I just completed a deal with Matt (W8MJM) and everything was just as he said. We talked on the phone and with e-mails.
I would be glad to deal with him again.

I was making a trade deal with Dan (N0FQN). I even offered money along with the trade to help lock in the deal. He said he would do the trade he just wanted to tell his wife and get back to me in an hour or two. Well he never got back to me so a day later I called and left him a message. Later he se...

I bought a TS570 from Carmine and it was as good as he said it was. He shipped on time and he kept good communication with me. I would buy from him again.

Rich, N2RY is a very good person to deal with. He responds to all e-mails and is willing to help make things go smooth and fast. I would deal again with him anytime and not worry about a thing.
He is one Ham you can trust!

I'm sorry Larry, please forgive me. I only noticed the dates on the last three posts before mine. I will pay closer attention next time.

I would not wait for him again. Relist your ad and sell it to someone else. I'll bet that he either will come up with another excuse or not contact you at all.

I have a Colins R-388 that is in fair condition for its age. It has all the original knobs and when plugged in it lights up.
I would like to know what it is worth in this condition, not restored?

Completed a radio trade deal with Ed, N3YDN and he was honest about the condition of his radio and shipped it out well packed and on time. I would deal with Ed again.

This is only about $25 but the point is he can't be trusted to do what he says. Here is how it started. I had two hand mics for sale here. Peter contacted me and said he will buy them and send out the money the next day. Eight days later nothing came so I contacted him and asked if he sent it. His a...

I just completed a trade with Jimmy (WB8NBI) and the mic I got from him was better then he said it was. He packed it well and shipped it on time. He also kept me informed by e-mail with how he shipped it and the tracking numbers.

Mic is an abbreviation of the word microphone and Mike is short for Michael. Neither is a slang for amateur radio. When you are talking about the item you talk into for your voice to go into a radio for broadcast over the air you are talking about a mic or microphone, not a Mike.

I agree very much that people need to proof read their ad before posting. I have seen over the years a lot of mistakes in spelling and proper use of words in a sentence. I get a kick out of someone saying that they have the "mike" for the radio. I would rather have the mic that came with it. Another...

Thanks for letting me know about the reviews but I have already read them. I made the post here because I have never seen a certain radio being sold that is so new by so many as the 590. It just seems to me that if a new on the market radio is being sold by a lot of hams after having it for such a s...

I have been thinking about getting a Kenwood TS-590 but now I have second thoughts about it. Looking thru the ads here I have been seeing a lot of 590's for sale. Some say less then a month old. So my question is why so many for sale with this radio still new on the market? Why are people getting ri...

I learned some time ago that when you ask if an item comes with something be sure you ask if its an item thats for that radio. I was interested in a radio that was listed here and asked the seller if he had the box for it. He e-mailed me back and said yes. I bought it and sure enough it came in a bo...

To me the sale of CB's on this site is not a problem. I think a problem are the people selling non amateur items like power tools, motor cycles, clocks, trucks, canoes and so on. Allowing that to be done here would make this great amateur web site take a turn dowmward.

Bought a power supply from Bob (W4BFG) and he packed it very good and shipped it on time. He kept me informed by e-mail as to what was going on.
I would deal with him again. Thanks Bob, it was good to deal with you.

I just completed a trade with Paul (W0UNZ) and it could not have gone better. Paul sent me a radio that was just as he said it was. We had good communications by e-mail and phone. He packed it very good. This is the second time I traded with him and I would deal with him again. Paul you are a true g...

I don't know about Martin's previous sale to you but the 746 I bought from him is clean, works great and does not smell of smoke. I looked him up on the feed back section here before I contacted him and he had some very good feed backs posted about him. The 746 I got from him must not be the one he ...

I bought an Icom 746 from Martin and it is just as he said it was. He shipped it on time and packed it very good. He is an honest person and communicates well by e-mail and phone. I would buy from him again with no worries.

I completed a trade with Dave (KE5OYT) and everything was great. We had good communication with e-mail and over the phone. He is a nice person and very honest. I would deal with him again with no worries.

I did a radio trade with Paul about a year ago and everything went great. He shipped on time, packed very well and kept good communications by e-mail and phone with me. I would trade again with him anytime.

I just completed a mic trade with WX1F, Gordon and everything went great.
He shipped on time, packed very good and sent me a tracking number. He also kept good communications with me by e-mail.
I would deal again with Gordon in the future he is a man of his word.

First off Carl W3BRX commited fraud with UPS. If you show UPS the e-mail he sent you saying it works fine when he got it back from you thats the proof they need to show he lied. Sceond, why should your friend who you gave the radio to pay for something Carl claims was free to you? W3BRX lied to you ...

What I get a kick out of is when they say it comes with a mike. Who is mike? I don't want a radio with some guy named mike boxed with it. I would rather have a mic.
