[TenTec] Look what ORION 2 did

[bob finger]

60% of new price for a just out of production radio is "fair value" in 
my opinion.  If it were still in production a like new example would go 
for about 70-75% of value.  What we advertise them for and what they 
sell for may well be two different values.  I was lucky enough to find 
two Alpha 87A's within the past year for 60% of new; one just before and 
the other just after the end of life announcement by Alpha.  I think 
both buyer and seller were happy campers.

At 60% of new, an Orion is a very good value.  If you bought yours as an 
investment I am sorry, but like most equities you have to sit on it for 
a very long time to see an increase in value.  You did get to use the 
spectacular receiver for the time you owned it.  That should be good for 
something.  If you want to make money invest in something more 
substantial, buy real estate in a rising market or blue chips and plan 
on holding em for a long time. An Orion is a consumable, not an investment.

I will not sell my Orion.....it works too well for me.  I will  buy 
another Orion for 60% of new in a heartbeat if it is in excellent 
condition and I can test drive it before purchase consumation.  Any 
offers?  I'm color blind so the O II holds no fascination for me. Happy 
Thanksgiving all.  73 bob de w9ge
