Andy has refunded my payment and the package is yet in the mail again. Thanks Andy, I will keep an eye out for it and when it arrives I will gladly sent the payment to you.

June 23rd received the following email: "I was going through packaging on my bench this morning and found your envelope. I am so sorry it got missed in the stuff going out. It will be on it's way Monday first thing. Post office is closed in my little town today." Still nothing, no tracking number or...

Why not tell us here?

I would ask him to send you the pictures of before and after the packing as well as showing the amp being tested on each band.

No phone or email access? Has he not heard of internet cafe's?

Sounds like he is covering his own behind with no respect for the buyer.

On June 1 I placed an ad looking for a cord relief for a D104, and promptly received a reply from Andy. I fired off payment through PayPal, Andy confirmed receipt and advised parts would be in the mail the following Monday. To date nothing has been received, and emails to Andy remain unanswered. Won...

Funniest post in a long time.

Thanks for the chuckle.

I'm not sure why either. Shipping a piece of gear to Canada is no different than shipping in the US, except they have to declare the value for customs. This is for the recipient, so the government can collect the taxes and duties when it arrives in Canada. Too bad, there is a much larger offering of...

Did you ask about the physical condition? Did you ask for a photo? While he doesn't state it is in rough shape, he doesn't state it is mint. You should have asked the questions.

Quieting down???? One ham posts a complaint against another ham for a deal gone bad. Said ham responds and before you know it ten others have jumped in and the name calling begins. And most of the time the thread go so far off topic, everyone is just too damn busy insulting the other ham. I thought ...

Somebody should write Jerry Springer and suggest this for an upcoming show. "Are you a ham radio operator who has been ripped off by another ham radio operator? If so, and are going to be in the Los Angeles area, we'd like to hear from you." No wonder this "hobby" is going to hell in a hand basket! ...

Never ever have anything shipped into Canada by UPS. The brokerage fees are horrendous. And add to that the Canadian taxes (HST 13% now in Ontario), totally absurd. I have everything shipped by the USPS, from those of you nice enough to still ship to Canada.

PSS...If you are from Canada, don't tell w8jn, he'll throw insults at you faster than Roger Clemens.

Sleep tight Paul!

Their command of the English language, or lack of it, should be a dead giveaway.

Another common one "must sale"

Is this ham radio or sailing?

Here's my rant...posters who list the same ad in 4,5 or 6 different categories, regardless of the item they are selling. The categories are there for a reason. Let's assume I am looking for a power supply, I go to the power supply folder. I don't want to see ads for tubes, microphones etc. It is for...

The question is simple...Did you send everything that was shown in the photos? If the answer is yes, I see no case for argument. If the answer is no, then I would say the buyer has a valid gripe.

Why do people list equipment for sale on this site when they have it listed on eBay as well.

One or the other!

Paul,

Forget to take your medication today? Serious issues man. I'm done. Not sure what firearms have to do with it, but just seemed so typical.

Hey Paul,

Do I call you a redneck or a hillbilly? I'd ask you to show a bit of courtesy, but looking at some of your posts, I don't think that word is in your vocabulary.

BTW, it's Canadian.

I purchased new trap covers for my A3S from Alan, and they arrived well packed and fast. Alan had no hesitation in shipping to Canada either.

Thank you Alan, it was a pleasure doing business with you.

I had him ship his radio first and then I shipped mine as I had mine listed on ebay and had to be held accountable where as he did not. Sounds like you had it listed on eBay to me. Gosh Kurt...sounds like you are getting a little defensive.Read your own quote from your first reply. Sounds to me lik...

I'm curious as well why the radio was listed on eBay at the same time. And to all the hams who "purchased" gear from Kurt, lets hear your side of the story. At this point it all sounds a little one sided.

If I received a reply worded like that, scam or no scam, it's in the SPAM folder. But for the record, that one reeks of scam.

It amazes me that they keep trying this scam. Hope nobody falls for it. You be surprised by the number of people that still do. But if they are stupid enough to fall for it, serves them right! I responded to one just for a joke and next thing I know they want to come visit me, arrange for VISA's fo...
