[TenTec] How to sell an Omni VII

[Duane Calvin]

I've sold to members of this list, and I've sold through that online auction
site and not had any bad experience with either.  Just be sure to pack well
- either the original packing that TT used, or use a few layers of bubble
wrap around the rig and put that in a box with a couple inches of "plastic
peanuts" on all sides, and you should be fine.  Describe it accurately,
including any blemishes, and then, whether you want to offer it with a trial
period or not is up to you - I've never done that on ham equipment (on
expensive musical instruments, however, I have.)  I hope this helps.

I've owned a 588AT for little over a year, it's not getting the use it
deserves and it's somewhat hard to justify letting it age on my desk.

I'd like to sell the rig, but then contemplate potential damage by the
shipping company, or someone experiencing buyer's remorse wanting to return
it for full refund three months after purchase, it seems best path is to
just let it continue to sit on the desk or box it up for the closet.

How do folks accomplish closing sale on such an expensive item without being
hounded (or worse sued) a year later by someone who burned up the finals
attempting to operate without any load?  Or being victimized by a fake money
order?  Is a hold-harmless contract of any value?  It just seems too complex
to be worthwhile.
