A fine trade with Bruce, K3BF

Felt it was imperative to take the time to detail an excellent transaction with Dr. Bruce Felder, K3BF. Had my Elecraft K3S setup listed for sale. Bruce contacted me and offered a trade for a like new Acom 2000a amplifier with all of the original packaging. Initially, I dismissed it as I already had a legal limit amplifier. However, the more I thought about, the more it made sense for me. I told him that i would like a few days to think about it and finally decided to do it. Man am I glad I did! Bruce shipped the amp on the first available day, it was well-packed, and arrived safely. Communication was beyond excellent. He took the time to offer advice with respect to setting it up which I gladly accepted. I finally got it going last night as I had been extremely busy over the past week. Bruce had told me that it had "very low hours" on it. Hmmmmmm, yeah, no kidding! Fired it up and saw 98 hours on the amp! Anyway, in short, I am beyond extremely happy with this transaction. Bruce is truly not only a great ham but a great guy and an absolute joy to deal with. Have no fear with K3BF!

I just completed a fantastic "world class" trade with maybe the nicest person I have ever dealt with.

Thomas Tillack traded me his LOADED Elecraft K3S + LOADED Elecraft P3 + his Elecraft K-POD for my "as new" 2014 build Acom 2000A with only 98 hrs on it. It was really the perfect transaction. We both shipped FedEx Ground on the same day and received our gear on the same day. Communication with Tom was beyond excellent. We texted a lot and I truly feel like I made a new friend. A long term one.

We are both delighted with our respective gear and the perfect packing we both did.

You should NEVER have any worries or concerns in dealing with this fine man.
