I noticed that too :~) What's he supposed to say if he wants to sell it?

According to your 'write up' though on ebay Corbin, it is just fine.
What
gives? Hmmmm?

It's called marketing. And I spoke no lie there either. This IS my third
radio this week, and like it or not, I am henpecked to the point that my
wife really did tell me to sell this one on eBay.

The performance I experienced with my 9700 is probably average for that
particular radio, no better, no worse. As most of you know, I have found a
couple of cheap Chinese radios that I like better -- Tecsun BCL2000 and
Degen DE1102 -- and so I am choosing to sell the 9700 and keep the other
two. Also, to be fair, my opening price was only 1 penny, with no reserve,
plus the actual shipping I would need to send a three-pound radio anywhere
in the US. If the winning bidder paid $8.01 for the radio, would that be a
problem for anyone here? Not for me. What about $10.01 or $20.01? That's up
to the bidder. I paid a total of $47.90 to get that radio shipped to me. If
I sell it for less or more than that, it won't matter. I was able to try the
radio out for myself and I quickly found out that it didn't suit my
particular needs. That puts the 9700 in the same company as the Satellit 800
and the Sony 2010. That's pretty good company for some people.

What if I lose money on the transaction? Then it was a learning experience.
What if I make money on the transaction? Then it was a learning experience
on which I made a couple of dollars. Of course, I'll use those dollars to
order another cheap radio until I find one that I want to keep.

Thanks for being so understanding.

There is trouble in space , Blanking out reception of easy stations
Double reduction set; DX / Local switch OK ??

- Famous story about a man on Long Island who bought a Barometer, unwrapped it
HURRICANE said the barometer..
Tapped it
HURRICANE it read

Irate, Said person wrote a terse note, rewrapped the barometer, drove miles
through the rain & wind to an open post office.
Sent it back to Abecrombie & Fitch in New York,
arrived back at his house to find it washed away..

Hurricane !

I received my newest cheap Chinese portable today, a Tecsun R9700DX, and I
was very disappointed. It was packaged nicely and it arrived on time, but
the radio wasn't much of a performer. I tried all the bands, and at no time
did it seem to be very sensitive.Even when I tried to listen to Rush on our
local AM, I seemed to have trouble tuning the radio right in the middle of
the carrier wave.

That's pretty dang funny! Or sad, depending...

Hmm. I got one of those and it's really nice. Would make a great
retirement present for an Uighur horseman. I like its amber light. I
can guess what frequency I'm looking at +- 10kHz. It's my favorite
for travelling now. I'm in an analog radio phase.

I like the size and sound ok, even though I could get the radio to distort
fairly easily by turning it up over half way on a local FM station. It's not
very ergonomic, hiding the power switch at the bottom of the left side
panel. The tuning knob seemed to be a bit tight, but felt solid. The volume
control was a slider control, and even though I would rather have a knob, my
first radio had a slider, and I thought that would be a neat feature on this
radio. I didn't do much for me.

I've put the radio back in the box. If I had bought it at my local Wal-Mart,
I would take it back. If it was worth $100, I might sell it on eBay. But
since I spent only $27.90 for the radio, it's not worth sending back to
Liypn nor listing it on eBay.

Sorry if I interrupted you.
