Or put it up on ebay and get about half that amount back.

Looking for a Good Samaritan:
I am truly sorry for having to ask for help in this day and age when you
find it hard not to trust your fellow ham radio operator.  I need someone to
help me with an unusual task of trying to convince someone to return my
money spent on a sale of Kenwood equipment.

The person that I need help with is AA5KO
William T. Peterson
4024 Redbud Circle
Abilene, Texas 79605

Basically, I was trying to locate a Kenwood IF-232C.
I placed an ad on this net.
Bill Peterson responded, but before I could get some good advice on this
purchase I sent the money to him.  Upon finding out the real need for this
equipment, I was set straight by a member of this net. I sent an email to
Bill Peterson and asked him to reverse the sale.  He said he didn't get my
email and that he already sent the item to me.  A check of the U.S.P.S
reveals that he didn't receive the money until 3:10 in the afternoon of the
day of the alleged day in question. ( 01/28/2005)  He told me he received
the money in the morning and that he sent it out that morning also.
A check of when he sent it to me via U.P.S. shows that he sent it out the
day in question( 001/28/2005) not in the morning as he told me but later in
the day at 7:55 P.M..
I can't afford to lose $160.00 I sent him and he is unwilling to reverse
that sale.  I appeal to someone in his community to try and persuade him to
reverse the sale and return my money.  IF you check QRZ you will see that I
am a Kidney Transplant Patient and retired. I can't afford to lose this
money on something I can't use.
Also with the high cost of transplant medications I have the expense of
trying to support my daughter in law who is married to my son.  IF you check
QRZ you will note I have a son in the U.S.Army.  He is presently serving in
Iraq since October 8 and will be there 14 months.  I really can't afford to
lose this. I am very sorry and embarrassed to have to come to brother hams
for help but Bill Peterson is refusing to help me.  I wish there was some
other way.  I am retired on Social Security and need every dollar I receive.
Check with any doctor and the cost of transplant medications are very
expensive.  I guess you would ask yourself, why are you even in amateur
radio?  Well I need a hobby that I have been in long before the transplant.
I was transplanted on 05/21/1978.  I have been a ham for 27 years.  I hope
and pray that there is someone in the ham community around Abilene Texas
that would be willing to help me.  Thank you in advance for any help you
could be in this very difficult situation.  I don't ant any handouts, just
someone to reason with Mr. Peterson, who has become very belligerent.  Sorry
to bother you with my problem but I have no where else to go.
The U.S.P.S. # is ED 147620526 US ( I sent to him)
The U.P.S. # is 1ZRV85140399096494 ( He sent me)
Bottom line is the email I sent him he received long before he said he
received the money and plenty of time to cancel the sale as I asked.
Regards
Conrad
