Truth in advertising?

[TriodeGuy]

You know, I can appreciate the work this guy must have put into this thing. But should he really be advertising it as "new"? I wonder how much it will go for. :scratch2:

"new" Dyna FM 3 (http://cgi.ebay.com/FM-3-NEW-FM3-NEW-DYNACO-FM-3-BEST-OFFER_W0QQitemZ5812491339QQcategoryZ3282QQrdZ1QQcm dZViewItem)

A more truthful ad might have said "Rebuilt to as new condition" or "Better than new". I don't know enough about Dynaco tuners to judge them but $299 is a lot of money. If I had that much play money I'd save a little more and be looking for something like a Yamaha T-85 or TX-1000, a Kenwood KT-5040 or KT-7020 or absolutely mint KT-8300, a Mitsubishi DA-F20, a Philips 6731, or a Nikko Gamma V. Lots of great tuners on the market in the $275 to $350 range.
