I believe that $1050.00 (shipped CONUS) would be a fair price for the FT-847.

I have purchased 847's in near mint condition (minus INRAD's) for as low as $750.00.

Use PayPal to pay for your purchase.

Best buyer protection I have found.

It is easy to have an item that is rated as 10+ The trick to this is that the rating system used is 0 - 100, not the 0 - 10 that we so often use. If someone tells me that an item I am interested in purchasing is rated as a number, then I make certain to ask what their rating is based on (0-5, 0-10, ...

Thanks for the info.

It will come in handy if I ever happen to consider a deal with Sean Ross, KK4CWA.
It's a shame he didn't send all that was listed in the ad and that he used such poor packing and shipping techniques.

And the verdict is...?????

I have dealt with Ike, K9IKE, several times as a buyer and seller with no problems.
He has always been a straight shooter with me and I wouldn't hesitate for a second to deal with him again.

Martyn, K4TEC, has always been a pleasure to deal with on my end. He has always met his end of the deal with honesty and integrity.

Thanks for the information, Martyn.
Sounds like good solid advice.

73,

I purchased an Alliance HD-73-1 rotor controller from John Brambora - W7GX.
John shipped the controller quickly and it arrived in excellent condition. Well-packed and in better physical condition than I expected. I would purchase from John anytime with complete confidence in his word. No worries.

I traded for an Alliance HD-73 rotor and control box from Jim Raines - KI5WK and he shipped fast, well packaged, and was as advertised. I would trade with Jim anytime, no worries. Thanks Jim.

I'd give it a week. If not received, then I would call or email the individual and tell them that the payment has not been received. I would then say that I am cancelling the transaction unless he/she could provide proof of money order purchase (copy of MO receipt tab). If no proof within 24hrs, I'd...

a mans word used to be his bond. That is a very true statement, Ralph. Fortunately, it still is for the majority of hams....It's just the few bad apples (rotten bacon?) that makes it tough to find out who you CAN trust nowadays. BTW, thanks for the excellent trade deal we had. You are one of the tr...

Thanks for the heads up, Martyn.
It is very much appreciated.

Enjoy the FT-920, Ralph.
The Pegasus is working great here.

Traded rigs with Ralph Wallace, KK4AQ. The Ten-Tec Pegasus I received is as described and packaged well. Good trader.

I see no problem with posting that an item is 'sold pending funds' , so long as the ad is removed when the funds are actually received. When I see an item that is marked as such I would think that it shouldn't take a month to receive the funds. I responded to an ad just today that was marked as 'sol...

I see that this is still an ongoing issue. I find many ads marked as 'SOLD' as well as ads marked 'SOLD PENDING FUNDS' several weeks after last edit to mark them as such. Seems like wasted bandwidth to me.

I recently purchased a Bencher RJ-2 key from Charlie.
Fast shipping and excellent packaging.
Beautiful key at a very fair price.
Thanks Charlie.
