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 ?
