That guy must be smoking some good stuff for a AM only radio.

He will get his price, there are enough fools on Ebay.

Just buy a 7300 and convert it. Far better radio for the same money.

Paying $1,297.99 for $200 radio is a special kind of stupid.

 

[Shadetree Mechanic]

I think they accidentally stuck an extra zero on the end of the price.

You and W9CLL hit the nail on the head ! LOL

Don't they bump the price up when something is out of stock instead of just removing the product. Then when back in stock lower the price?

But if you buy two or more they're only $1,233.09 each. So then you're only $1073 over the MSRP of a new one, per radio.

Wow,

I’m in the wrong business if someone can make over $800 profit doing simple mods to a radio!

I remembered that Beiing a thing to do years back. It kept from losing the amounts of units sold. That was my initial thought as well or that it's a type-o. Effingham has been around long enough than to price something like that....

Oh, so only $140 over MSRP for a new one.

But, but, but, it has Schottky diode upgrades!! LOL.

Purchase history on my end the last one sold 11/22/22 for $297.99. Just a pricing error I think.

At their other online store, CB Radio Supply, you can buy a President McKinley shipped to the door for $175. Waiting on mine to be delivered because I did order one.

Shipped from Carrolton, Texas. Think they use drop shipping which is fine by me as long as I get what I ordered.
