[TenTec] Ebay Scam

[James Duffer]

I suspect your are right, out of ten items that N4VMV has bid on, seven (7) 
were being sold by KJM520.  I believe they are very close....... goes to 
show all hams aint honest.  Please notify the eBay as this is more than 
likely "shilling" and is not permitted.  If you are successful both KJM520 
and N4NMV will be become NLARU    (no longer a registered user)!!!

Who knows there may be a logical and honest explanation.....at least KJM520 
has sold several Ten-Tec items.
