What are his actions and how are they different from other sellers on

Doesn't he misrepresent most the stuff he auctions as much higher
quality than it really is ? Bare in mind, this isn't my arguement.


I don't know if he does or not, and I'm beginning to think that most of
those complaining on this forum really don't know either.

But even if he is overdescribing his radios, he has plenty of company.
Most of us realize that sellers by their self-interest tend to
emphasize the positive and minimize the negative. Like most on this
forum I troll the Ebay auctions. If you look closely at the pictures
and ask a few pointed questions you quickly discover that the mint,
minty, rarely used, almost perfect, super clean, pristine radio has
plenty of warts. Most used radios are used.

Given the number of sellers that overdescribe their radios on Ebay I'm
at a complete loss as to why this one guy attracts the unending
attention of our resident mutual complaint society.


Well, the guy does lie his ass off on a regular basis.
