[Milsurplus] Saw this on Amateur Radio Facebook page

[Ray Fantini]

Don't know about anyone else and don't intend to be telling anyone what to do but for myself am tired of all this Craig's list junk. Don't get me wrong, if you want to spend time chasing after the listing on that place don't let me discourage you. But for myself have found Craig's List to be an almost complete waste of time. Too many idiots who have no idea what they are selling, too many who somehow believe that they have found some pot of gold when most of the time its stuff that's worth almost nothing and way too many con artist. At least with EBay you have a profile of the seller and some sort of mechanism for recourse. But this latest thread appears to be Craig's list at its best, the statement that this stuff is worth at least five thousand dollars but if someone won't pay that they will just bulldoze it with the house? If it were worth five hundred don't you think someone would be pulling it out before?  Although I have no evidence of the fact have to look at this posting and think that Joel is just another Craig's list hack. But that's just me and as anyone who knows me can tell you I am often wrong.

It's made the rounds since someone someone originally posted it on the
ARC-5 list a few days back. It got re-posted to the AMRadio list where Don likely saw it and re-posted it. In the original thread it morphed into 'large shp's transmitters' or something never mentioned in the ad. More likely a rack or two or RBAs, RBBs, RBCs, RAKs etc.

It's a shame, don't let it get trashed, but if you don't give me $5000 blah blah....not a lot different than the ads that say Don't force me to put it on ebay or cut it up for parts, etc.
