Ciao ragazzi (Hey guys) - check this out:

Italy's own version of Fair Radio Sales.  Fun way to learn Italian, electronics style!


Ciao,

860 euros for a "Magnifico" BC 610!

[AJ1G]

What's 860 euros in real American money?

It all sounds a lot sexier than the Fair Radio catalog in Italian!  Jamie Lee Curtis ("...talk to me in Italian..." in a Fish Called Wanda) was right!

The BC-610 and matching 342s seem to be some sort of NATO surplus - have been repainted light blue gray....

Hey Frank - what' a "carcia batterie"? - one of the links on the radioelectronica.it page you can link to from the surplus site. I could not understand what the page said, but it looks like they are out of them maybe.

According to to-day's local newspaper, the Euro is running $1.36 USD.  Or one US dollarette is worth €0.74

Given the turn the world monetary system has taken for the past 5 months or so, the Italians would undoubtedly prefer to talk about US dollarettes in terms of "real" Euromoney.

There are several things about pricing I have never been able to figure out:
1) Who actually buys the stuff out of Fair Radio and other surplus outfits at the prices posted. Where are the folks who buy this stuff?
These companies will have a whole mountain of left handed 36 volt widgets from the Granada invasion and they will be $99.95 ea. Is that the cost to put in the landfill or what?

2) Why stuff at Pawn shops is always higher than new.

I used to think that the prices were negotiating start points--WRONG!
Do they just want to keep it for display?

These questions rate up there with "where are all of my lost socks?"
"where do lost pocket knives go?"

?

Or even more mystifying, who buys the stuff at the prices posted at Ripoff Sales of Nebraska?

As for folks who pay to much.. It is across all Hobbys. Check out this thread from one of the "other" boards I hang out on http://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/50893/79018.html?1232140669  In Ham terms $63,800 for this car would be like selling a Good Ranger for $20K

Chris, I guess some cousin has a battery co in the mother land. Go into the link deeper and you will see a portable battery. Hope he doesn't advertise in some stupid pink rabbit suit banging a drum. (hot babe in something tight black, a little hair on her upper lip with a big strap)
