We only have his word at what she said. We do not know exactly
whatshe said or whathe said. So its premature to say that she was at
fault at all. Besides all he is really doing now is whining like a
baby and trying to get attention. Perhaps he is hoping spmeone will
take pity on him an offer to sell him a SW radio

This newsgroup is about shortwave radio, but I think is also serves a need
for social interraction. This is a good thing; people need to know that they
are all special. If somebody runs into an unhappy situation the way Lucky
did, I don't see any problem with his venting on rec.radio.shortwave.
It is a heck of a lot better than some of those off-topic political posts
that tend to bash certain individuals.
We are all people, and we are going to feel emotional at certain times.
Expressing our feelings are healthy. For those who don't believe this, maybe
we should start a newsgroup entitled rec.people.automatons............just
kidding.
You are correct............maybe we don't really know what the exchange was
between Lucky and the eBay seller, but I think that my first assessment was
probably correct.
I think that this was an inexperienced seller. I also think that this might
have been the first time she was in this kind of situation and that she
didn't know how to handle it.

Noooooooooooooo... he simply was out bid.

Once again... a real no-brainer.
