[Milsurplus] Speaking of Selling Mil Radios

[Barry Hauser]

Hi Dave

Looks good!  You might add something about getting some inside photos, if 
the seller feels they can safely remove covers or take the chassis out of a 
cabinet, etc.  You can point out that it is sometimes necessary to check 
inside prior to shipment anyway, in case something is loose and might fly 
around and cause inside breakage.  Often it's a good idea to remove and 
bubblewrap the tubes, etc.

But it's the inside shots so the bidders can get a better idea as to whether 
the unit is complete or has any mods that don't show from the front panel.

There should also be a guide on how to pack the stuff and shipping 
methods -- e.g. it ain't goin' parcel post if it weighs more than 70 lbs. 
Maybe someone else can do that one.  I wrote an issue of the Hollow State 
Newsletter on the subject -- Issue #53 available on the web site --  
http://www.hollowstatenews.com

The question is, do the uniformed sellers know to look for the guides on 
ebay?
