This Ebayer, to say it as nicely as possible, certainly stretches the truth to the limit in his descriptions. He says this R4C is the latest batch, while I have serial number 29029 sitting here in front of me, quite a bit later than the number he is selling, and WB4HFN's site has documented serial number 29270 which is MUCH later than mine!! Such omissions would lead me to not want to deal with him! 73, Don, WB5HAK ----- Original Message ----- From: Carey Lockhart To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 2009 2:46 PM Subject: Re: [Drakelist] RES: R4C
my own observations have shown that almost all the bad feedback this guy has had on eBay and the forums are stateside buyers. then the majority of the foreign buyers have had very good luck. i have seen for my self listing that say mint, beautiful and perfect. then the photos of the item tell a much different story. i have even asked questions about items they list with no reply. so to each his own. i think i would chose not to deal with someone who has pissed that many people off.

I have dealt three times with Radiomart at eBay and I have no complains. He also answered my questions promptly. I am more sensitive to problems then you because I am in Brazil, where import is extremely regulated. However he followed my shipping instructions to the letter and I had no issue with customs. The only remark - not necessarily bad - is that he apparently strip out every equipment's accessory and sell them separately. It was so with the Drake 2A that I purchased at ebay. The xtal calibrator was removed and sold in another auction. He sells tons of equipment and I guess problems may occur.

Fiero II W5TFW; [email protected] Assunto: Re: [Drakelist] R4C I have had only one transaction with Radiomart and it was perfectly successful.He offered a Drake RV7 in his usual glowing language. I asked a question which was promptly answered and then bid and won it. The RV7 was packed carefully and shipped quickly. On opening the box I found that the condition exceeded the glowing "sales language" and indeed it was just like new and worked beautifully. The R4C he now offers does look newer in the photographs than any I have seen,and certainly better than the two very excellent units I used to own. I have read of his bad transactions but think some are inevitable when reselling second hand equipment.I used to sell some locally in Northern Ireland about 30 years ago and was caught out a few times-usually with "like new" linears and ATU's with burned out switch contacts caused by hot switching. The important thing is that, when there are problems,things are put right with the customer promptly. That is just good business!
