Just placed an ad and the first response was from a "ham" using calls of LY1MA and KA9RA, both of which appear to be non-existant according to QRZ.
If someone doesn't have a legitimate callsign, I won't deal with them.

Some of my ex-Navy friends tell me it's a MILLION DOLLAR call. I offered it to them for 1/2 price ....ab7r wrote:Love that call, N9AVY!

COULD BE A MISTAKE?????
I have had this happen numerous times, most of the time they don't check before sending the emails. On the FCC site there are 12 calls that start out KA9RA. You might want to check them out and see if that will help you ID the one with the US call.

By the time I figure out that the email "ka9ra" was actually the guy's initials backwards or as he would be listed in phone book, the antenna was sold.
It really helps if one uses a currently listed call and not an expired one or something that looks like a real call, but isn't.
The guy may be legit ...
