[R-390] Re: R-390 Digest, Vol 40, Issue 4

[Michael Crestohl]

Technically I believe this practise is against eBay's rules as it is 
most definitely a misleading title.  However unless someone reports 
it to the eBay Police Department it will probably run through its 
course and end with a sale.

Seller's feedback is okay with several "neutrals" and four 
negs.  Negatives resulted from problems regarding packing and 
shipping; nothing about items not being as advertised.

I personally think that anyone who is knowledgeable about R-390As 
will assess this radio on its own merits and bid accordingly.  It 
looks like a nice clean original radio.  I wonder how you "misplace" 
a cover??

I would say that if you wanted a nice clean EAC and don't worry too 
much about the price this would be a reasonable buy.  However, given 
his history, I would make sure to clarify all the shipping details 
and costs first.

Then again, I am not a potential buyer as I have enough radios 
(including R-390As) to keep me amused for a long time so I am pleased 
to see that they are so popular.   It wasn't that long ago that they 
could be had for $100 or less.  It will be interested in seeing what 
it sells for.
