The auction was pulled with no other information when I used the link. It was a spoof of R-M. Instead of overpriced radios (which can be lemons), the spoofer was auctioning off a real lemon. Had R-M's spiel down pat. Was the lemon sitting on a red cloth? Sounds funny and I'm sorry I missed it. Yup. Perhaps it got archived somewhere. |

It Was Just A Matter Of Time - Radio-Mart
One night when I was in New Orleans at the French Quarter,there was a
guy sitting on the curb in front of Houlihan's and there was loud jazzy music and people were dancing in the street.(Bourbon Street) The guy had an old Zenith Trans-Oceanic transistor radio sitting by him.He would get up every few minutes (he was drunk just like a lot of those other people were drunk too) and dance a few steps and then sit back down on the curb for a few minutes.Oviouslly the radio didn't work because the round dial thingy that is for tuning in stations kept falling out of his radio on the curb. cuhulin |

I suspected it wasn't long for this world, so I saved the page on my office computer, and it was still up when I went home for lunch so I snagged another copy there. Personally, I thought it needed more puffery, private bidding and a story of someone drinking tea with a lemon just like this one while some important historical event took place. My favorite line in the listing was: "If the item received is not as expected please CONTACT ME, before leaving negative feedback, as I always try to retaliate." |

That pic with the multimeter reminds me of a picture of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard hooking up an electrical meter (called an E-meter in the cult) to a tomato via a nail driven through said tomato in an attempt to "audit" the vegetable. (For more info visit xenu.net and search for this pic.) |

There are those who have said what they bought amounted to "used food". Sorry to hear that. Did they get their money back? My impression is some do, and some don't. I'm sure contacting him right away and being polite but firm helps. But he doesn't refund shipping and handling if you return something and that can be considerable on a boatanchor. Anyone can make an honest mistake with a description - but if there's a sign of intentional misrepresentation (pictures taken from angles to hide serious damage on a radio described as "collector quality", or something that's described as working like new but tubes were in wrong sockets resulting in a fire when you turned it on) the seller should be refunding for shipping - both ways. I see nothing wrong with him buying radios that are poorly described and reselling them with a better description. But he appears he'll buy a radio thats honestly described warts and all, and then resell it with phrases like "like new", "I can not fault this" and "collector quality". His negative and neutral feedback can be entertaining to read. http://www.toolhaus.org/cgi-bin/negs...rn=Received+by Unfortunately, since he uses private auctions, you can't read the item descriptions to evaluate if they were honest. You can check the feedback of folks who left him negs, and he almost always retaliates. |

I did a google search for,Zenith Trans-Oceanic Radios
I think it was a Zenith model 7000 Trans-Oceanic Radio that the guy sitting on the curb in front of Houlihan's on Bourbon Street had.The round plastic dial thingy that rotates and has station listings on it,that was the part that kept falling out of his radio.It wasen't fastened into the radio at all and both of the front flip up/flip down panels/covers was missing.Perhaps he thought he was looking like a big shot totin that boat anchor around. I'm goinnnn to Montana to danceeee the Houlihan,,,,,,,, Yipi yiiii yipi yo,,,,,,,,, get alonggggg little dogey,,,,,, it's yourrrrr misfortune and noneee of my ownnnnnn,,,,,,,,, cuhulin |

Consider it archived, and feel free to use the link any time you want. If Martin is reading this, note that the right to parody and satire have met legal challenges. Just ask Bill O'Reilly and Al Franken. Mark S. Holden wrote: MnMikew wrote: "Telamon" wrote in message ... In article , "Michael Lawson" wrote: "Telamon" wrote in message ...
