I got ripped because of this feedback
I hope you are not in bed with this thief.
Hams are a good bunch and should not be preyed upon.

Dear Scott:
The ad the positive feedback refers to is not accessible by searching current ads. Therefore, there is no method of cross-checking the positive feedback. In fact, there are at least two hams who have unfortunately relied on this "positive feedback" and have been apparently scammed by WX5ATX (or someone purporting to be WX5ATX). Since WX5ATX is not answering his cell phone, his landline phone, mailed letters, nor e-mails to the eight different e-mail addresses he has used over the past few years, the obvious and reasonable inference would be that they were scammed.
I believe there have been a few private e-mails to you Scott re: this subject transaction.

The right thing?
I received one complaint on 11/24. Up until today, there have been no other complaints about this seller. I live in an America where you are innocent until proven guilty.
The right thing to do is to contact the person in question, and ask them for THEIR side of the story. Which I did soon after receiving the complaint, and have been waiting for a response.
I also happen to have a real life and family obligations, and have been away on a Thanksgiving trip with my family. Is that allowed?
I attempted to reach him, but I have not received a reply yet. Maybe he's away on a Thanksgiving trip too?
At this point, since I haven't heard back, and now (as of today) there is a second buyer with a problem, I will err on the side of safety and remove WX5ATX's ads and posting priviledges, until this is sorted out.
Sorry you feel that I am not doing a good enough job.

The long and short of it all
The long and short of it all: the positive feedback provided by N0ISV for the seller WX5ATX is dated over a year ago. Hams currently deciding whether to buy from WX5ATX should take caution and read the more current feedback from two other hams that have serious issues with WX5ATX on recent buys.
As for your job, my comments were not directed at your "job" performance. I have no basis for analysis other than a few short posts of yours I have read, which seem forthright and earnestly in good faith and fashion. In fact, as an IT professional, I am even considering moving some clients of mine to hosting plans with QTH. If I thought you weren't doing a good job, I wouldn't risk my professional reputation like that. My clients are my gold. I cherish them, in other words.

Selective reading on your part Sir, as well as a selective quote. Please read my exact post.KA9FOX wrote:In October 2007, WX5ATX indeed did have an ad on QTH.com for an FT-100. To question N0ISV's posting and character (being in bed with WX5ATX), just for posting feedback a year ago, without any facts, is really disappointing.

I also updated my other posting with good news for all involved.
