Of course many people resell radios that they buy on eBay. The issue is
lying, period. Radio-mart lies about where he gets the radios he sells, as
well as the condition. He also claims that he has aligned it, replaced
tubes, etc. when in fact he does not. The people that sold him the radio
know the truth, which is what started this thread. Most of the time he
doesn't even change the text of his listing. He's just generally a shady
character, and it's forums such as this that expose him.

Radios4you certainly does not fall into the same class as Radio Mart by

Chinese imports and does not buy off of Ebay and resell at inflated

Two comments:

1) People seem to get upset that he "bought it off eBay and re-sold it on
eBay".

So what??? What if he bought it at a flea market or garage sale and then
sold it on eBay? I don't think you would know or care. Ergo, it makes no
difference *where* it came from.

2) You said "resell at inflated prices". Hey, folks...this is an
*auction*. Please show me where he is putting a gun against someone's head
and forcing them to bid.

P.S.

This is not to defend shilling (if any) or lying about the condition.
These are entirely different issues.
