Garey Barrell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang

I hope this isn't going to deteriorate into another 50 messages about
what a bad guy he is.......
Obviously he has been less than honorable in some of his descriptions,
but with over 6000 transactions he still has less than 3% dissatisfied
customers. Most businesses would kill for a reputation like that. It's
obvious he sells AND buys on EBay, and definitely has a hucksters
talents, not to mention an ad-writer's expertise. The fact is that he
offers a LOT of Drake gear, and has done the work of unearthing it and
placing it where someone who might want it can find it. Like it or not,
this is probably the biggest single factor in the success of EBay. Most
people don't have the time to search for the one item they want by going
to garage sales, hamfests, flea markets and/or watching EBay minute by
minute.
Personally, I have bought two or three items from him, and while I admit
I was careful to ask for and receive his "high resolution" photos of the
only equipment I bought from him, and specifically confirmed that the
item in the photo was the item I was bidding on, I found him quick to
respond to messages. After the auction, I paid, the item was packed
properly and shipped promptly.
The other items were smaller, less complicated, but again were as
described, packed properly and shipped promptly. Perhaps I've just been
lucky, but I can't complain.
Regardless, I think there have been enough dire warnings to caution
anyone who might be tempted to deal with him, to be careful. I've also
bought items at hamfests which I found were not quite as described when
I got them home!!

I would advise refraining from personal attacks on this list. I also
suggest that you avoid legal exposure that this kind of thing
provides. If you feel compelled to inform us of a potential problem
with sellers on ebay, you might make an indirect reference such as "a
certain celler who states that everything is Excellent."
Just my 2cents.
