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.

Here is proof positive this guy is a crook. If you click on the first

He bid on his own stuff, and won it, so had to relist it again! Geeze,
what
a guy. I wouldn't buy gold bricks cheap from him!

Up to his old games - here's the most recent 'won' auction:

http://tinyurl.com/2w2ns6

The 'lucky' bidder wanked it up to $2000. Of course, we all
know that Radio Mart uses alternate IDs to shill bid his own stuff
into the stratosphere, and occasionally ends up the high bidder
himself.
Whereupon he has to reslist cuz the 'buyer' failed to pay (he sure
gets a LOT of 'non paying bidders' doesn't he!!)

Sure enough in this case, cuz he's just relisted it:

http://tinyurl.com/32d4lz

Of course, he always says 'non paying bidder' - naturally.

But hey Martyn - we all know you like to occasionally win the
shill auctions yourself! Have fun paying those Final Sale fees to
Ebay on your shills - or do you report yourself as the non-paying
bidder
perhaps?

Did you know that shill bidding, even on Ebay, is illegal in all 50
states?
Just curious...
Has anyone ever attempted to report this crook to eBay? No, they will
NOT favor him because of his feedback, etc. He's small fish in a big
ocean compared to many serious (and honest) sellers on eBay. If
enough people report him, sooner or later, he will get booted.

Please, people, report this guy to eBay! And keep reporting him until
he's off.

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.

Actually, it happens every day. On the private and the corporate
level. Someone trading on another's reputation, is serious enough in
itself. Misrepresenting products in another's name can have long term
consequences to the business and personal reputation of the person who's
reputation his being traded upon.

Litigation, as distasteful as it may seem, is the only way to
minimize that kind of damage.

Often, however, the process never makes it to a courtroom. Once an
action is filed, settlements often happen quickly.

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!

You know Tim, I have a child who is autistic and mentally retarded.
It would be nice if you would think of a better analogy to use instead
of picking on people who have no choice of their destiny in life.



I have a brother that is mentally handicapped and the best way to deal with
people that offend them is to not let it offend you. Most people don't mean
to offend and I don't think Tim was trying to be mean, although the analogy
was tasteless. Our love for the handicapped people in our lives shouldn't
make us hyper sensitive trying to protect them and the real aholes that say
stuff to be mean are lonely pathetic souls with bigger issues than any
handicapped person we'll ever know.

Brian, your ability to bite your tongue speaks to your unusual self-
discipline, but I didn't read Tom's mild comment as anything more than
a polite reminder that there are other and better ways to make a
point. He didn't wail about how offended he was, or lash out at Tim or
call him names. My wife worked with retarded kids for many years--it
galls us when we hear kids call each other "retard" or say "that was
retarded." Our own son did it when he got to middle-school age. An
occasional calm heads-up like Tom's is fine in my book.
