Up..Up..and eBay!!

If you're a broadcaster and you're not an eBay fanatic, you are really missing the boat. Not only is eBay a good source of everything from computer supplies, to cheap CD players and stereo cassette decks, it's also an excellent way to turn that junk in the backroom into cash! What do you have that people might want? One thing collectors like is old broadcast equipment catalogs....your old 4CX250B's and assorted other vacuum tubes are hot items...as are variable capacitors, NOS (new old stock) repair parts for a tape deck you probably don't have any more...those old QRK turntables in the corner will sell quite readily as do old cart machines. Do you have an old console or two lying around? It doesn't matter whether or not they work...somebody wants 'em! Let me repeat, an item does not have to be working...it doesn't even have to be complete...somebody somewhere probably wants it. Whatever you do, do NOT bring in a dumpster and toss out your old stuff, sell it on eBay. If you want to see what broadcasters are selling just go to ebay.com and type "broadcast" in the search box...or type in the brand name and model number of something you have in your possession. WARNING: Once you start delving into the world of eBay you'll have a hard time stopping.
