On January 10, 2009, I answered an AD place by Jim Igoe in which he was interested in trading a Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop for amateur equipment. We discussed a trade of two of my dual band radios for the laptop. He said he had recently moved from his FCC listed address at HC1,Box 105, Hawley, PA 18428 to 301 Lakewood Manor in Scranton, PA. Since I know many amateurs move and it takes a period of time to change the listed address, I agreed to ship to him with Jim doing the same.

I sent my radios to him via UPS on Jan. 13, 2009, which was received and signed for by him on Jan. 15, 2009. To date I have not received the laptop and my emails are not answered.

I was wondering if anyone in the Scranton PA area knows Jim, or if he is ill or possibly traveling. BTW, Scranton and Hawley are contiguous. Any information would be appreciated.

I Posted and IC7600 for sale. He answered my ad and asked if I would except PayPal. I said I would but I would prefer cash and after reading posts about his history I realized that this might not be a good deal. I said cash only and he said no thanks. What does it tell you about him? My Advice is extreme caution!
