Be carfull with this guy I had a listing on QTH for a non-working amplifier. He asked if it was available (as with a at least 12 others or more who responded) I told him it was and that I took paypal. There were at least 6 in front of him. I sold it to a guy just prior to him. He gives me an attitude like I sold it out from under him, which is not the case. He told be he was going to give me a bad review here. This type o HAM should not be a HAM acting like this. Below is the email trail.

Thank you for wasting my time.
You have all the morals of an alleycat.
I am an HONEST ham, not dishonest like you.

No problem, Nick. I fully understand and agree. Yes, I can do PayPal Friends & Family. Once you acquire the total shipping & I'll send you payment. Please take your time when packing the unit. Seems like many of these shippers can be a bit heavy handed at times.
BTW- You have a great QRZ page. I fully agree with all of your sentiments.

Sorry, just got back, me and my wife were out to dinner. Yes, I have the original box and as far as I can tell, its a final issue. I take paypal or Zelle but with PP I would need it to be via F&F. The GOV got me good this year and I don’t run a business, its a hobby and everything I purchased and sold they want a piece of. many things I don’t make money on, its just a hobby for me trying out other equipment. Let me know if your still interested.
