[Milsurplus] U.S.N. MAK radio FS

[Hubert Miller]

I'm a believer in "instant karma"  ( per John Lennon ) and also less-instant karma. 
I could tell you of an incident where i gave something of value away and later the same day, someone found my wallet and returned it, with a couple hundred dollars 
in it untouched. Of course, yes, one anecdote does not any proof make.

I take exception to this entire line of thinking.

Just this past week I bought a component that was listed on one of the online  "For Sale" sites, and the seller emailed me to tell me that it was on the way and the tracking number at the same time he advised me of the total amount, and that I could drop a check in the mail at my 
convenience.   True, that is the exception, but I'd have to go back many 
years to find an instance where I got ripped-off vs a countless number of outstanding deals via eBay and at hamfests.  I've done the same for others.

I've always figured we reap what we sow and I've received too much help and advice over the years to let a few fools on eBay or at hamfests turn me into a grumpy old man.
