examine this auction:

I saw him buy this radio about 2 months ago. I didn't bid because it has a
serious problem.

lets look at his lies:

"This receiver is a two very careful owner's from new set and is perfect in
every way, it could so easily be sold as brand new."

and

"The only small thing I have to mention is the two glasses are clouded with
dust, they can be easily cleansed to be perfect but I do not have the time
to do that so its as per the pictures, its only dust."



the two glasses in question are fogged. they are not dusty, THEY CAN NOT BE
CLEANED. this radio is in no way like new or collectable as he says !



then he says:

"have been using the set myself for several months now, it replaced a
Satellit 800 I had and I have to honestly say that it is so much better than
the 800 especially the qudio quality, I didnt think there would be so much
difference but now I know."



well, he hasn't owned it several months and it is nowhere near the satellit
800 in performance ! I can attest to this.



so before you buy your first radio consider you might be basing your
decision on radio-mart lies.


Peanuts are just crap for shipping. The items float through peanuts. If
you put them in zip lock bags and then pack around the item, they suck
less. Bubble wrap is really the way to go.

UPS would never pay off on that unit. Insurance is no excuse for poor
packing.

Once again, thanks for exposing Radio-Mart(TM) to be the asshole that
he is.
