Have not bought anything on QTH since 2002 except two items of late. First item was never shipped. Second deal was deceptive.
Angle camera shot showing mostly the top & part of front hid two ugly scratches behind the tuning knob. The picture was dim and slightly out of focus. Additional pictures I requested conveniently did not have a front panel shot. I stated look like a clean item with no comment from the seller. Seller stated tested receive and briefly keyed up- no smoke. Seller stated did not want to key up beyond briefly due to the old power supply original caps. The receiver did not work at all. I paid a good price for the item as a working & cosmetically clean radio. This radio is not worth $100. The seller was deceptive. I placed a PayPal claim. How many less than honest hams are out there now?

Re: 2nd Deceptive Deal on QTH
Update- Filed claim with Paypal. It has been two days since the seller received return of item. So far seller has refused to acknowledge receipt of item with PayPal. I sent an email to seller to contact PayPal. If they refuse, I will post item, sellers name, call sign and details of the item listed on QTH.

I was fortunate. After a prompt from myself, the seller agreed to contact PayPal that the item was returned. PayPal will credit my account in 5 days.
