Has anyone contacted Rick Mish to get the real story?

According to the description in the orginal auction where the crook Martyn
bought it under the "gottahaveit" ID, the seller only said Rick "checked it
out, or went over it" That's a bit different than a refurburshing I've seen
Rick do. In fact the closeups of the receiver show that Rick probably
didn't do his normal excellent job and all he did was check it out.

It's the outrageous BS that Martyn the crook attaches to his auctions that
is amazing...and suckers fall for it all the time. The guy is an out right
liar and a fraud. His description of this receiver is so wrong in a number
of areas!

Ebay doesn't care since they still collect fees from him AND Ebay is
passive participant in his fraud since it has been documented and reported
numerous times.

Your original point is well made. Rick Mish should be contacted to
verify if Martyn's claims are true.

If Martyn is trading off Rick's reputation and the work is NOT as
described, Mish can legally have Martyn's ass for fraud,
misrepresentation of Mish's work, harm to his reputation, and
profiteering on Rick's name without permission.

Then have Rick contact eBay about trading on his reputation without
permission.

THAT will get the job done.

Suing Radio-Marty for misrepresentation would be like suing the
retarted kid at the playground because he mumbles incoherent stuff
about you. Nothing against retarted kids, sorry to compare them with
Marty! But a not particularly useful experience for a well-respected
professional to to one-up a retarded kid.

Tim.

Why do you see it that way instead of seeing RadioMart as a calculating
predator? Do you have any personal or business relationship to him?

I have canceled bids in the past by "gottahaveit(whatever)" on items I
had for sale, after I figured out it was him. Selling a radio to him
would be about as bright as selling a gun to the retarded kid at the
playground.

It just isn't worth it. If he were a professional predator, I might
devote some effort other than just canceling his bids. But that's not
what I see him as. Do you think I'm giving him too much credit, or too
little? Probably too much if I bother to type about him here!

OMFG. I just looked under "radio-mart" on Ebay and this guy is not the
small-timer he was a couple years back. He's got 88 auctions going on
just for radios! I believe I will have to re-align my opinions in the
near future... not sure where they'll fall but it's clear that he is
not the retarded kid on the playground he used to be. He's more like
the retarded kingpin of the ****ing mafia!
