After 16 days of waiting I finally received an envelope from an address in Grand Junction Colorado. The envelope contained a cashier check for $2150. I was asking $1000 + shipping for my FTDX-3000d. Seems Vaughn Cassell if that is his real name changed his name to "Bruce Climax". His response to me was " Sorry for the late respond. I want you to know that the over pay funds was a mistake, which was mistakenly during my time at te hospital .However i want you to deposit the check after it clear after 1-2 working days, the you are to deduct your part part and extra $120$ for shipping". I responded to him, "I thought your name was Vaughn and you changed it to Bruce Climax? I changed my mind about selling this radio to you, unless you can use Venmo or PayPal and pay the 3% fee for $1000 + $100 for shipping which works out to $1133 total. Should I return or just destroy the check?"
