Is there something I am missing here?

P.T. Barnum nailed it "There's a sucker born every minute". I think he saw eBay coming.

At the end of the day that old radio is still a cheaply made 40 channel CB. That's all!!!! $150.00 and climbing = S-T-U-P-I-D.

ah that would have been W.C.FIELDS that coined that term
"a sucker born every minute"
along with
"never give a sucker an even break":tt2:
 
P.T. Barnum is credited with that quote.

Duster is correct, Barnum was "credited" as having said the now famous words.

The most creditable sources say:

David Hannum Is actually the one that made the statement, after he and 4 other business men bought 2/3`s interest in the " Cardiff Giant " Statue from Mr. George Hull for $30.000.
Barnum went on to have another one made, and claimed that the one Mr. George Hull sold to Hannum and his associate's was a fake.
In reality both of them were fakes, but as the saying goes......

He also said when asked why he drank oj and vodka instead of water and his statement was "because fish f**k in it".
