621, Nice low Opening Bid

Why not start something like this very low, to get a few more bidders into the game. But 99 cents?

He was listing it with a $2k opening but got no bites, guess he changed his strategy.
It's up to $105 already.

That's how I like to list it, when I know the item will command nice $$$. More fun that way! Something about human nature, it does get people bidding faster. See it all the time at a live auction. They'll start the bidding at $100, no bidders until it drops to $2, final price ends up something like $500. But everybody had to sit on their hands to see how low it might go!

A 621 is one of those sets that I'll only end up getting by accident, I'm afraid.

Ideally the CRT, chassis, and cabinet should be shipped separate.

I usually list high-end sets at .99 with no reserve. It's a gamble, but I've come out ahead (based on comps) every time. I sold a prewar Meissner 5" table model that way for another collector, as well as my extra CT-100 a few years ago. Both went for more than expected, and sat nervously low 'til the last few seconds.
