[Elecraft] K3 CW Filters For Sale

[Don Wilhelm]

Jer,

I understand that this is not directly in response to your 
question/statement, but reflects the "other side of the fence"
I have been dealing with Elecraft hams since 2003.  When I do 
independent work, I normally ask that a check be send for payment.
I have done more than 700 independent repair/build/upgrade actions since 
then, and I have never had a problem with the hams I have done business 
with - and the amounts of the checks range from a low of $20 (to cover 
shipping) to over $1000 (for build of 2 fully loaded K2s).
I may change the way I operate if I am ever 'burned', but so far I have 
discovered that I am dealing with a bunch of very honest hams, and I 
continue to trust.

I suspect that you will find the same of hams offering Elecraft gear and 
'bits and pieces' here on the Elecraft reflector.  I don't know if I 
would extend that same trust to those advertizing on eHam or Ebay, but 
from my experience, most hams are quite honest.  Yes, I have seen 
reports of some horror stories, but among hams, I think you will find 
that rare.

73,
Don W3FPR
