[Boatanchors] Legal To Sell Or Not?

[cvest at cox.net]

Not really sure what that piece was that they bought , but sure didn't appear to me to be what they were representing it as .

Nothing illegal about buying , selling , or owning any of the equipment that you mention as far as I am aware . 

Been a ham since 1965 and haven't ever been asked to see a copy of my license to buy a piece of equipment from anyone , even the major dealers .
