He should show a screen shot of the paypal transaction not the sold sign.
I love the status of the radio "For parts or not working" on the ad. A futile attempt using
artificial bidding to drive the price up.

Dude ur a jack ass, and your workmanship is poor at best. I have seen, used one of your CB's, I was there when the box was opened...I do not, and will NEVER have you "work" on a radio.
You can say what you will, facts are facts. And I just got down.

What I find amusing the most, is the "custom" modifications (radio bling bling) that made him popular and well known take absolutely no technical skill to perform.

99% of truckers could install nitro knobs and a decal for the faceplate, and they now have a wicked-snake or something mobile radio..
Maybe it's all voodoo for the uninformed though...
I suppose it would take some level of skill for the "super trucker echo" install, but we all know how "hard" an echo board is to install.

Shaking my head... $900.
I asked myself "how many bids came from the snake charmer himself"?

Anyone who pays $900 for an old CB radio deserves to lose $900.

If it was a radio passed down from a deceased family member and had sentimental value I could understand "spending more than it is worth".

But a random eBay find? No way!!

It was "restored" by the guy that sold it. That said I would still never spend $900 on a glorified Cobra 148 w freq counter, speaker, alarm clock and average power supply. I recently purchased a like New base station 40Ch SSB built much better than the Cobra 2000 ever was in terms of components used, design, rf shielding, etc....It does not have a clock or freq counter built in but I can get a clock if I need one for less than $9 or use my $29 cell phone, laptop, computer or one of the many clocks in my home. I spent $140 including shipping. It arrived at my home 1400 miles away from the point of sale 2 days after I paid for it well packaged.

You could get one heck of a nice gently used but older all mode HF+ rig for $900. You could purchase a life time supply of high end tubes for $900 assuming you know how to use a tube amplifier.

I have 3 boys I could buy them each a nice 40CH SSB mobile with freq counter, antenna's for mobile use and LMR 400 coax for them all and be under $900. So put into perspective $900 for a single base station unit for CB is shocking!

$900.00 for a hacked and over modded old Cobra 2000 doesn't make any sense to me either.
