Factory am/fm radio ""what are they worth""

$500.00? $250.00? Ridiculous.
They sell reproductions for just over $250.
You matching-number/orginal guys are TOO RICH for my blood.

I could spend that kind of money, but why?
I'll place my pride and ego elsewhere.
The dollar is worth half every few years.
Looks like million dollar bills will be the new 100 when I retire-if I am lucky.

I don't wanna pay more than $30 for an old radio, $70 for a VERY nice one-and it better have FM, only my grandfather could go without. I appologize if this post irritates anybody as a lack of help, but these prices bother me.
