I know, value is in the eyes of the beholder. And what some people think is overpriced, others may think as inexpensive. And people on this forum are not willing to pay as much for a radio as those not as well informed. And a person with alot of money is more willing to spend more.

I am going to list a restored 201X on eBay in a couple of months (haven't started the restoration, yet). I know there were ony 2500 made. I know the original price was $250. I have heard the term "holy grail".

I want to know what YOU think is a fair price. I also want to know what YOU consider top dollar for this radio.

Thoughts from all of you reading this might help in correct pricing of restored/non-restored radios for all of us that are not collectors, but just buy, restore (or refurbish, as some like to call it), and resell.

Thanks to all in advance.
