This illustrates why I will never purchase anything on E-Bay.  I
am not a trusting soul in this instance.  We all know how fragile
these heavy old beasties are. To me it's a no brainer, If I ever have
reason to ship am R-300 pound boat anchor I will either crate the thing
Myself or have it crated and then trucked to it's destination.

There is a Ham in this area, Front range of Colorado, he my be the
most hated ham I know. He is an out-and-out crook. His favorite
trick is to go to the house of a recently dead ham to "help" the widow 
dispose of the her dead husband's equipment.  He will typically tell the 
widow that the stuff isn't worth much but he will do her a favor and haul it 
off for her. He does and then shows up at the next ham feast with all of 
this  equipment for sale.  The Widow not getting a red cent out of it. I 
intervened at one ham feast when this crook was trying to rip-off a new Ham 
with an supper high price on an Yaesu FT 101B, even in it's best day the B 
model 101 left bunch to be desired.  I rescued this young man, and took him 
over to a friend of mine who had a real clean TS-520S Kenwood, for sale at a 
fair price.  I don't think The crook liked it when I called him a horse 
thief
