And the winner of the Delusional award is...

In celebration of Academy Awards weekend, I nominate this mook for the most delusional e*%& listing of all time. You cannot make a typo this big.

Wait, I found my NIB Electra W/T's on a shelf with original 1960's 9v batteries still in the cellophane wrappers! Now available for $176,000. PM me.

How many photos do you need of a rectangular box? Also: if they're that valuable, why is shipping only $10.50? I'd want them via armored car. This guy is high on carbon tet.

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.
