QTH.COM Swap Chat

I have a problem when someone has an ad that says "Mint, as when new". Mint as when new means when box was first opened and used for first time. To me it is not mint if it has been sitting on a desk and being used for some time. I then would call it excellent or perfect condition if it had no marks ...

I'm confused, what is this posting about?
KI6UP or Red Lobster or K4TEC?

Puppetmaster and W3IXN are the same person. He will never prove that he is the innocent one in the scams he does to others. When he is asked to show proof of what he said he did all he ever comes back with is name calling and slander.
This guy does not represent the amateur radio community.

OK lets look at this from a neutral point. 1- The buyer said he paid for the item. 2- The buyer said he never received the item. 3- You claimed you shipped it. 4- You were asked to provide shipper info and tracking number. 5- You came up with all kinds of reasons why buyer never received it. 6- You ...

He keeps saying I'm not posting or coming back here any more and he keeps posting here.
Oh crap, I laughed so hard I spilled my soda into my popcorn!

OK here I go again, Puppetmaster, W3IXN or what ever your calling yourself now I ask again, "Who did you use to ship it?" "What is the tracking number?" Gee can't answer that, then thats why we all say you are nothing more then one who cheats other ham operators and a lier. OK I got my popcorn and s...

Wow! How far is W3IXN going to go to try and cover up his scam? This is getting good I can't wait to see whats next!
By the way, he lied again. He told us that he would never come here again and now we see he is watching this posting.

Well if he's got a lawyer that has a brain in his head, he will ask W3IXN who shipped it and what was the tracking number. When the lawyer hears him say "I don't have one" the lawyer will tell him "you loose". Amateur radio people are a strong brotherhood that help other amateurs that are honest and...

To prove more of W3IXN being a scam artist he thinks that by not using QTH.com ever again makes him the one who got scammed. W3IXN posted: "I WILL TELL YOU ONE THING, I WILL NEVER EVER USE QTH FOR ANYTHING EVER AGAIN." And thats good because your kind is not welcome here. Ham radio operators are a b...

Well it is not difficult to see that W3IXN scammed the buyer. He could have shut up everybody that posted here by saying who he used to ship it and post the tracking number. So now I ask you W3IXN, Who is the shipper and what was the tracking number. Don't try and tell me to stay out of this, just a...

Yup Randy, this guy is a fraud and scam artist. He will list something and say "As new, perfect condition" and when you receive it it's broke or burnt up. What makes me laugh is that in your case a resistor is burnt and he says it mite have happened in shipment.

Curt your the one thats wrong in this case. You agreed to a sale. The seller sent you the money. Then you think you sold it for too low a price so you back out of the deal and relist it for a higher price. The confusion is in your head. You need to think before you say yes to people and not come up ...

Hey guy's, this is not rocket science. First question, does the box it came in look like it was damaged? Second question, how well was it packaged, was it secure in side the box or did it move around? Third question, was it insured? If not the US Postal Service will not do anything about it. The oth...

Ron,
Webster's dictionary defines the word "mint" when used as an adjective (and thats what it is when used to discribe condition) as "unused, perfect condition".
Your 101 was used so not mint. Yes the buyer was correct to call it pristine.

Ken I agree with you on how wrong some people rate the item they are selling. If an item is rated a 10 on a scale of 1 to 10 that means perfect. I have seen radios for sale and the ad said it was a 10 but had a few small marks on the back or bottom. That is not a 10, it is a 9 or 9.5 at best. When I...

I had to read your story twice because I thought I missed something. You said they sent you a new radio right? Then what's the problem? Yes I would be a upset about the radio going back a few times for the same problem but you are lucky they gave you a new radio. I know a lot of people who had the s...

Go to QRZ.com and enter his call. From his own bio he doesn't seem to be hurting for money. He is just another scam artist, don't deal with him until he pays his debt to K9XR.

John I agree with you. I come to QTH.com to see whats listed here and I don't need or want to know whats listed on other sites. I have never bought anything on scam bay and never will. If I was Scott I'd remove any ad that says go to scam bay and buy my stuff. I wonder if anyone has said on scam bay...

Larry, If I ask Neil Armstrong about a defective rotor he sold and he starts off with who he is and what he did, whats that got to do with my question? If I ask you about a defective rotor you sold and you start bragging about who you are and what you fly, whats that got to do with my question? Agai...

Dennis, Just because of your health status and 52 years in amateur radio and being in law enforcement and 2 way radio sales & service and having a security company makes what ever you do all right! I know that whenever someone starts bragging first as to what they are and have done means they lied a...

You don't believe this Hastings idiot do you? How can you have your amateur license taken away because of what you post here? That guy has to come up with better scare tactics then that! Ask him what are the calls of the amateur friends that saw him open the box. Hastings is full of it and he proved...

Because I say "Postal Money Order Only" I'm selling something defective or not working! You think I'm cheating someone because I ask for that and not PayPal! Hear this "GO BACK TO E-BAY WHERE YOU BELONG."

Thats not the way it is with internet fraud. The law knows that internet fraud happens in some cases many miles apart. If you have all the e-mails he sent you and the listing he had posted and the item he sent you, then you can file an internet fraud claim.

I don't know about you but I could not afford the $1,900 loss. If it was me I would be contacting the police in his town and reporting it as internet fraud. He said one thing and you received another.

Brandon,
You can say all you like about how you feel inside but the fact still remains that you owe a lot of money to a lot of people.
