FleaBay is getting worse and worse. The asking prices on amateur radio gear are getting ridiculous and shipping costs are going through the roof because sellers are getting even more greedy. If I want to purchase high end gear, I’ll just buy it new through a reputable dealer.
It's not just eBay. Look at Eham or QRZ. There are a ton of people trying to sell used equipment for barely less than or equal to the price of brand new. It's just silly.
