Re: [Drakelist] R4B price ?

[Doug Smith]

I would say no -- not normal.  I'd guess a couple of guys *really* wanted 
that R4-B.

Sometimes I'll track closing prices on various pieces of gear that I'm 
contemplating buying.  I haven't tracked the receivers for about a year but 
at that time R4-B prices were averaging $178.  But, that was with only 3 
data points.  The high was $233.  Probably higher now.

Closing prices tend to be all over the map depending on how well the seller 
presents his item, the sellers reputation, the sun spot cycle, etc. etc.

For example, lately, I've been watching T-4XC prices (thinking of picking 
up a spare).  And, with 24 data points:
Low:    $153
Avg:    $272
High:   $580

With 72 data points, the L-4B:
Low:    $350
Avg:    $722
High:   $1200

With 71 data points, the MN-2000:
Low:    $75
Avg:    $217
High:   $345

My strategy is to look for really nice gear at average prices.  The 
spreadsheet helps me know what is a good deal and what isn't.

There is a fairly continuous stream of Drake gear for sale there and here 
on the list.  Be patient and the right receiver, at the right price, will 
come your way.

I have R4A, thought I might be interested in getting an R4B.
There was an average looking one on the E place last night that went for
over $500, is that normal ?
