Paid for by check which cleared Oct 19. Supposed to ship against my Fedex account. No joy. Unable to reach him at phone number. He has not responded to my latest inquiries. Ad still running - beware!

He no longer answers ad inquiries either. ..because I answered his ad and offered him a trade/cash deal but got no answer. Maybe he is very ill? Or dead? Did you contact his local PD?

N8WNE says "colleague was assigned to send it"

Post by rodmack »

After multiple emails, faxes and phone messages, N8WNE claims that he was out of town and somebody else was going to send it. Still no waybill number or package as promised in his response. He is aware of my concern.

That is a answer that would have me concerned.He had time to cash your CK but not send your item?Also if he had to leave before the CK cleared would he not have at least notified you that there was a possible delay,but then of course he would have been taking a chance you would have stopped payment. Hope it all turns out for the best....

30 days and still no joy.

Claims Colleague did not ship as promised and he would take care of it last week. No indication that it has been done as promised. I remain skeptical.

It arrived 30 days later inop

Post by rodmack »

Finally arrived. It is in nice shape and passes start up test as described but unit not functional.due to local oscillator problems. Could have been due to shipping so off to repair.

I consider my transaction with the seller complete.
