Donald Waldrep, formerly KB0XA, has changed his call to W9FBI (how ironic), probably due to ripping too many people off. Watch out for W9FBI folks.

Hello, When some of us griped about Radio-Mart's questionable selling practices, there was always another good dozen or so folks who'd get on and say things to the effect of

'I've purchased from Radio-Mart before and let me tell you he's a real straight-up guy. Best deal I ever got. I'd trust him with my wife. So I don't know what's wrong with the rest of you.'

Well, here you go. I have purchased several times from Don Waldrep. He has an Ebay store and has had one for some time now. Good experiences all. He seems like an intelligent man who takes a lot of pride in his work.

Thank you for your input Larry. Since you aren't listed in the FCC ULS, and this isn't ebay, it really isn't appropriate that you post in this thread. If you had a transaction with him on QTH, you could start your own positive thread.

Two points I have made are:

a) This thread is for informational purposes only, and your results may vary.
b) If he decided to man-up and make this deal right, I would clear him and post appropriate retractions, which hasn't happened.

One of the reasons I posted this was to illustrate his behavior when confronted about an item that was misrepresented or otherwise unsatisfactory. He lashed out at me with name-calling and threats, as he did with others, both here and on QRZ... but since you think ebay is a good thing (and it's not), read some of his negative feedback and see how he treated those people.

Since you don't have a call, your anonymous posting makes me suspicious as to your motivation for posting here in a ham forum... perhaps you're him, or his brother.... who knows.

Interestingly, further investigation has revealed this blog you posted to in '08:

which says (and I'm quoting):

I think I could easily make a argument that none of us ever needed a Federal Highway System. For example, I have no big desire to drive, without stop, to Sedalia Missouri. But of.......’

Coincidence you would happen to mention the EXACT town W9FBI lives in??? I think not.

Go away now, and tell KB0XA / W9FBI that I said hello.

This is for hams buying ham gear and this is how my deal went with this guy. That's all.

But thanks for moving the thread to the top of the list again for me!

I had no problem with Don until out of the sky blue he attacked me over something he had absolutely no knowledge of. I in fact had defended him once. I sent him a private message asking him why he was lying about me and never received a answer. I've never bought from him and doubtful if i ever will until he at least explains why he attacked me or apologizes in which i doubt will happen. But glad your experiences have been good and i know you can not please every one.

Grown men acting like children.
Sounds just like what I hear on the 80 meter band.

Its all BS as nobody has any legal grounds to do anything.
The radio should have been returned for the refund when it was offered.

Play nice children.

I have to agree. I purchased a MFJ-949E Versa Tuner II but wasn't told the Dummy Load didn't work, LDG Electronics AT-11MP Automatic Tuner and wasn't told (on occasion) it wouldn't tune properly and the built in SWR meter was way off, a Heathkit Electronic Keyer Model HD-1410 and wasn't told that it looked like it sat in a barn for 10 years yet the picture made it look clean.

All the listings stated "it" was a good condition. Like you said Buying used radio equipment is a risk.

but yet you keep posting?

As someone else said in a different thread here, you should quit hijacking threads and put some energy into finding something constructive to do with the abundance of time on your hands.

Nobody cares what you get or don't get. If you don't like it, go away. It must really suck to be you.

what am I whining about Danny? That I got burned by someone? Come on you would do the same.

The problem I'm having is you and others are complaining about what is going on in MY thread... yet you keep coming here and contributing garbage to it.

If you don't like what is being said here... don't read it. It is really just THAT simple.

If you don't want emails when someone posts to this thread, remove the checkmark from the box that says to notify you when someone posts here.

All the whining I see is from a bunch of keyboard warriors... get a grip folks. It's only a hobby.

No, you are whining that you are getting feedback to your complaint.

Gee, imagine... getting feedback on a Feedback Forum. Who'd've thought?
