Please don't bid,
I want this all to myself, for firewood!

Such a steal for $200.

Wow... that is amazing. That RCA's cabinet has aged gracefully, just like Phil Spector. I wonder if they let him wear those wigs in prison?

The best part about finding this listing, is seeing all of the other amazing antiques this seller has to offer. I always love that whole "I don't claim to be an expert at the things I sell, so I imitate what I see in antique stores and price everything as pretentiously as possible" approach. Rusty old frying pans never seemed so exciting until you add that $140 price tag to them.

Wow, you weren't kidding! How about $800 for some old filthy window glass ?

Aw, that's nothing. Just build a new cabinet, build a new chassis to go in it, change out the pix tube, and it'll work fine.

That had been listed on Craigslist. I forget what they were asking for it but it may have been similar to the ebay ad with OBO. I thought about telling them that I sold a similar RCA console on ebay last year in much better condition and only got $20 for it.

I sent him this, with the topic POS:

If you cut yourself on that thing, get a tetanus shot IMMEDIATELY!

Let's see if the jackass posts it.

I noticed they lowered the price on the ebay auction, or you could get even more of a bargain through Craigslist.

I'd give $25 for the chassis & tube, if the tube was good.

It obviously sat in about 6 inches of water for some length of time.
