Joe, Same thing happened to me with some Johnson 559 mobile radios, that's all I use on my Ham UHF repeaters. I went in one day and found a stack of five radios and base. Looked to have been there a long time! I went up and made an offer of what I had been getting them for at Hamfests and he really got mad. He yelled at me and said, "I paid over 800 Bucks each for those radios 20 years ago and you want to come in and steal them?" I said, never mind and walked out. About two years ago the guy passed away and the radios were still there, from what I understand everything went in a dumpster. Paul

(Value is in the eye of the beholder). I recently helped toss some of this "stuff" into a dumpster at a silent keys home. It was always too valuable for him to sell for a cheap price. 73, Joe, K1ike skipp025 wrote: > I missed year #4 (last year) but I'm looking forward to > visiting with my old friend to see if he's now willing > to make a deal in year #5. > > cheers, > s. > > > No virus found in this incoming message.
