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!!:

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 feel sad for this seller. They have no idea what they have or have been tricked by someone playing a cruel joke. For $1700 dollars it better include a FRESH nine volt battery

Well yall just aint from *Sterling Heights* so yall dont understand the true value or a classic.

They had 9VOLT BATTRYS Back Then ?!? An' Plastics, too ?!? Well, Jubulation T. Cornpone ! Who'd a-thunk it ! Myrtle, han' me the checkbook & the Sail Fone...

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.

..An' have kids. Typically, LOTS of kids...(Cue "Dueling Banjos" here...)

LOL!
I bet it has "booming" audio!

Aw man this must be the same person who was selling the "rust free" crown vic the other day on my local craigslist... I could literary see through the other side of the car...

If I were feeling generous, I might offer $1.75 :D Might have some parts I could use, like geranium transistors. :D

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...
