Ouch !

Did this happen through ebay ? If so you should have seller protection ?

Scott: I find it interesting how you just can't seem to understand how your readers might get the impression of your bias towards K4TEC / Radio-mart. 1) Almost every time in recent memory someone has posted something negative about "radio-mart" it is removed, very quickly I might add. 2) R4RT. This ...

Scott: As far as I can tell, K4TEC / Radio-Mart does not even sell through your site at all ? I am under the impression that he sells direct through his web site. So what is the point in all this ? Honestly, it seems to me that every single time someone has complained to you about radio-mart you hav...

I'm so disappointed that anyone could think that I'd let a dishonest ham do business in our classifieds, just because they buy some banner ads or whatever. Really, you guys actually think that could happen? Really? Have some common sense! Why would I risk the integrity of this site, over a few buck...

Scott:

No, I am not still "stirred up" about ebay, I am talking about YOUR site.

The whole Alex / R4RT thing smelled pretty bad to me ( and still does ) . You guys selectively enforce your rules when it comes to radio-mart, it is painfully obvious how posts vanish over and over again.

As a matter of fact I do like this forum. What I do not like is radio-mart / K4TEC / Ilove2cell, or whatever he is calling himself this week blatantly ( IMHO ) ripping off fellow hams and continually getting away with it. Example : Just recently "radio-mart" revised his ebay "me" page to say he has ...

Quote from above post : As to why K4TEC is allowed to use QTH.com... it's because I do not have a "case" against him. People are innocent until proven guilty, and other than old eBay transactions, a bunch of he-said she-said stories from years ago, etc., there is no strong evidence that QTH.com User...

Scott :

Thanks for your reply.

It seems to me it might be better to have one forum for individual private sellers and another for companies ?

Oh no, I am off topic.........sorry.

Scott: It also looks ( to me ) that the rules are "selectively enforced" . in regards to K4TEC. Example. Alex / R4RT's post suddenly vanished, although he swore he did not remove it. When people complained, it re appeared ! Why ? I sent you a PM about this but never received a reply from you. ( why ...

K4ICL :

I agree with K0pd 100% .

I find it rather odd that whenever someone says something negative about K4TEC / Radio-mart it seems to vanish rather quickly and then 3-4 posts appear with nothing but praise.

Not much doubt in my mind what is going on here.

I too had a great transaction with Bill a few months ago. Great guy and a man of his word.

It's nice to see some people in this world still have a little common sense.

According to the sticky on this forum about deleting posts it can only be deleted at the request of the Original Poster. So R4RT must have asked for it to be deleted. Gentlemen ! I do not delete! Who and how to remove it, I do not know. I think that someone "really hurts your eyes" Well gee, the pl...

It's surprising how many people just can't seem to figure this one out .....

That's my 3 cents ( I just outbid you ) !

Since there are MANY pages of Feedback listings, if you are looking to see if someone is listed here already, use the SEARCH feature to search for a particular callsign and/or name. Use the person's CALLSIGN, in CAPITALS, as the first word in the Subject. This makes viewing the list of callsigns in...

Quote from K4TEC ( the infamous "radio-mart" ) ( above post ) It is people like him who really do spoil the wonderful hobby of Ham Radio, I know if I was thinking of getting in to ham radio and saw comments that he makes and the way he conducts himself I would not be interested at all in getting in ...

Wow - can't believe what I am reading! Member's complaining about being outbid? I have won a bunch of stuff - all at a good price. Yes, I snipe - why not? It is all about getting something at a good (in your opinion) price. Gosh, there is simply no way to "overpay" for something (or anything) on EB...

I agree with the above post but let me ask you a question publicly ...Is this rule going to apply to ALL posts in the "feedback" section or just to "radio-mart" posts ?

That's another good idea. Also, you can go to "distance" ( halfway down the right side of the page on the left side ) and choose within 25 - 50 miles of your zip code and search the whole amateur radio category to see what is available near you. If you see something you like you can always send the ...

Amen .

Last night I lost out on a rig that I was willing to pay a respectable price for & lost the auction by $5 at the literal last moment. So I decided to check here & found another rig for even less, but I have not heard back from the seller yet. It is sooooo much less stressful to shop here. :D Like I...

According to Radio-Mart it is always someone else to blame. He won't even communicate with the buyer and now he blames Kenwood for the high repair costs. He is some piece of work and it is time as responsible amateurs to make sure no one else is ever scammed again. Yes he didn't do this to me but t...

What is wrong with "sniping" ? Everyone knows the ONLY way to get a deal on epay is to bid your maximum within the last few seconds of a auction ( and deny others to outbid you because there is no time left ) . Only emotional bidders bid throughout the course of a auction.

You will also note the same three things that happen every time:

Sentence # 1 , Blame the buyer.

Sentence # 2, Deny any fault whatsoever.

Sentence # 3, Change the subject.

Of course it was working perfect ! Don't worry, we all believe you ...Obviously just another stupid ham from overseas that does not know what he was doing. Those Russian hams !
