[Boatanchors] Junk HRO-60

[Bob Young]

Yes those are the original photos, pre-smash from the original auction and 
it is a woman who knows absolutely nothing about radios, same seller and her 
feedback rating has not changed since then which makes me believe she may 
have been suspended for a while although I don't know that. Radio was shoved 
into a cheap single ply cardboard box after I had sent her some extra money 
for packing (at her request), the packing job was so bad UPS would not 
insure her and advised her to pack it better, she ignored them. I know this 
because they talked to me, probably so I would go after them and they 
remembered it because it was such a bad job and the woman was really pushy 
and rude (they put this a little more nicely). The radio was packed with the 
speaker and 5 coils on top of the manual which was on top of the receiver. 
When it arrived the metal cover was furrowed in the middle, the two ends 
were curling upward, the plastic round coil strip holder was broken, the 
dial would not turn unless forced then it made loud clunking noises the case 
was pushed outward. It was completely ruined, then I had to fight with her 
and finally paypal re-embursed me because of al the homework I had done, had 
proof it was her crooked negligence that had caused it. I sent it back to 
her, which is why she is abail to re-sell it, my only regret is not leaving 
negative feedback, I learned a lesson, someone is in for a rude surprise and 
a nasty cheap lying person when they try to complain about it.
