I hope its ok for me to post an OFF-TOPIC query. Here is my question: Recently I was forwarded an email.....a ham offering to sell a slightly used KX3.
I had a bad experience this summer with someone who I believe was posing as a ham offering to sell something via email. It was in response to a "want-add" I had posted on Eham-swap looking for parts. I received an email a supposed ham wanted to sell me an item he claimed was almost brand new. I said thank you anyway....I'm specifically looking for parts. He emailed me 2 more times trying to get me to buy. I thanked him and repeated, I was only looking for parts. He then emailed me saying he had another unit he would sell as parts. I asked him for pictures. I never heard from him again. He was using a legitimate ham call-sign. I believe if someone on this list were selling a used KX3, it would be legit. But other forums I suspect are subject to scammers. Is there any way one can inspect an item at delivery before providing payment? C.O.D is kind of like that, but not quite. ** please no flammers ** Thanks :-] Duane - N1BBR ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
