[ForSale-Swap] Getting screwed via ebay

[RAY FRIESS]

I've had one that happened in January and it wasn't Ebay either.  It was from here.
SB 300 receiver.  Allegedly from an estate.  Guy made a deal with me for it...  a G5RV antenna and shipping costs for the receiver.   I went out and bought a brand new G5RV and shipped it to him along with 25 bucks to pay for shipping of the receiver from Alaska to here.   Regular parcel post from Alaska supposed to take about six weeks since it is sent to the lower 48 by boat...  That was back in January and here it is now the middle of April and no sign of the receiver.   Sent an email inquiring ...  he claimed he took it to the post office.  Even named the postmaster there in Alaska where he lives...

Still come home from work each day just hoping that MAYBE there will be a box with an SB 300 receiver waiting for me.   But ... not yet.  I don't really expect it to show up anymore  .... despite tales of post cards sent in World War 2 occasionally still showing up in someones mail box.
