I know a '457 is a desirable radio, but some people are nuts...I'll bet the guy who owns the $780 dollar radio was only expecting to get 150-200 for it....since bids passed the 225 mark, it appears only 2 guys are into the bidding....I would have quit at the 150 mark...this model is quite common on ebay, so why all the excitement?

This one is just as bad. $450 for a 1977 Midland 79-892 40 channel sideband mobile without the manual. I have three of them new in the box with everything included, and the most I paid for any of them was about $79.

I only gave 25 bucks for my old 455..outside of some cosmetic clean-up and a quick going over on the bench, it was plug and play.

If you ever go to sell that 455 I want it, keep me in mind!

I'd have serious problems buying any radio off Ebay.

CB, I am with you, ejunk is what it is. I was lucky in some purchases. lost out on one or two.
Now, I know better.

As for the 457, I understand why people want one. BUT $475.00?? Crazy!!!!

73's

For $779.00 i can get a nice, used, Kenwood TS 570d that will stomp that 457 into a freaking mud hole on SSB!!!!!!! I hope the bidder feels stupid for paying that much..
The last 457 i bought i gave 75.00 for it.. I dont get WHY people think the 457 is such a wonderful radio. Id rather have a President Madison 858 over the 457 any day!!!!!

Ya, I can think of a heck of a lot of other radios I'd spend that kind of money on.
