Just to let you know, I strongly disagree with you about this. When someone has a track record of deceit and outright dishonesty going back at least 10 years is enough "strong evidence" for me. What if you found out a employee had a record of theft and drug use at his last 10 jobs ? Would you say t...

After arraigning shipping I sent him $660 in the form of a US Postal MO. I sent the MO via US Express mail. If someone says they 'Only accept PO money order', how do you get your money back if it is a scam? If you paid for the MO with a credit card, can you dispute the charge and get a refund? If y...

Do any of these rip-off crooks ever get busted for stealing money on here? I see lots of postings where someone has bought something and never paid. Lots of negative feedback and grumbling and complaing, but that is as far as it goes. If I didn't give a rip about my reputation, I could make a lot of...

Have you ever Googled "radio-mart" and read all of the other horror stories ? Or are you just assuming that because since you got a good deal ( and I am glad you did ) that everyone else has and will been treated the same as you ? So, that affects you - how??? Did you have a bad transaction with Ra...

And this concerns you - how????

How many forum members does it take to write about buying a lightbulb? One to buy the light bulb and to post that the light bulb burned out. Fourteen to share similar experiences of buying light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been purchased differently. Seven to caution about the dangers of...

I usually look at the 'Replies' list. If there aren't any, it is usually positive.

If there are a whole bunch of replies, it is usually negative. Most of the replies are left by the same people, whether they bought something from the seller or not. 73

I think Pictures are WAAYY Over-rated. I also think that some of the usual "tire kickers" around here must collect them. Yes and no. If there any flaws in the equipment you are selling, showing them in a picture can save a lot of grief later. Someone can't complain there is a scratch on the display...

My experience was NOT a "good" one....

Bought an HT antenna that made "gain" claims it didn't come close to.

Gain over what?

Every antenna has 'gain' over something.

Let me add that my Russian ham friend has never asked me to make a fraudulent claim on a custom form. He's only stressed that I should correctly specify that the equipment is used, because that greatly reduces the duty that he has to pay on his end. When I was doing a lot of eBay, I found out that ...

Maybe it's me, but if the guy is as mature and educated as he would like us to believe, wouldn't his spelling and grammar be somewhere past the 4th grade? Who needs a spell checker, anyway.

The survey doesn't stipulate that you had to buy from him. Maybe They DID read the feedback and have developed their opinion from that? BTW most of the bad feedback on the net is from Ebay deals. Then why would they post something here if they never purchased anything from him? Kinda weird to me. M...

I just wonder how many people who voted 'No' actually bought something from him. I think they are just trying to stir the pot, or just don't have anything else in their life to do. It really seems unreal to me that 38 people have had a bad dealing with this seller seeing that you can read the feedba...

"I think the biggest problem is that most hams are afraid of the customs papers and just don't want to mess with it." I sold stuff on eBay where I worked, and when we first started, we sold to Canada. A lot of the ones who bought wanted us to lower the price on what they bought so they wouldn't have...

I've known Van for a long time and he's always been an up front guy. Something is for sale until the money is exchanged, or at least that it what I thought. Wouldn't you do the same thing if someone wanted to purchase something locally so you wouldn't take a chance on UPS busting it like they usuall...

I recently purchased an AEA MorseMatic keyer from Vern, W7WH. Item arrived very quickly and works great. Would definately deal with again. Thanks for a nice keyer. 73

Hi All I just bought a TS-450SAT from Vlad, WY6DX, and it was a great transaction. He was right on the ball answering emails, and the radio arrived, packed great, and just like advertised. I'm very satisfied with this deal. Would definately deal with him again. You can trust this seller. 73 Tom W7WHY
