Ticky. The tinny sound will go fairly loud, but it is getting more difficult to find a pocket model with built-in speaker these days. Maybe that's why it's price is jacked up? I dunno.
