He was happy to see it fire up,the uhf rotated and locked into a station right away..
it's just too bad it has the 2 nicks from being moved around,otherwise IT IS like brand spanking new inside,even the control panel and pushbuttons look as though they were never touched... about 1 1/2 years ago one of these sets went for 735.00 on e-bay..he saw it ,and i saw it,and that one didnt work!

That's all well and good, but just because some dingaling paid that much for a dead set doesn't mean that is the true market value. I've seen more junk go for too much money on eBay, and then an identical item in mint condition go for a fraction.
Just the luck of the draw, not a true indicator of value.
As for my (and others) "slamming him" it's due to his starting price. He doesn't understand the nuances of eBay etiquette.
Start LOW. Put a reserve on it. But nooooooooooooo, he'd rather keep spending money on eBay fees and waste time by continuing the same old same old.
Some people define insanity as repeating the same thing and expecting a different result.

PS He may want to post a photo of the inside of the set to show how clean it is. I'd say 90% of successful eBay auctions is presentation driven. Both the hyperbole of the description and pix are what get people to pony up the big bucks. And why shouldn't it? Other than an item being rare and desireable, there's nothing else to get people fired up to take a risk and spend their money on an item that they can't see or touch in the flesh. They MUST depend on what info in offered within the auction listing. Enuff already. Someone should smack him with a common sense stick.
