True, if you watch usenet ham/shortwave groups (esp
rec.radio.shortwave) you can see his behavior (under even more
E-bay identities) tracked over several years.

Even buying auction radios, painting front panels, and selling them high
he probably isn't even making minimum wage, so don't get too
riled up at his "greedy schemes" and "exaggerated claims".  I
occasionally get incensed about what I see at the E-place
(particularly if it involves chopping up good radios similar to those
from my boyhood...) but it isn't worth the effort.  I've got better
things to do with my time (like restoring the radios I've already
got!)
