[Boatanchors] mint radios for sale

[Glen Zook]

Not to be "picky", but mint means that the equipment
is brand new, never been used, etc.  What you have is
NOT mint, but may well be in "like new" or "excellent"
condition.  However, since you have been using the
equipment it definitely is not mint.

"Mint" is a much misunderstood term and is often
misused in selling equipment.
