Default radio mart horror story-WILL YOU BE HIS NEXT VICTIM ?????

this appeared in a post this week in a yahoo group I belong to:

"Okay Chuck you are the man. I just bought an R-2000 off this sleaze
on eBay who said the unit was in pristine condition and the tuner
dial didn't work but just needed a 'reset'! Not only didn't it work
but the counter circuit board was disconnected and just hanging
there. I found the two screws for it in a little plastic bag inside
the radio. So I re-installed the circuit board and it still didn't
work.

Then I signed up for this Yahoo group and the first post I read is
yours. I tweaked the adjustment pots and VOILA it is now working.

Now all I need to do is fumigate this pristine radio to get rid of
the cigarette smoke smell and promise myself never to buy another
thing from radio-mart again."

Default radio mart horror story-WILL YOU BE HIS NEXT VICTIM ?????

I wont ever buy anything from Radio Mart.The only thing I ever bought
off of ebay before a few years ago was a new Elvis Presley Date Book
(Notebook) from a guy in Ohio,for that married Irish woman wayyyy over
yonder across the big pond.(because she saw them for sale on ebay) That
was safe enough and if recall,the book only cost me about four dollars
and more than that to snail mail it to her.

Which reminds me,I need to ask her if she needs some more of those
Maybelline eye liner pencils that aren't avaliable in the Wallgreen's
stores over yonder anymore.That 31 year old brunette divorced woman that
lives next door to me got back home from her court thingy in Minneapolis
this afternoon.

You think Radio-Mart is bad?? Remind me to tell you about the time
I bought a life-sized female blow-up doll off of e-Bay! They were being
sold by some dirty old man in Florida who was also a ham and used
to jam 14.313 during the heyday of the KV4FZ vs The Maritime Mobile
Net war (1979 - 1999) Well, I gets this idea...why not fill up these
NAKED FEMALE BLOW UP SEX TOY DOLLS with Helium gas?
Yeah! I says... So I fills them up with gas and pack em all into a big
panel delivery truck and park a block away from the Holy Roller Blaptist
Church of the Snake Handler. (real Pentacostal Jeezus toungues speakin
type folks) so....church lets out they come streamin out the doors all
filled up with Jeezus and I lets the dolls loose! They start floating
skyward.
NAKED HELIUM FILLED BLOW UP SEX TOY DOLLS FLOATING
UPWARDS TO HEAVEN SKYWARD.........!! I think that I gave 4 or 5
of em massive CVA's thinking that the missed the "Rapture of The Church"
or something. I was laughing so hard that I ****ed myself and my sides
ached
for a week afterwards.

I often stay up all night wondering if Martyn puts the red velvet in
the box with your shipment. That would make up for the poor quality of
the crap he sells.

If it's still in the box, how do you know it was never used? I'm guessing
you have a DNA match on your "old buddy."

You ought not to pick on those nice Pentecostal people like that,they
are nice people.I saw some Pentecostal wimmins at the Wal Mart food
store department this afternoon.I wear my shoes kind of loose and I was
making them go clip clop clip clop like a horse walking along.Them
wimmins didn't (on purpose) pay any attention at first (I was in the
beer department of the store) but after they got about ten feet past
me,naturally I looked back at them (they are about twenty years old and
very cute) and they were giggling at each other and looking back at me.I
like Pentecostal people.They are fun.
cuhulin,clip clop clip clop
