I am not a regular user of eBay, so needless to say, I was quite
surprised when my HR2600 was banned. I emailed eBay and they
basically said the HR2600 has been deemed by the FCC to be an illegal
radio since it's used frequently for out-of-band pirate operation.
Since I am a licensed ham, bought the radio legally from another ham,
and have always operated it legally, I can't see how they can ban
these radios (other than the fact that they can because it's their
auction site and I know this trumps fairness).

So my question, is what is the best alternative auction site for those
10 meter ham refugees who have been banished from eBay? I've heard
Yahoo's site is pretty good, are there others I should consider? I'm
not a dealer, just an ordinary ham wanting to get a fair price for my
prized HR2600.

Thanks in advance for your advice and suggestions.

If you "want a fair price", post it For Sale in any of these groups.
The fact that you want to auction it suggests that you want more than
a fair price.

try eHam, QTH.com or QRZ.com, all have very widely used classified for sale
boards, with good pricing

Rubbish. An auction is the best way to get a fair price because the free
market is allowed to deterimine the value. What could be fairer than that?

Idiots just can't get that point through their heads. Damned, if an open
auction
doesn't define fairness... nothing else does.

"Fair price"...??? For whom?

eBay prices are typically HIGHER than what can be had through
other resources simply because people get caught up in the bidding
process. Great for the seller, I guess.

But how is this not a "fair price?" Nobody is twisting the bidders' arms,
forcing them to pay. Is the system responsible because they make a poor
decision and overbid?

I suppose, in this junk society where nobody's responsible for their own
actions, it fits right in. Just as McDonalds is responsible for people getting
fat and RJ Reynolds is responsible for people getting lung cancer. *sigh*

That is a stupid thing to say. On ebay you could have hundreds
of people looking at your item. Here you are limited to a
couple of dozen at best. You should use your cranium some time.

"A couple of dozen at best"? How do you figure that? Do you have any
clue? If that's true, why did you ask your question here?

BTW, I merely made an observation. But you proved it for me: The "fair
price" you could get here wouldn't be enough.
