I've had so many replies about this "snap.trade.com" website.  As I =
thought, it was a SCAM!  I want to thank each and every one that =
responded with info on what is nothing more than a bunch of crooks =
trying to prey on people bidding on equipment or other things on ebay.

What they do is get your email from ebay when you bid and tell you that =
they have a similiar item and will sell it to you at a very low price.  =
It is tempting, but having lost some money in a coal mining scheme when =
I was quite young, it taught me a very painful lesson.

This scam was to sell me three (3) new FT-1000 MP -IV's shipped to my =
address for $1400.00. =20
