[Hallicrafters] My two cents worth

[Tracy]

I ahve to come to the rescue of a few of these people, not all. We do have
a bunch of them out there charging out of sight shipping and handling. If
you do a lot of selling and shipping but do little receiving then you must
purchase the bubble pack the peanuts ect. let me tell you that this stuff
is not cheap anymore a less you can buy a ton of it at one time, so to add
5 bucks on the average I do not mind I unstand the stuff does cost. I
myself receive more than I ship so I can recycle the packing and it does
not cost a dime. Now the other people charging 15 and 20 bux for S & H are
mostly on the aution sites where they pay for online auction by percentage
of sale so they get the 15 or 20 duty free, these are the ones you need to
stay clear of. 90& of them scour yard sales and flee markets and don't have
an idea of what they are buying and selling, take your average no nothing
about radio junkyard junkie he picks up a perfect working Tx at an estate
sale brings it home plugs it in hits the transmit button and fiddles withe
the knobs if the meter will move for him it is sold as wqorking to the best
of his knowledge. I emailed a sold called advance class from ebay selling
an old rock bound 2 meter rig and asked what it had for xtals he sent me
back an email saying he did not understand my ??. These are the people that
scare me.
