Default the truth about Radio-mart on eBay, judge for yourself

Actually, Frank, he does. Further, he sells items as new that are
not, and has been equally as 'generous' in his descriptions. And

like
Radio-Mart, he buys with one account, selling with another, and in a
couple of cases, listed an item for sale with full description

before
he's received it.

More than one person in this group has experienced this through

first
hand transactions. I've seen him do it, myself, through careful

tracking
of his auctions when alerted by someone who was involved in a
transaction first hand.

One member here has had extensive experience with Radios4You he

can
go into dramatic detail. With little difference between R4U and

Radio-Mart.

I don't suppose you'd be able to say what his purchasing
alias is, would you? Gottahaveit1995 is rather ubiquitous,
but I don't track R4U that much.

Mike Maghakian would be able to say more definitively than I
precisely which name belongs to whom.

One former member of the group, a former staffer at VOA who was run
off by huge volume of petty bickering a few years ago, entered into a
couple of transactions with R4U with less than optimal results. He
wouldn't have done business with R4U a second time, except he got
sandbagged by one of R4U's alternate purchase ID's.
