Not mine, no affiliation, just saw this on CL and raised a Spock-like eyebrow... I have no interest in this much stuff, but maybe you guys do...

Generally the massive lots of stuff are all overpriced garbage...and this one looks like it's no exception. Maybe $1-2k, surely not $5.

The scopes might be worth a few bucks, but those radios look like landfill. He has it backwards -- he should be paying someone to haul that stuff away.

I agree the scopes are of interest, but most of the radios look like parts radios only, hes way off his price

A lot of dead weight in that collection. I wonder if it's already been cherry picked since none of the photos show a single diamond in that pile of rocks. Whoever buys that collection may have to sell what good stuff there is just to get his investment back and then make do with whats left over. From what I've seen from the poor photos shown, I wouldn't even give $1000 for that lot.

You KNOW the price is wrong as soon as you see "baker lite" radios.

Wayyyy to much money. 500$ would be my max and I would want to see better photos. I love the saying "I have been collecting radios for 30 years and they have not been repaired or plunged in" It should read hoarding. I do spy a nice plaskon emerson 157 but there is a chip missing out of it. But in all reality it is just a bunch of junk.....

$500? You'd be doing him a favor by hauling it off. Yes, there a few ok sets, but probably not a real kicker that would make it worthwhile. I've run into a few of those "collections" where there was hardly a set without serious fault. Either he chose poorly or it's been cherry picked.

Let's not be ignoramuses, now.... yes, 5k is out of the question, but with the photos he's posted, less than 1/4 of the radios he says he has are even shown. He could have a little old cardboard box with a heap of '$500 each' pocket SS radios.

Is that a Zenith Stratosphere in the 5th picture????

Come on guys........."20 baker lite radios". I don't have no baker lite radios. I like junk like that, because nobody wants it, and I can get it cheap. Think I oughta fire up the old Chevy peekumup and head on out there? Maybe oughta hook up the trailer, too. I'll bet that for $200 cash money on the spot, I'd be loading my trailer with that stuff...............GREG

I thought the same thing but then that little voice went off in my head, "*** do you think you're going to do with that many radios? Where are you going to put them!? You haven't fixed the ones you have NOW!!!" and I was like, "ok."

They "have not been repaired or plunged in"

Well, at least they're dry.

Okay, I stand corrected. "I don't have no baker lite radios that have not been repaired or plunged in". There. I ALWAYS have room for 50 more radios, give or take. I don't have them stacked to the ceiling yet, and they are only one row deep. The secret is the correct ratio of console to smaller radios so that you will have room to stack more. I worry about fixing them after I rescue them............GREG

I'll admit that I went back for a second look....Good show

Must have been cropped out of my picture I saw.

They put the $5K price on them because they NOWATA sell. Lived in that there neighborhood (Rogers County) for a few years. Got some good deals but too many people thought their junk was made of solid gold. Actually, I find the same thing here but with fewer good deals. I always did well traveling the back roads of Kansas.
