I sent Steven Smith (KB1IST) a Money Order for $375.00 for a Icom IC 751 radio and shipping to me..
UPS delivered the radio to me on on Feb 8. It was well packed in 2 boxes and showed no signs of
damage... That afternoon I connected the radio up and found that the LSB on receive was distored badly
on 40 and 80 meters. USB received ok on 20 meters.That as far as I went in checking it out.
That same afternoon I sent Steven A Email and
told him that the radio had the problem.. His reply was that the radio was working ok when he shipped it..
He told me to ship it back. His email sounded like I had broke it.. I have had many
Icom IC 751 and 751A in the years that I have been a Ham ( Over 30 years) and know how they are too
be operated. I ask for him to send me a money order for the refund and a would send him the radio back..
He said that he would not send me the money until I sent him the radio . I told him that I had done that
with KC5VCR.
((( Go to QTH Feedbacks and look at the feedback on that deal. It was a year and haft ago and I
never have got any money from that scammer)))
and I was not going to get ripped off again.. I had sent him (KB1IST)
the money before I had got the radio from him and he should send me the money first like I
had done for him...His reply was like I am big on Ebay and thats the only way that I will work it out.....
I guess I will be force by his action to keep the broken radio because I will not take
the chance of losing again.. It seems to me that if I had to pay to get it first then he should have to
pay first also..
I have a good rating on all my deals for the last 30 years. I Have been running on the air
Traders Nets for over 20 years (( 3.865, 3.898, and 3.938 MHZ and a lot of you guys have done sales
and trades with me...I think this guy is trying to scam me.
I see on Ebay that He likes to bid but don't like to pay.. Check out his feedbacks on Ebay..
also I see that he ((KB1IST)) is no longer a Registered user??????
To be safe DON'T DO A DEAL WITH HIM....
I don't think that Steven Smith (KB1IST) should be selling on QTH..How do you feel????????
Please excuse any misspelled words.. It is hard to type when you are upset...
