DO NOT BUY FROM K9DZD!
I paid for a Astron 35 Power Supply on July 21 and that was the last I heard from K9DZD! I lucked out as I used PayPal and will get my money back on this RIP OFF! I forgot to check feedback on QTH this time and if I would have checked I never would has paid for this deal!

Will using the Feedback Forum guarantee you from being scammed? Not always but it is a very useful tool. Would it have worked for this deal? You decide. The bottom line is do your home work before making your deal to buy/sell. Use the feedback forum, check the other sites, google the call and use the Safe Trading Tips page on this site.

A more effective post would be to edit your post and add in the subject line
Bad dealings or he is a crook something along those lines..
I do not like PayPal but since I used PayPal they took the money from his account and returned it to me! K9DZD is a FIRST CLASS CROOK in my book and tell every one to stay away from him!
I can't believe anyone would even consider doing business with this guy after reading his record on here. I can't believe Scott still lets him offer to sell on here.
If you guys would do a little research on the person you could save yourself a lot of displeasure. I did sell Monte a radio once and he was Johnny on the spot to get me paid. But, when bought from him it took a month to receive it so I vowed to not do business with him and try to warn others. Obviously people don't research before spending their hard earned money!! Some people never ever learn!!
Glad at least you got your money back. I got ripped off by KJ4TOF and haven't seen my money yet. This low life loser committed mail fraud, internet fraud. Posing as a tech with little to no experience, asked bunches of questions and once I got his bogus payment, he changed completely into a scammer.
From now on, I use Pay Pal. It isn't the best, but KJ4TOF used a fake or counterfeit bank cashier's check and it bounced. Now me and another individual are affected by it. I just hope no one deals with KJ4TOF in any future dealings, buying or selling. I honestly think this guy has serious mental problems when you read the PM's off QRZ.
Glad to hear you did get your money back. That is a really good outcome.
