[GreenKeys] EBay at its worst

[Alf Fisher]

Hi Dave,
I don't think you can blame eBay, its the vendors that set prices too high in the first place.
I was interested in a 300-0-300 mains transformer that had a starting bid of £48 but in my view this is too high for a used item. 

The 7B does look good but I reckon he should at least move the decimal point one place left to be nearer the mark.
I think £100 for the 7B & 6S/6M.

I see he also has a Creed 75 with a 115v governed motor but without paper tape facilities although it is dual speed. 
He is asking £500 'Buy it now' but I think £100 is more likely to sell it.

that's just my idea of course and others are welcome to have their own values.

73
Alf

  Don't you just love horrors like this:-

  The vendor obviously thinks the price is high, but by saying "nearest offer" they have turned it into a blind auction where you know you are going to get ripped off....

  ... any thoughts on what a reasonable price for this would be. It does look immaculate...

  P.S. if any one has a 5-level reader in Europe they would part with I would be glad to pay a "reasonable" price.
