Hi Ronnie,

I have for sale the Hy-Gain AV-640 antenna in excellent shape and condition. Asking $220 shipped.

Currently I prefer payment via Western union or Money gram as there is an outlet closer to the UPS office here. I can confirm payment and ship immediately as well. Let me know and also email me your complete shipping address.

Not trying to sound disresectful of overseas buyers or sellers but in my experiance to be safe just stay away from them on forums as I see nothing but bad news, that is my policy here.

I did get scammed by this gentleman to the tune of $492 on a radio that apparently is in pictures only. I am currently in contact with Ireland radio club and all information passed along to the real EI8FC. Hopefully he can get some resultson his end to at least halt the usage of his identity. Even the website for shipping is a total fabrication apparently. AA8PP Bob

Just passing along that uk-delivery.com is a fake shipping company complete with tracking number following, etc. You may want to look at it just to see how clever these scammers really are. 73 Bob

Thanks Bob! That is very helpful.

Tge several offers from the UK I have had have involved several fake companies, courriers or shippers.
In the UK there is only one company they would use and that would be Parcel force or the post office (both the same) but Parcel force handles larger packages.
Like I mentioned above I dont think it is worth the risk
