Talking to Ebay is like talking to M$. They really don't care as long
as they make $. The are very "reactive" to issues, not "proactive". I
see nothing wrong with the 2600 but lets talk about the 200 watt "Ham
Amps" for $1xx.00 that cover 12 and 10 meters? They are still around.
Also the "Amateur amps, 250 watts for $2xx.00 that only cover 24 to 30
mhz. Funny, they still get listed?

What do I know and its for sure Ebay does not care at all.

Just my 3 cents, John W5CGU

Since I am a licensed ham, bought the radio legally from another ham,
and have always operated it legally, I can't see how they can ban
these radios (other than the fact that they can because it's their
auction site and I know this trumps fairness).

So my question, is what is the best alternative auction site for those
10 meter ham refugees who have been banished from eBay? I've heard
Yahoo's site is pretty good, are there others I should consider? I'm
not a dealer, just an ordinary ham wanting to get a fair price for my
prized HR2600.

Thanks in advance for your advice and suggestions.

It's pirates, freebanders and keyclowns who are responsible for the
"ban" in the first place, yet they are the ones who bitch the loudest
about the "unfair" eBay and FCC.

Wrong again, Doug: It's whining trolls like you who are responsible
for the "ban".

And if you continue to jam 2 meter repeaters in and around Toledo,
you'll get repeaters banned, too.

Best alternative to ebay? The Dayton Hamvention.

BTW, Ebay is so large that they usually do not go out of their way to
look for items to ban. What usually happens is some dirtbags out
there look for these radios and amps and e-mail ebay. Then "poof"
your auction is ended. Even though there is nothing illegal with the
item. Ebay is making way to much money to let a legal radio (or
whatever) that someone "might" modify" to be sold on their system.
They seem to be afraid of repercussions down the road.

OK, everyone, as promised, I finally posted my radio on QRZ.com and
www.eham.com. Price is $225 or best offer. Go to either of those
sites and check out the description and photo.

Thanks again to everyone who helped me with advice. Much appreciated.

Funny thing is that I've spotted quite a few HR2600's on eBay both
before and since I tried posting my radio. And no, I didn't email
eBay about them nor am I going to post the links to the items (if the
radio police want to, they can just search eBay to find them). One
that has been up for several days even proudly advertises its
Chipswitch mod that covers CB. Ummm, can you say "selective
enforcement?"

Selective enforcement is ebay's right. You can't accept that.
Solution: get off ebay. Duhhhh.

Wrong again. eBay is a business and their business is connecting
sellers and potential buyers. You can't accept that. Solution, stop
