Speaking of FRG-7
 

Hello all


First off, I would post the links, but I am unsure how to do that. Sorry

On Ebay, do a search for Yaesu Musen, and two FRG-7 come up. Two
different sellers, 2 different locations, 2 different pictures.


One thing that smells fishy is the fact the two auctions have identical
auction titles, and descriptions are nealy identical.

Do any of you more seasoned Ebayers smell a scam? What do you think? I
would like to bid, but I dont want to get ripped off.

Cheers

Mark

Mark..it's NOT a wonderful receiver, I had one years ago and it's pretty
deaf. Unless you want it for a "collection" or get it VERY cheap I would
pass on it. Look at the Specs, nothing special and it doesnt even come close
to those numbers...Eddie

A scam? I doubt it... If you look at the dates the auctions started it's
obvious that the second seller looked at the first one as a way of listing
his item. He looked at the title and said that looks good. He looked at the
description and said, yeah, that looks good too. I'll doctor it a bit for my
use.

Some people are just not as creative as others are when listing and
describing an item, therefore they look to those who've gone before.

Considering the reviews that people (lots) have given it, I would more
likely think that you had a bad one.

I had someone on Ebay steal the picture of my R8B for his auction. It
looked so good he thought it was an industry photo, which he assumed was
available to anyone. I told him I was not pleased, so he agreed to add
an explanation about the picture to his auction.

EH,

I would Agree - In its time the late 1970s and at its original Price
of $300-$350: The Yaesu FRG-7 was a very good receiver with some
interesting features but basic. But now there are some 1980s and
1990s 'very good' used receivers that clearly out perform it.
