A good friend of mine passed away recently and, as an agreement as part of
his estate, his wife directed me to sell his CB's, but I am having
difficulty. I am trying to use eBay as selling medium. It seems like I can
list his Cobra 148 GTL's and Uniden Grants (he had about ten of these!) and
they are selling within a few days, but he has some other radios that I got
a warning about not selling because they aren't CB's(?)(something like that
anyhow). I tried listing them several times, but each time the auction gets
cancelled. Since I have never been into radio, a brief Internet search
shows these radios not meeting FCC standards. Radios like Superstar, and I
think a Uniden 2500 (or 2510). His wife tells me that these radios would
bring the most money, but I don't want to jeopardize my reputation on eBay.
Is there any way to sell them or should I just give them back to her and
tell her to keep but never use them? Thanks!

You could post a message on a few Yahoo groups like cbtricks and the_mod.
Ebay says you can't sell them because the FCC says they are dual-purpose
radios and are not allowed in the US under part 95. Personally, I use a
2950 on 10 meters and f--- the FCC. The 2510 you could sell to a ham.

Any radio with a 40 channel selector knob with banks is a souped up CB.
VFO and memories is a ham radio, like a 2510, 2600 or 2950. My FT-857 can
be made to cover CB, and that radio is legal. Why is my 2950 not legal?

Stupid. Just stupid...

Scott has a good point regarding posting them on the Yahoo groups but
then again you can post them here, too. Just because the title of the
group is "Baking Apple Pies" doesn't mean we can't talk about "Baking
Special Brownies" in the same group. Whatcha' got?
