I would keep regular correspondence with the seller so that he won't toss it.
I've had this happen to me twice. I purchased something on ebay and explained to the seller that I couldn't pick it up for at least 3 weeks. He said that was ok and I thought that was that. sure enough when I went to go get it it had either been tossed out by his wife tired of waiting or someone else had offered him more for it in the meantime. In both cases I got my money back, but you can still never be too sure

This is a true possibility. But I don't think there are too many opportunities of insane people paying that amount for that set.
 And hopefully, since the seller has a good feedback rating, that is some sort of indication. He has been in contact with me and I will be using ***pal to pay for it giving me some protection. I do hope it all goes smooth. Just out of curiosity, I listed it on UShip.com to see if anyone who is coming my way may want to make some bucks by picking it up. I did this with a Zenith Chromacolor II out of CA for the cost of gas and it worked...so this may save me a drive.  I really want to go back to Denver over Atlanta. I am from Panama City, FL and have seen the South pretty well. I didn't get to spend enough time in Denver checking out all the railroads, etc. Roy

I hated to do it but after email & voicemail communication from the seller, I felt there was something terribly wrong.
I may be wrong but I felt that I was about to lose a lot of money and have nothing to show for it. My gut instincts are often correct enough for me to trust them and sadly I walked away from this set.  I thought I had finally gotten hold of a ctc-9.  I am disgusted with the whole ebay experience.

I'm sorry to hear that. If there are transactions like this sometimes its best to either give a small down payment in order to secure what you've bought, then give the rest in cash later.
Give it some patience, you'll get one.

Thanks everyone.
This was a bummer but who knows, something better may be just waiting around the corner. I know many of you have been down this kind of road a time or two and I am really glad there is a place that I can go and know there are people who understand the passion of collecting and saving these sets and the pitfalls that sometimes go with the insanity. Did I say insanity? I meant hobby...that's right...insan...uh...hobby.

available
purchased in 1963 for $100.
21CYP22 replaced with 21FBP22 Rare earth around 1974. Last time turned on was 1976, worked then, but I could not stand the round picture after getting a new solid state quasar. Have the remote, could not stand using it because it was so slow.

Guys, remember the rules. You can't post "for sale" items in threads. It has to go in the classifieds. If you don't take it to PM, the thread will get locked down.
eberts, nice set btw.

He added some new pictures of the inside and it looks like a basket case to me. very poor condition. most I would pay for that set in unknown condition is 100.

"I put a vcr on it yesterday and tried to get it to play but couldn't get it to work"
I'm Stupefied! I mean, with the obvious "kid glove" treatment that things had, it MUST to be something MINOR! Maybe he just didn't have it plugged in all the way? Looks like his dog arced a whiz on the grill cloth three times...
