$2,375 is the current trade in value of an ORION as I was recently quoted,
against the O2. So the factory has essentially provided a floor on the
ORION value. I am waiting delivery on the O2, but given the idea that I
could buy an ORION for $2,375, and get on the air with it in a matter of
days, is starting to sound pretty good. At these prices I could afford 2
ORIONs for the price of one O2, and I sure do miss my ORION that I used to
have. Best receiver I've ever used.

I think there's a bit of crowd mentality, self-fulfilling prophecy going
on. Hey, the market makes the rules not me, but the used price of the O1
should be going up, not down considering high prices for O2/IC7800/FTDX9000
and the rather minor nature of the O2 upgrade. There was an initial drop in
the O1's used price due to anticipated number of owners who upgrade to the
O2, but then the supply of used O1's should fall off and price stabilize or
climb higher. A late model 565AT with a filter thrown in at $2375 is a
firesale price IMHO. But the sellers and buyers make the market, not the
sideliners . . .
