[ICOM] IC781 STATION FOR SALE

[Graham Shortreed]

Hi John.
This is the real deal. I've been a ham since 1975. My previous call was VE7AVU, and I hold the calls VE7ABC, and VA7TT (used in various contests).  I can understand your concern.  I'm just trying to help out a fellow ham I've known for a number of years who is going through a tough time.
Any further questions, please feel to contact me.  My home phone number is 604-530-1907.
Pictures attached for you.
73..
Graham

    It's a common enough story, Paul.  A phone call to the selling 
    station should be enough to calm your worries.  As for red flags, 
    this doesn't wave any more than any other at-a-distance 
    transaction.  I have worked with Graham and found him to be no more 
    suspicious than the rest of us.  :)

    That being said, it behooves anyone considering such a transaction to 
    perform their due diligence before moving forward.  That's not 
    because Graham's actions are suspicious, but that's just the kind of 
    world we live in.  With the world economy tanking, a lot of our 
    amateur brothers and sisters are down-sizing their stations and 
    living arrangements.

    That doesn't mean you shouldn't be cynical, Paul, but I would suggest 
    you channel that cynicism into the normal caution required of any 
    transaction of this magnitude.

    Best of luck to Graham and Jim and everyone else finding themselves 
    in similar circumstances.

  I would walk away- I lost $3000 a few years back to the same situation Ic-781. The seller was a crook, the sale was a complete scam. It had to be a ham because he knew too much about the 781. Your concerns are well founded. I wish I had walkeded away. Its not worth the risk.
