UPDATE–Caveat emptor<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

I can no longer link to this deal. Several readers have noted the seller has no history nor feedback. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Additionally, Joe notes that “The same seller is offering the Tecsun PL-660 for $39.99 and the Tecsun PL-360 for $17.47, among other extraordinarily low-priced items.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks guys–I’m sorry, but that’s just too good to be true. I’ve removed the eBay links below.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To be clear: eBay provides a money back guarantee for buyers in instances like this, but it would be an extra hassle, for sure. I just feel these prices are too good to be true.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here’s the original post:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Dave Zantow (N9EWO)<\/a>, who notes:<\/p>\n

“I see the sour DSP version of the DE1103 are down to rock bottom prices up on eBay.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Any potential buyers should note:<\/strong> while this DE1103 looks identical to the excellent DE1103\/KA1103 receiver produced through 2014, the DE1103 DSP model leaves much<\/em> to be desired. Check out my review from 2015<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Still, for $22.56 US shipped, it would make for a great FM radio if nothing else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
