How many of you have bought a spare k2 and inventoried it than put it
back in the box and have it on a shelve waiting for the price to go up
like heath kits have done?
see ya
It isn't necessary to inventory the parts as the value of the kit is for an
"unassembled kit". Once you put it together the "extra value" vanishes so a
missing resistor or two would never be noticed. I also noticed that the
hunger for unassembled kits seems to be abating somewhat. An HW-9 unbuilt
kit used to go for over $1000 now they are going for a few hundred.
One should also consider inflation. Suppose you pay $600 for a K2 today and
5 years from now the unassembled kit is going for $1800? The rub is that
inflation is such that $4 then will only buy what $1 does today. Great
return on your money!
