Saw this while searching ebay

I saw that listing too and was surprised at how high the bidding had gone. Looks a little rough and the CRT is in unknown condition :dunno:

That was my exact thought too,why was it so high?
Is this model very desirable?

I see nothing to lift that set out of the under-$50 category.

It's impossible to know why people pay what they do on eBay. Some of the worst overpayers are people who don't really know that type of item but suddenly decide they must have one. I occasionally get email from hapless shoppers like that. Aunt Minnie's 90th birthday is next week and the kids decided to find her a TV or radio just like the one she owned years ago . . . or whatever.

It must be something about the style, because the similar 10T2 10" Motorola with cloth front always seems to go for at least twice as much as you'd expect.
