Antique Mall Sticker Shock....

[truetone36]

I did a little research on the console, it's a Motorola Model 17F11 from 1952.
It isn't going anywhere at that price,so I'm gonna wait a while. I found out it's
been there for almost 4 years. Who knows, maybe they'll need the floor space for faster moving stuff and be willing to make a deal in a year or so. I've never paid more than $50 for a 50s combo and I'm not going to if I can keep from it.

Ticks me off at these so-called "experts" who price their stuff so damn high like that. These nincompoops think since something has Tooobs, it's automatically Old, & therefore Rare & Valuable. I must have seen half-a-zillion Zenith "K725" style AM/FM bakelite radios over the years in their various iterations-they are neither rare, nor I think, especially valuable, but i've seen 'em w/prices up to $100 in "Antique Shoppes".

Don't you just love it when a seller says "someone told me this radio was worth $500". My reply usually is "see if they'll give you $250 for it". Or,"the book says this radio is worth $110 and that's what I want for it". They fail to read the part that states that the book is a GUIDE only and does not reflect the current retail price. They also fail to read the part concerning CONDITION of the radio. And then you have those that see a common radio get bid up to 30 times what it's worth on epay and they assume theirs is worth that much. I guess some of these people have not figured out that somethings only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
