..I couild barely detect fingerprints on the factory Icom box. It was everything he said it was. I willingly paid his asking price, and he picked up the shipping to Washington state. I am one of those who generally believe 'You get what you pay for'. The clincher last sentence in an email from him; "If you arent satisfied, just send it back for refund". George, when you read this I have news for you... You're NOT getting it back
I am thoroughly 110% satisfied with my purchase. I very recently bought a 'as new' (It was!) Icom 725. I have a 'couple' other Icom rigs and a new Icom SM-8 mic also purchased through QTH. Beings the 725 doesnt have a speech or mic compressor, the SM-10 should fill in the gap on the receiving end.
When the add appeared, I immediately emailed WB5XX and he responded immediately, and follow-ups were successfull; always answered questions about the item he was selling. That I believe is how a seller should be.
He had a good product to sell; I was in the market for the same item.
If you get the opportunity to do business with this man, he will not disappoint you. I have no reason to believe he will do you any different that he did me.
It was a pleasant experience.
Thanking George in advance (I still have to email him to inform that the mic did arrive today, the 14th of October),
Thomas, in Washington state.
