Hhhmmm, thought this group was rec.radio.amateur.equipment?
The FT-847 is amateur equiptment.
:-)


It is. "All about production amateur radio hardware" according to
newsgroup archive info. I believe the FAQ does state this, but the FAQ
for this newsgroup seems to be "mis-placed" on the official FAQ FTP site
at the moment. Bottom line... discussion, not FOR SALE postings. The
rec.radio.swap newgroup is for that, and it rediculously redundant to
post for sale items on any, or all, of the other amateur radio discussion
newsgroups.

Yup, and in r.r.swap it will find a better audience! Personally, I don't
care as long as the poster puts an FA in the message so I can filter the
message, but this really isn't the group.

I think people do this because they are insensitve, crude and
inconsiderate, plus they may be greedy and selfish too.

I think that's why they post E-Bay junk here.

It does make me wonder how effective E-Bay is though, if it needs the
extra "help".

I know some folks are touchy about things like that.
I picked up a Yaesu FT-847 on Ebay via a post here.
I paid $675 for it on ebay about a year ago.
The rig is flawless and works great!!
Keep the ebay posts coming!!!


Someone else will be wondering why the heck they can't post ebay ads for
their Hummel figurines soon!

But then again, some people enjoy spam too! 8^)

If everyone looks down a few post you will see the problem is still
here and he has ignored all the complaints directed at him.

Don't forget the many which are posted repeatedly for the same item,
or the hourly updates on when the auction closes.

My idea would be to have a special Website for all of the eBay
auctions, and the people who want to look at auction items could go
there, and others could choose not to. They could call it ebay.com or
something, have a search engine, and all sorts of other features.

Happy trails,

Well, I've seen computer stuff, hifi stuff and even guns for sale
in the boatanchors newsgroup. Plus they get a lot of stuff that really
does not qualify as boatanchors, it being too new and too light to qualify.
I'm pretty sure I've seen computer stuff sold here in .equipment but
it's been a while.
