Carey, I agree that he is prone to exaggerations in his language. He is very eloquent indeed. Not much different that car sellers eloquence ! One must be very confident to state that something is in mint condition. In his case, I guess he can't even test deeply anything.
What may happen is that Americans are more exigent when buying used or antique radios. As we do not have too much offerings we may be more flexible. Also there is not many sellers that sell overseas on eBay. Well, everyone have their own experience in life.

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!
