Nipon,
Sorry to hear you are having problems with this seller. You did the right thing by posting since Radio- Mart does advertise on this site, and it's too late to file a claim on E-Bay. There are many honest hams on this forum that ,I'm sure would like things to work out in your favor.73,

Peter

I too have dealt with Martyn..as a seller. He paid promptly and offered positive feedback for the goods received. I can also believe that out of the thousands of people he has dealt with there were a few unhappy souls . Some for good reason no doubt.
From what I have read here I would much rather deal with Martyn than some of the people he has dealt with. :wink:
OK, So where are the filters now ?

I have had several transactions with Martyn. He gives out his telephone number freely. Always took my calls. All transactions with him inside and outside of Ebay were quite smooth and without incident. Pleasant to converse with as well. I understand that others have a different opinion. Probably time to close this thread.

Take care all.

Looks like the lynch mob with fire and pitch forks are convening. Just one problem. How do we know the guy didn't really send Martyn a box of rocks?

Won't be an advertiser long, if there is evidence of fraud. But, where's the evidence? I've not even seen any evidence this KD6 guy owned an IC-7600, much less shipped one. Just looking for the other side.

and I believe we may never know... after getting deep in I realized my fatal flaw - I didn't check ebay's vast database of historical transactions and listings. no 7600 was ever sold during the time frame he described, nor at the price described.

I believe we were "had"

I cannot speak to Martyn's extremely colorful and checkered past, but anything like this ball of hair muddies the waters quite a bit...

Well it appears QRZ has deleted the thread as a Hoax.

Thanks I have that but what I am looking for is the original unedited thread where he had posted copies of the state police emails and records and his as well as other posters comments.
From what little I managed to see it was people telling him to be very careful posting what he did and to make certain his facts were correct, the letters from the state police clearly showed who they considered guilty.
I have asked QRZ.com for copies and the administrators there but everything is taken care off :)
I do not intend to post further at this time

What's interesting is that many of those who posted on QRZ indicated that they could find no evidence of an auction for a 7600 on ebay, no evidence that the person sold a 7600 and no evidence that Martyn bought one (at least not on ebay).

Now Martyn shows up with a pic of a safe in a box.... hmmmmm

What is strange is there is no record of any 7600 ever being sold on ebay during the time in question. A "completed listings" search reveals no IC-7600 ever being sold for 2800 bucks, period.

Ebay would not remove such a listing unless it was through legal action, I believe or that it never existed.

Wow Marty,

I get blasted because I said this was an interesting scenario you have going here... Are we getting closer to the truth??

Just as an aside, can you provide a link to the auction??

NJ1K, it is hard to see what context you responded but I will try to make one thing clear, Umm how did I blast you?

However your statement "Are we getting closer to the truth??"

I have to respond to who is We? and maybe you would like to explain "Are we getting closer to the truth"?

perhaps you should call the Kentucky state police here in Frankfort and ask for the trooper in charge of the case if you would like to know any other information as I am shure he will be more than interested in what you have to say as would I.

I am pleased this person has been exposed for his despicable action of sending a dead weight out instead of a radio which is why the state police are involved.

It is my personal opinion that had he not messed with me then another innocent person may have not known what to do?

As this is an ongoing criminal case I really have said way more than I should as it is.

Just checked, the auction is still showing but do not see why it should be discussed further except between my State police, my county attorney, eBay high risk management team, PayPal, myself and the other party involved, his county attorney and police.

If it is still showing, would you be willing to supply a link?

It is not on ebay's completed listings search. The only one visible is an unsold IC-7600 for $3,229.00 on Sep-04 12:03.

There is no record anywhere in any search engine for any 7600 sold by kd6sbr-tom.

Then maybe eBay trust and safety have it hidden from general view but I can bring it up on my browser
I would call eBay and ask them?
there are no questions from seller, the description is simple and I will copy it for you here.





Item specifics






Condition:


Used: An item that has been used previously. The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear, but is fully ... Read moreabout the condition














Like new condition, Icom IC-7600 HF/ 6M ,

Very little use ( purchased about 5 months ago and still in use, I am the second owner ) getting out of amateur radio, and need the cash, I will miss this rig. The display is fantastic, I thought the IC-756PRO was good, but this rig puts it to shame. TRUE DUAL RECEIVE!, Like having two radios for the price of one. Everything works as it should. SEE MY PICS, These are EXTREME CLOSEUPS, you may see some dusts on the screen, like I stated, this rig is still in use till I sell it, 73's.
You can go to Icom's site for full specs if needed, but I will also post here.
SELLS NEW FOR AROUND $3,600.00 (aes), purchased at local swap meet for $3,100.00, I know I can't sell for what I paid ( 2nd owner) so am willing to start the bidding at $2,500.00 WITH NO RESERVE! and A "BUY-IT-NOW" Price of $2800.00 + SHIPPING ($65.00 UPS GROUND)

***PRICE "DOES NOT" INCLUDE A FLAT RATE SHIPPING PRICE OF $65.00 ANYWHERE IN THE LOWER 48

PAYMENT DUE AT END OF AUCTION, NO EXCEPTIONS.
Contact me for any other details if you need to.
(SORRY, BUT I hate people who don't pay, aka "Chantruse")


*****ALSO WILLING TO SHIP WORLDWIDE, OF COURSE SHIPPING WILL BE EXTRA AFTER YOU CONTACT ME WITH DETAILS.
Thanks for reading my ad, Tom.

Here are the specs, for anyone who is not familiar with this rig:

I also offer a full warranty if not satisfied ( I think you will be very happy with this rig.)

when did the auction end? do you have the ID # available? Usually even if something is pulled, I find it odd it's not in a search engine listing...
