Done! 

This is an elecraft list, not one for solving all this injustices in the world 
or anything else. I'm done here and perhaps when a moderator wakes up and is 
prepared to moderate all this junk I'll subscribe again. 

If you wanted a lesson in how to reduce a valuable resource to worthless, then 
you just gave it.

Well, for one thing, if he bought his K-line new Elecraft should be able to 
verify that much. I would think that other hams who live in that area and 
know him could confirm or deny whether this is a legitimate posting.

Per one of Jim K9YC's follow ups "the original post to Tower Talk was by 
W4GMH, who said he was posting it "to help out one of the local guys."

Anyone know W4GMH to confirm things with him?

On another subject, it's sad that our society/world has deteriorated to the

Re: [Elecraft] Fwd: [TowerTalk] Elecraft package for sale

2014-12-12 Thread Bayard Coolidge, N1HO via Elecraft
I realize that this topic has been beaten to death, but I wouldlike to point 
out one factoid. Down here in Florida - I'm down inthe southeastern part, and 
AK4EH is way up in the Panhandle -there have been a number of instances in 
which homeownerswere unpleasantly surprised to discover that their properties 
werebeing offered for rent (or, even, sale!) by unknown/unauthorized third 
parties.
There's been a huge upheaval in the real estate market here, generallyspeaking, 
and a lot of people have been buying properties for cashbecause they don't want 
to endure the hassles of getting a mortgage.Problem is, they're not performing 
what lawyers (and business owners)call "due diligence", and end up at closing 
to discover that they'rehanding money over to someone who doesn't own the 
property. Oops.Same sort of thing is happening with rentals - folks put down a 
deposit,and start to move in, only to be faced by the local constabulary witha 
drawn firearm, at which point they realize that that great deal they goton the 
Internet was totally bogus.
So, yes, there is always room for suspicion, sadly enough, and for thereasons 
that others have voiced in this thread, as well as other reasonsthat may not 
have come to light yet.
Just my 20 millidollars' worth

2014-12-12 Thread Lynn W. Taylor, WB6UUT

Why wouldn't they?

If someone tries to take them up on the offer, they can give some excuse 
(like "already sold").


If someone sees that as a sign that it's legitimate, and sends payment, 
then it's a win for the scammer.


Remember that it costs very little for a scammer to do something like 
this, and since they have almost nothing invested, only a few have to 
pay off.


This one is worrisome.  I've seen that first sentence too many times, 
followed by a tale about my recently departed relative and his estate.

De Tom, AK4EH,

I sincerely hope my request is not overbearing for you at this time. 
After a great deal of thought and planning, I have decided to offer 
my radio station for sale because of the below circumstances. Since I 
trust that you may be able to contact other hams who could be 
interested in my listing, I turn to you for assistance.
The below complete Amateur Radio Station equipment listing is for 
equipment that has been in a climate controlled office, dust levels 
maintained to a minimum, and a non-smoking environment. I prefer to 
sell the complete system at one time, rather than piecemeal.
My QTH is 192 Patton Street, Crestview, Florida 32539; Phone number 
is (850) 902-0302. Anyone who holds a valid Amateur Radio Operator 
License may schedule an appointment for operation of all the listed 
equipment according to their class of license. Interested parties 
must show their license and enter call sign, operation 
times/modes/freq’s in my logbook.
Declining health, owing to debilitating illness and disability, has 
forced me to liquidate items that would be difficult for my wife to 
dispose of later on.
I am asking $4000 for the sum total of equipment being offered for 
sale to licensed amateur operators only. Please examine my radio 
shack to appreciate the setup that is in excellent working order.

Thank you for considering my listing.
