it's nearly as bad as a KB toaster.
Ye olde KB toaster is a favourite set, I have one but a pain to work on.
I quite like it! Perhaps because it is so different. I'm tempted by the one on eBay, but have too many ugly radios here already. Can't imagine the small loudspeaker and plastic cabinet does much for the sound quality though...
I think it's just excitement in the sale-room. I once left a commission bid of fifteen pounds on a set but in the end was able to attend the sale in person. Somebody else bid eighteen and I went up to twenty and got it.
