[Amps] Buying Stolen Tubes?

[Robert Groh]

Amen, Bill.  That was my first and last impression of the ad - why so much 
fiddling and f***ing around!  The whole story just raised my suspicion level way 
up.  As you said, you don't need a big elaborate story!  Just say you have a 
tube which was a pull from a radio station - was running full power (or 
whatever) and was just rotated out, blah, blah, blah.  No need for the story.  
Very suspicious.  And suspect. Nope, I wouldn't touch it with a 10 ft. pole.

   Unfortunately I have a relative (I know others as well) that have to tell an 
exaggerated story when none is required or the simple truth is sufficient.
The more convoluted the story is, the more likely it is a lie to cover up 
something else. 

Here is a question, why have such a convoluted story put into print while trying 
to sell something on ebay?
Is it to explain why he has the tube in the first place? Perhaps to convince the 
buyer that it is in good condtion?
A story like this raises red flags in my opinion.
