Why Put Ebay Crap Here????????????????
Why I ask??????????????????????????
|
Why not? I have bought some hard to find Amateur Radio Parts that you
can't find anywhere , As a matter of fact I buy most if not all ham stuff on eBay. My last FT-1000MP Mark V was mint , and for $1450 , you can't ask for much more..You should try it... N4ATS radioman wrote: Why I ask?????????????????????????? |
For me -- I have found rare (not price wise) Ham items on E-Bay that I have never seen here. Example Kenwood made an outstanding grid dip meter -- found on E-Bay thru a notice here. Took 2 years to find one. I have an HF Swan large swr meter -- wanted the matching VHF unit -- found on E-Bay thru a notice here. Never saw one anywhere in the last several years. Another is a Kenwood TS-811 for 440 MHz -- not many sold I suspect --- but have seen a few on E-Bay. So go ahead and post your FA E-Bay items here -- who knows one might find a Knightkit OceanHopper by this means. -- 73 From The Wilderness Keyboard "radioman" wrote in message ...

: Why I ask?????????????????????????? duh.... this IS a swap/sales group. Why wouldn't one post Ham sales stuff here? Ed WB6SAT |
It wouldn't be so bad but some guys post 10 items every day.

So don't read them 10 times a day. That's what filters are for.

Why the heck not? As long as one uses FA in the subject line.
I know some folks are touchy about things like that. I picked up a Yaesu FT-847 on Ebay via a post here. I paid $675 for it on ebay about a year ago. The rig is flawless and works great!! Keep the ebay posts coming!!! radioman wrote: Why I ask?????????????????????????? |
Why not??? I picked up a mint TS-440S/AT for a great price.

there fat ass's, eat 6 for a dollar hotdogs and smoke all day. One guy here uses little tricks to go around filters...so that's one fact treated like the plague at NASA (a "taboo" no one has spoken about because they buy his junk) Its disgusting. These weasels have succumbed to Satan and have also destroyed the boatanchor Usenet. They need to repent by sending BA radios here ! Rev. RP.Jones "radioman" wrote in message ...

Some guys have turned the hobby into a business so they can sit home on there fat ass's, eat 6 for a dollar hotdogs and smoke all day. Quite frankly, I don't see the problem. The whole point of this swap group is to buy and sell ham gear. Why would you want to lessen the number of items for sale here? Ed WB6SAT |
Not the problem, some do and also do a "buy now option" well yea OK
But we have some abusive characters here blowing out teasers every 10 minutes to 12 hours. Look at "RLucch2098" for example He's 40+ multiple posts of FA fa fA FA~ Fa fa: fa; fa Fa* whatever" get the idea ? to go around filters, This is clear out abusive, out of line, yet no one has the nuts (perhaps you YL's clipped them years ago) to speak out or give a VALID defense for spammers like this ! BTW: Shame on you RLucch2098 and "some" others keeping quiet in the corner with the cat on your laps HOW ABOUT a valid answer why the **abuse** (written above) bovine chemistry by these commercial bootleggers and individuals is tolerated on this Usenet?

I enjoy myself. It is obvious though that the only way some people can enjoy themselves is to complain. I have tried but I can see no way to fit complaining into the purpose of the newsgroup. Obviously eBay does fit. So lets ban complainers. |
Your right Rev. RLucch2098 is definately the problem with 10 posts
a day and its obvious what he is trying to do to get around the filters.

you buy from him Now you are also saying we "have" to look and skip and sort through this crap after saying "use your filters" Wrong !

This is a for Sales Newsgroup and eBay items are for Sales so isn't this
about enough of this stupid bashing of each other? FA: (or whatever) describes the way it is being Sold so DON'T read the FA: (or what ever) if you don't think they interest you.

Hi All,
As with all things, there are 2 sides to the argument here. If I want to selll something on ebay, I list it there and don't post a teaser ad on the NG's. If I want to sell something on the NG's, I post it there. That being said, I think that some folks DO overdo it by posting a LOT of FA ads on the NG's. Those folks should be restrained, but I'm not the internet police, so it isn't for me to enforce. I personally don't filter them out as I might just want to take a look. What I take exception to is folks that post FS ads, then it turns out to be an ebay plug. I am also not too keen on those that make a living out of buying these old rigs, then jacking up the price by about 200% and re-selling. Those folks are out there in ALL areas, not just boatanchors. All in all, I try to just take it in stride and appreciate all the good folks on the net, disregarding the creeps. Just an opinion.... rgds, Mark S. |

Ed WB6SAT Probably because this group is NOT called alt.ebay.reflector Just like the useless cb'ers with a callsign and their 2-meter hamshacks on their hips ... there is the same mentality regarding ebay. Why should the lazy buggers go look for anything themselves when they can sit here and get spoon fed by their own ilk? Go change yer 2 meters fer 3 meters and have fun with Howard Stern.

I find this circumstance to be just the opposite for me.

Good gosh, so much anger out there!
Isn't there anything else more important out there to worry about? Like if the terrorists should decide to blow something else up and kill more of us? Who really cares about FS / FA. If you don't care to view the FA's, don't. If you do care to view them, do. It's that simple. Grow up! Life is way to important!! 73 RP Jones wrote: More Bullcrap !!

Because we can. I've subscribed to this newsgroup for about 8 years, the
whiners come and go. Meanwhile the rest of us use our friggin heads and don't read the posts that don't interest us, period. Life is too short to whine about such ridiculous nonsense. |

I've said it once, I'll say it again. When people buy a news paper or magazine, they go to their favorite section(s) to read and skip the rest. The rest which may be enjoyed by still others. IF YOU DO NOT LIKE A POST, SKIP IT! What the hell is so freaking hard about it????? DAMNED! BLOCK THE SENDER if you feel they're wasting your time. GET A FREAKING LIFE. QUIT CRYING. G.W.

I think what got this all started was there is a certain person that
post 10 items every day or so and he dont just put FA: He puts FA fa FA fa Fa Fa fa: FA: Etc Etc Every post has a different preface.

When we amortize 'our time' out over even something as short as our own lifetime, it becomes worth a very small fiscal amount... the only true value to 'our time' is in the living, and that is far too short for argument and anger. |
