Mark - did it ever occur to you that some of the people who are buying
and reselling may have lost their jobs in the past couple of years
thanks to greedy corporate America? I for one did and I know several
more in the same situation here in Phoenix and in a few other parts of
the country. I was 27 years with Motorola and than out the door. Thanks
to what you call "make a living out of buying these old rigs, then
jacking up the price by about 200% and re-selling", I have been able to
feed my family and not lose my house after being laid off two and a half
years ago. I'm a single parent with two teenagers and no child support.

You need to lighten up since you really don't know the circumstances.
Also not that this was sent directly, not to the newsgroup.

Happy boatanchoring. I'm also a National collector with over 20 5
National receivers which I did not have to sell to eat.

These weasels have succumbed to Satan and have also destroyed the boatanchor

They need to repent by sending BA radios here !

Yeah, DARN RIGHT, PREACHER!

They should give the radios away, otherwise they will rot in hell
as they so richly deserve... Amen?

I have been swapping and selling radios for years. Ebay has been my main
source for hard to find items. The Ebay FAs on this newsgroup bothered me
until I became an Ebayer. So maybe it primarily bothers the folks that do
not have the time or patience for Ebay, dont understand it or don't think
that one can get a fair deal bidding on auction items. Personally I have
found my best deals on ebay. There is also a lot of value to the Ebay
feedback system for determining the integrety of a seller. Everyone on this
NG has one thing in common, they are looking to swap, sell or buy a radio
and Ebay is an awesome place to get that "hard to find item". I must admit
that over posting is cheesy spam that clutters up the NG, but I do not mind
the FAs here if posted once weekly.

just like cancer.

I buy a lot of radio parts and older equipment off of Ebay only because
that's about the only place to fine it. Unfortunately its usually over
priced ( and no supply and demand lectures please..its about making money
and you guys know it ) and the condition is questionable. I have been burnt
several times. I applaud the fellows that still post on the newsgroups. I
myself hate to wade through all the FA's crap on here. When I come here its
to avoid Ebay.

This crap needs to have a separate newsgrp for all those
junkie!!!!!!


more newsgps, is needed in this area.


Just really another reason for spammers to run their mouth
off!!!!

Yup - we ALL know where eBay is... We ALL know how to find stuff
there!

Maybe they need a group called;

rec.radio.auction

Putting all the ads there would clean this group up a lot.
You CAN'T "swap" something for an AUCTION item!
