W4LJI Use Extreme Caution. Would not do business with

Post by K0RPL »

Called James in regards to his DG-5 Kenwood Display that he had. He also listed 4 6146B tubes with the display for 120.00 I really did not need the tubes however I would of taken them. I asked him three questions.

1: Is the Display in good condition His answer He was in Excellent Shape
2: What condition are the tubes in? His answer Great
3: Have the tubes ever been used. His answer. This is bullshit. Forget in and Hangs up on me.

On another call he tells me that he hung up on me because he doesn't like people asking him questions about the things that he sells MAJOR RED FLAG!!!


I don't think he needs any of our Business up here on QTH.COM

Sincerely,
Justin N9ZDA

After reading the N9ZDA eBay feedback, I hope that W4LJI has caller ID. It would seem that there might be enough folks that would pay for the phone number for n9zda that he can retire comfortably and keep the digital display!

Isn't there something about pots and kettles written somewhere??

The Ebay feedback is due to someone else using the account, as well as my paypal account. I have official documents from both entities stating that and will display them to anybody if they would like to see them.

Changed callsign ...

Post by KE3GK »

One can see why he changed his callsign ... You mean it only take 26% or 33 negative feedbacks to get booted from ebay ? imagine that ...

You mean that from July 1999 - September 2003 - someone else used your account and ripped people off - WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE ?

Seems a bit lax to let this happen for so long.

I would like to see your documents - posted here.

Huh? He said everything but the lights worked. You got it and the lights didn't work, just as he said, correct?

In the end you got a TS570D for $400 + $75.46. Sounds like you did pretty good?

I may be missing something.

Scott, I think you did miss something in as much as your reference to his comments, which omitted the words " No transmit or Receive." as can be seen in the following,

" Called James and he said everything but the lights Worked. Upon receipt, the menu would not bring up the lights. No transmit or Receive. Sent it hamrepair.com and Cal said that James evidently tried to do a mod and cut a reisistor in half, thinking it was a Diode and scratched the printed circuit. Board.

I didn't miss anything. W0AKG edited his posting to add "No Transmit or Receive". Check my original QUOTE of the message above, you will see that those words did not exist.

Certainly knowing that the rig didn't xmit or receive is important information.
