One of our RG club members at a swap meet about 10 years ago went to a booth that had a working 40 radio. The vendor's kids were working the stall while he was out looking for parts. The radio was supposed to be for sale for $200. The kids heard the father tell a different buyer it was "2" meaning $200. and was understood by the previous shopper. While the kids were there they sold the radio for $2. to our club member who bragged about it. I believe there are ethics involved when someone that doesn't understand the true value of something sells it for a ridiculously low price. Especially when it is a kid who probably caught hell from his dad. I haven't spoken to this person since. Ethics, you either have them or you don't is my belief.
