Someone in China decided to copy a Radio-Mart auction, down to the red
background and even calling himself Radio-Mart.

I haven't seen you post much here, so I'll give you the benefit of the
doubt.

Radio-Mart is a(n) (in)famous E-bay seller. Some people here criticize him
to buttering-up his listings.

The Chinese seller who copied one of his auctions wholesale, down to the
picture saying that he had posted many items (when it appears to be his
only auction), and wants Cash, is going to scam someone out of his money,
most likely. My intent in posting is to warn the community.


Oh, I've read enough of the nonsense posted about radio mart to know
where this is headed. I've come to realize that some on this forum are
apparently small time dealers threatened by his success. I think it is
clear that one of those individuals (certainly not you I'm sure) missed
the excitement of those never ending radio mart threads and dummied up
that auction listing.

Why that group is so fixated on that one seller is beyond me.

This news group is a good forum to report the results of used radio
transactions as people need to buy a radio in order to participate in
the hobby.

He apparently was good at stretching the truth and some people felt
they got screwed. As an impartial observer it seems to me that he had
many auctions and didn't want to take the time to write a specific
advertisement for each radio and generalized on previous ads that
generated a good response. I will give him the benefit of the doubt on
the way the advertisements were written.

It people see a suspicious auction they do us a favor to reporting it.

IF ANYONE DESERVES HAVING AN AUCTION RIPPED-OFF, IT IS MARTY.

GOOD LUCK, HOPE THAT RADIO IS FULLY CLEANSED!

It would appear that at least one member of this little mutual
appreciation society has reached a new low by creating a fake ebay
auction.

Well, you have me twisted all around. I don't sell shortwave or HAM
equipment on Ebay.

John and Martyn are very good friends.
