    That kind of reminds me of a radio I came across on flebay the other day.It was a galaxy 33 old 1 final radio that was for parts he wanted $30 to start the bid and $30 for shipping so I offered $10 bucks with the over rated shipping and got denied.:biggrin_2554:

    Hhhmmmm I was under the impression second hand thrift shops sell stuff real cheap, and "as is" and not "best offer". A pawn shop I could see doing something like this.

    BTW is this a Night watch Cobra you're referring to?

    I suggest you take a look at what is available at a T/A truckstop. They have a 10% off sale on cobra cb radios some with a mail in rebate also during January & February 2012.
