[Milsurplus] ART-13 speech amp

[grasshopper]

Definitely George, I is all about the audience..  Until someone re-invents
such a site, I guess we have to be satisfied.  Only a few good hamfest left
in this area and they are always hit or miss.

Well, the same fellow who purchased the first ART-13 speech amplifer and had

it confiscated by ebigbrother's overseas shipping agent has just purchased 
the second one I had listed on eBay.  The only difference is/was that i had 
deleted "military" from the listing header.  So we will see if that word 
is/was the trigger.  It should be interesting!

EBay and all its little trivulations is definately a big pain in the ass; 
but the audience is there and things sell.  They are definately in the 
business of making money for themselves.  After years of using boatanchors 
swaplist and QTH classifieds,  often waiting forever for things to sell,  it

is nice to see things moving on eBay.  Usually on eBay, I am getting a 
better price for things even after the fees, than on the free sites.   The 
people problems are the same on eBay and the free classified sites.   But, 
it is sure stacked against the seller.  So far, so good.

73,
