And you won't have to pay shipping or sales tax! He followed me for a few steps as I left, trying to convince me. As often happens, I thought of what to say afterwards: If I'm on Ebay looking at an MFJ frequency counter, it's probably because I'm specifically looking FOR an MFJ frequency counter. In that case, the $100 is possibly reasonable. At the flea market OTOH, I'm not looking for a specific item - just for anything that hits my fancy. It probably takes a lower price to "hit my fancy" than if I'm specifically looking. - Jerry, KF6VB __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

And the front end FET blew quite easily on one of the transverters. I think the FETs themselves are no longer available.

Re: [Elecraft] XV 144 trasnverter for sale
I firmly agree. What is this, /r/choosingbeggars? Or Craigslist? This is what I'm used to seeing on Reddit... CB: Is (thing) still for sail? Seller: Yes, it is. Like I said in my ad posting, I want $600, firm. No haggling, no low balls. CB: I can get it for FREE? Seller: No. $600, firm. No haggling, no low balls. CB: I have $100, cash. Deal? Seller: Absolutely NOT. The price is $600, firm. No haggling, no low balls. CB: C'mon, bruh! I can get the same thing for $350 from this guy I know. Seller: Then get it from him. My price is $600, firm. No haggling, no low balls. CB: Gimme a break, bruh, you'll never get that price! It's too high! You should take my $100 cash. Will you deliver? Seller: Can you read? I want $600, firm. No haggling, no low balls. And it's pickup only. CB: But I have to drive an hour! You pay me $10 for gas! Seller: Seriously? No. CB: (bleep) you! Your a scammer! (Various low IQ insults, most misspelled.) Seller: Ok, I'll change the price, just for you. CB: Rilly? $100 cash? CB: ? CB: ??? Seller: $700, firm. No haggling, no low balls. CB: (Incoherent rant.) I blok and s repurt u, scammar! Seller: ... Seller: $800, firm. CB: WHAGARR! Seller: (Blocks CB) If the guy wants to sell it for $600, and your think it's too high, just move on.

Anybody can ask whatever they want, and should t have to deal with others complaining about the asking price. Value is set by the parties dealing with one another, not the guy that happened to sell one for less or one who bought a competitive product.

Re: [Elecraft] XV 144 trasnverter for sale
I’ve got a brand new in the box unassembled XV144.

Judging by my recent transaction, $600 is way too high. Last month, I purchased an XV144 and an XV432 transverter in 'as new’ condition. The only things that were missing was any cables and manuals - which are available to download from Elecraft. Including shipping from the USA to the UK, taxes and insurance, I paid under $500 for the entire package.
