For other not so inclined to visit the link, this is the entire

SHORT WAVE RADIO , OLD BIG BLACK BOX HOT HOT



No picture, just the above, and you still have 6 days to bid.

All this for only $3000 (yes Virginia, this is meant to say Three
Thousand Dollars). How can someone go wrong on such an offer?

But, this seller has vast experience, he has sold 6 items, and has 100%
feedback rating.

Here are his "other auctions"

The seller has a picture up now, it looks like a Zenith Trans-Oceanic.
Actually, the seller says:

"...looks similar to picture vintage, ..."

I suppose that means he's showing a picture of another radio.

The radio might be a bit pricy for many of us. But, things even out in
the long run. Consider 20 unpictured neckties, with a minimum bid of 1
cent!! The seller may not have a digital camera, but he seems eager to
answer questions. And, if the questioner includes his phone number in
the e-mail, the seller will call back anywhere in the US!

"WE BELIEVE IN THE PHRASE "CUSTOMER IS KING""

Well, you can bet that as soon as I become King of the US, I'll have a
$3000 Looks-like-a-Transoceanic AND a box of full of hot hot hot
neckties.

The radio pictured is an 8G005... worth maybe 1/20th of his opening bid.. if
it's in top condition, otherwise, maybe between $30-60.

Brenda, when I visited the link, there was no picture.

Spending $3000 for something more than a description is a little less
painful (very very very little less painful).

But scroll down to the SHipping and Handling fot those neckties.
$250.00 and $300.00 shipping for each lot, respectively.

Hmmm.. I wonder if he smokes those "diet cactus seeds..."




-jack-

Good catch! Does e-bay make the sellers pay the fees in advance?

And...based on his past purchases, he appears to be a deaf, fat
level-jumping Mason who may or may not be paranoid with a fixation on
Elmo and eating cactus to lose more weight......

Dunno, I've never sold anything there. I suspect not, though. I
don't think eBay takes a cut on the shipping; only the actual bid. I
I know many sellers that let items go for for literally pennies, but
make up for it on inflated "shipping" charges.


Ebay doesn't take a chunk, but it does say he accepts PayPal, and they DO
take a chunk out of the shipping as well as the selling price..

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!

The guys a total newbie to flea-bay, and I don't think he's going to
last long - at least as a seller. He's hooked a couple other newbies
into bidding (one on the ties, and 2 others on the cactus seeds - $25
shipping for 5 seeds! ROTFLMAO!!!!)

Judging from purchases listed in his feedback history, I picture a
slightly deaf, morbidly obese Conspiracy Theory nutcase.

Dave Frantz at WWRB says he only takes cash in advance to transmit
programming. I picture him daily groping through shopping bags to pick
out the cassette tapes among the pocket change and crumpled dollar
bills.
