[Rich Hallman - N7TR]

I just got a reply from the guy since I was wondering about the amp
being just a few miles from me.  He is now in NY and not in Incline
Village NV...He also said he would do $4000 Buy it now if I were
interested...

I passed...

Last year I was watching eBay for a Henry amplifier. I encountered 
several scam offerings of the Henry 5K, so this does go on. In addition,

after purchasing a 3CX1200A7 tube on eBay, I received a couple of scam 
messages trying to get me to send my payment to a different person. eBay

is generally safe to use, but just be sure to follow their established 
procedures. If you get a message that doesn't look legitimate, trust 
your instincts and ignore it.
