N1SZZ Angle Santi put a Kenwood TS-50 on QTH forsale. I answered the ad as soon as he put it on.. We made a deal on the radio. I live in Orlando Florida and Angel Santi lives in Tampa. We agreed to meet today on Interstate I-4 so I could pay him and pick the radio up. Santi e-mail me early today to tell me he sold it on e-bay??? Why would he post it both places?? I think he's not telling the truth. I think he got a better price and blew me off after making a deal with me.. I made plans to pick radio up. It's a good thing I looked at my e-mail!!! I hope the guy who buys this radio looks at it before paying.. Thanks Guys Ron KD4ZIP Orlando fl.

Ebay is a mess!

Ron,
I won't deal with anybody who posts a rig on qth and ebay at the same time. As far as I am concerned, when the item is put on ebay, it isn't for sale here anymore. Unfortunately for you, you weren't aware that the individual had put the item on ebay. I won't say this practise is immoral, but it is unfair to list on ebay and here at the same time. All sorts of complications happen when sombody lists a rig on qrz, eham, qth, and ebay at the same time. What a nightmare! Sellers, be good to your ham colleagues, list here first, then if it doesn't sell then go to ebay. It's only fair. :(
