Since when did Cobra make a "ham" radio? Didn't see the Item number to look
it up for myself.

Though I'm not the seller, let me assure you, it is a FOR SALE item. There
is no auctioning involved, therefore the original poster was correct in
using FS, and you are incorrect is telling him/her to use FA.

http://www.faqs.org/faqs/radio/swap-guide/ :

It has become common practice to append "FS" ("For Sale"), "WTB"
("Want To Buy"), or "WTT" ("Want To Trade") to the subject line of an
ad. With the new online auction service, eBay, we ask that you include
"FA" ("For Auction") and also "eBay" to your subject line if you
choose to place an auction notice. (Note that a recent straw poll
revealed that many readers are not happy seeing auction notices on
r.r.swap - post such notices at your own risk! If you fail to append
"FA" and "eBay" in your subject line, you will surely be flamed.)

Thanks for the link, however, in this case "FS" would still be appropriate,
however "eBay" was left out...

I'm sorry, what part of
"With the new online auction service, eBay, we ask that you include

choose to place an auction notice." wasn't clear?

Well, if you managed to click the link, you would see that it is NOT an
auction; there is no bidding involved... What part of that don't you
understand?

The reason being is some people here don't use or want to use eBay
(i.e. they don't have an account). so by using FA:, these people can
filter these messages and not see them.

The FAQ is pretty straight forward and clear.

That, and it's keyword spamming. unless you know of a HAM radio that
mike will work on.
