[AMRadio] RIVER RADIO SERVICES - The Vultures resort to direct mailing

[Jim Isbell]

I didn't see it as sleazy.  All I saw was a business that was offering 
to tell you what the stuff was worth (for an appraisal fee of course) so 
that the "real" vlutures.....his/her "old friends".....wouldnt walk away 
with the plunder as is often the case.  Personally I dont need an 
appraisal, and I am making sure my wife knows what its all worth.  But 
if I had died without giving her the information I would expect she 
would be wise to seek out the advice of an appraiser prior to selling to 
the local ham community who would not argue about giving her $50 for a 
Collins 32S-1.  When was the last time you heard a Ham say, "Gee, I 
think your price is too low, let me give you four times that much."?

On the other hand, I dont think advertising a business belongs on the list.
