What will I do with this?

I heard on the news that some guy was ripping people off on Ebay. It looks
like someone payed someone to pay him a visit. They picked up a couple
junkies in the area and paid them to club the guy up pretty bad. Reports are
even the police looked the other way on it.

I guess its not too safe to rip people off and have them know exactly where
the seller lives and what he does every day. Anything could happen....

Where'd you hear about this? Any links to the news story? Sounds like
someone got what they deserved. Thanks.

Not the real Martyn. The real Martyn uses DirectPC for his internet
connection, this guy uses Road Runner.

Don't feed the trolls.

Look for a used tabletop. You can get a 1980s vintage tabletop with
digital readout and all the other goodies for a decent price. There's a
site where hams buy and sell equipment, I think it's qrz.com or qsz.com
or something like that, you'll probably get a much better deal on there
than you will on ebay. You could probably get a Yaesu or a Kenwood for
under $400, since those companies no longer make tabletop SW receivers
their products have sort of an orphan status, which means their prices
are lower.

QTH.com, QRZ.com. Look for classifieds on these pages. Patience will net
you a good deal on what you are looking for here.
