QTH.COM Swap Chat

Money talks and BS walks. I dont consider anything sold until im payed.

Im always seeing Kenwood TL 922 HF amps sell for $1200.00 and the amp is over 20 yers old!!!!!! I never could understand WHY this particular amp sells for so much more than other dual 3-500Z amps....

Maybe he didnt get any the night before? LOLOL!

He lives less than 200 miles from me. No shipper is that slow! I have a requested a full refund. No response yet. We'll see what excuse he has now. His name and adress: Dan Couture 163 First St Stoystown, PA 15563 Last Known phone number 814 270 2566 My call:WB8HWF. I think if he lived less than 20...

The seller seems to have a guilty conscience about NOT posting tracking numbers The whole deal sounds like a fraud.. I hope the buyer gets his money back OR his radio. Whenever i sell something on QTH i ALWAYS provide tracking numbers and I PREFER to use Paypal but a postal money order is accepted.....

I recently bought a Tempo One HF station complete with the RARE VF one VFO and an equally rare Tempo desk mic plus a "parts rig" Tempo One. The deal went very well, in fact i actually drove down to get the rigs and met N0DNR himself. Later on, i found out that the "parts rig" actually worked as well...

I dont want to deal with the customs so thats why i only sell CONUS.
If someone is in Ak or Hi id ship to them as long as they are footing the shipping bill.

He sold me a Yaesu FT 411 HT and i got it today. It works great and he shipped it quickly!

I want you to believe that I am religious and thus trustworthy.

Yeah thats a farce! When the deal goes bad the guy sends you a profanity laced email calling you every name in the book! ive been there done that.

Or put up a totaly out of this world price and refuse to take offers. I see this on Ebay all the time. There is a Drake TR7/PS7 on Ebay for $1200.00 and the seller wont accept any offer for less money. He even says it is untested sold as is.

[quote="W4KVW"]What is REALLY FUNNY is the emails I get back when I tell them the CORRECT spelling of YAESU & tell them there is NO SUCH thing as a YEASU or a YASUE. They have the rig & box pictured in the ad & the word YAESU plastered all over them & they still spell it YEASU or YASUE. Some of them...

Whenever I see an add that has a bunch of spelling errors and bad punctuation, I pretty much assume the seller is a moron and move on. The poor sap probably has junk gear to sell along with his/her bad use of the English language. What i find really funny is most of, if not all of the bad spelling a...

I like the ones that say "balium" or "baleen" or even "balton" instead of balun. hahaha!

This individual recently posted an ad on QTH for an Ameritron AL-80B. I responded to it by asking a few questions relative to age, condition, and usage prior to making a decision toward purchase. What I got back was an indignant, rude, and irrational response that displayed a great deal of animosit...

Hey Eric, Let's you and I go out for dinner. I'll buy! Let's say Friday night at 9:00pm we can sit and enjoy a nice meal together at a local steakhouse. Keep in mind, if I find something better to do instead, I won't be there and of course, I won't call to let you know either. See you there... or n...

Dennis is a nice guy to deal with!!!!

Well maybe he had other more important things come up and he couldnt pay you. Did u think about that? I have had buyers back out on me but i just move on and i dont worry about it. I dont hold anything to anyone until i see the money in the bank or cold cash in hand.

I dont consider anything "sold" until the funds are in the bank.

WHAAAAA! Booo Hooo! Suck it up and act like a man crybaby!

Sure, i can do CW i have various bugs, keyers, and straight keys. But i can do pretty much anything and any mode.
I do CW only on 80 and 40 meters though, and i like to hang around the FISTS freqs.

I bought some radio gear from him and it came here in A -OK condition!
USPS did, however, damage one of the boxes, but the items came here in good shape.

I dont think we should go back to 1959 standards but i think we need to look into a moratorum to stop issuing new ham tickets. Or even a stop to new hams altogether until the FCC and the ARRL do something to improve things. I came from CB and i did it for years before i became a ham. I could've gott...

Hey Eric what do you mean close it down? It's called a Swap Chat , and also i'm a 20wpm extra and have not used code in yrs. But when i did use code it was more challenging and always polite exchanges with no problem having some one slow down if need be. But if you want this to end just stop commen...

What about the older hams on 75 meters that hold Advanced and the holy of holy 20 WPM Extra tickets? I have listened into several QSOs that sounded worse than the trype on 11 meters and some of them have been hams for YEARS! So dont lump the no coders and the slow coders into one category. p.s. most...

is the code no code what ham radio has degraded into????
yes im a "slow code general" and yes i USE CW but i also stick up for the new hams and the no coders.
I think this post has gotten to the point of no return and needs to be closed and locked down for good!
