Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Robert Gulley, who shares this link to an eBay auction for a Zenith Transoceanic D7000Y in an unopened box<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Let’s be clear here: this is no “Black Friday” deal. The seller has this gem listed at $5,800 plus shipping! I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen a Transoceanic listed at this price level.<\/p>\n

Of course, as one friend always reminds me: “eBay is there to show you things you’d rarely stumble upon in daily life–you just need a chunk of change to snag it!”<\/p>\n

The seller is listing this as-is since he isn’t going to open the box to test the unit. He does claim that if it arrives DOA, he’ll have is repaired free of charge (buyer pays shipping).<\/p>\n

Still: $5,800 is hefty<\/em> sum–several thousand over my threshold! No doubt, a Transoceanic collector will snag this eventually.<\/p>\n
