Re: [drakelist] Parting out radios

[k9sqg]

Each method of buying and selling has pro and con.? The HF swap nets, the Drake 
Nets,?the Drake Reflector, and hamfests seem to build friendships between 
buyers and sellers and the transactions seem to be very, very successful.? That 
personal interaction might be a contributing factor.? I can remember most (not 
all)?of the people that I bought?things from at hamfests and on the air.? In 
contrast, the auction sites breed a certain amount of anonymity and limited 
interaction, which is somewhat counter to the spirit of ham radio, which 
includes communication.? I'm not sure I can remember anybody I ever bought 
things from on Upay, I mean eBay.? Still, one should just follow the path that 
suits them best and not force others to follow them.? Let's all enjoy the Drake 
gear!

Take it or leave it Ebay and sites like it are here to stay ... but its sad 
that the hamfests are dying away because of it. If I had the choice I would 
rather have the hamfests back.?
