How much? ( I was thinking maybe $40 )
Well, on Ebay, they go for $100. But I'm only asking $99! And you
won't have to
pay shipping or sales tax!

As often happens, I thought of what to say afterwards:
If I'm on Ebay looking at an MFJ frequency counter, it's probably
because I'm specifically
looking FOR an MFJ frequency counter. In that case, the $100 is
possibly reasonable. At the flea
market OTOH, I'm not looking for a specific item - just for anything
that hits my fancy. It probably takes a lower price to "hit my fancy"
than if I'm specifically looking.
