Thought you all might be in for a good laugh.

A few weeks back, I sold a guy a FT101, it was advertised as not 
working, told him that it did receive ok but there was no output in 
transmit. So he bought it.  Today I get an e-mail from him complaining 
to me that he sent it to Yaesu for repairs, and they told him that it 
would cost $389.00.

I responded to him, telling him that he has no business buying 30 year 
old radios that do not work, if he is not able to work on it himself, 
further I told him he needs to  just buy new radios if he is not able to 
work on them. Also I mentioned that $389.00 for the factory to repair 
the radio is not all that much.

Am I wrong? just wanted others thoughts.
