Here in the UK specialised RF parts are now hard to source. Ebay has
been a Godsend for me, as has the unique knowledge people in
reflectors like this have been happy to share. Any blight on Ebay
itself may well be true for some folk, but from a personal perspective
groups like this should be encouraged to allow pointers to member's
sales of gear. As a global community we might like to have the
opportunity to bid on parts we might otherwise be unaware of.
As a buyer I have had zero issues with Paypal and Ebay. I admit I am a
much more prolific buyer than a seller though. Other people's
experiences may vary. In such a secular market I welcome pointers to
member's RF goods for sale in whatever marketplace. Hopefully this
would be respected so as not to become a free for all place to sell
none appropriate chattels. From a UK buyer tired of wasting time
scouring local hamfests for parts that members here may be selling, or
thinking of selling.
