That's why I would much rather trade radio stuff for other radio stuff, rather than to try to sell for cash. Inevitably, whenever I ask enough $$ to make a sale worth my while, someone thinks I am asking too much and ripping the other person off. All dollar(ette)s are exactly the same, steadily lose buying power every day that passes, and will probably be gone without a trace within weeks, if not days. But if I can trade what I think is a nice piece in exchange for a different piece that someone else thinks is nice, and both of us are happy and we each have a unique item that we may keep for years.
