Anyhow, I *didn't* engage in a bidding war, the other guy won. After the
auction
I was given an offer to "purchase" the radio.

************************************************** *******************************

NO- I'TS A SCAM. i got the same offer on a radio i was outbid on. i
received an email
off ebay for the same item. i emailed the seller and was told it was not
from him. a
scam, i googled ebay scams and found out this is nothing new. the scam
email said the
buyer backed out and i could have the radio for the top bid price. the
old send the
money and never hear from them again. i forwarded the email to ebay.
don't fall for
this one.
Drifter...
