Anyone heard of the or own a Avanti 5/8 antenna?

Sorry, but I no longer will sell to anybody that I dont know in person or deal with on a regular basis. Plus none of my classic antennas or radios are for sale.

A cb'er here is using a old time what is called a avanti 5/8th wave base ground plane antenna and i know avanti is no longer making antennas so where could i find one? i looked at his and it just looks way better built than a maco ground plane and it transmits and recieve's way way better.
Radioman, I was wondering if you were still looking for a Avanti Sigma 5/8 wave model AV-170 base antenna. Still being used and all original and from the 70's
