[TenTec] Buying on EBay

[Michael Goins]

Paul,

I agree with Jon and the others. I have over 400 transactions there
over the last 10+ years, trying different gear and then selling and
trying something else, and I've never had a single issue as the vast
majority of the sellers of ham gear are hams. Having a look at their
standing lets you know if there have been issues in the past and it's
not bee any different there, for me, than using eham.net or qth.com or
any other ham site.

>>I have never had a problem with paypal... Use it all the time. On Ebay you will probably pay a little more than elsewhere.... I use the Classified on ARRL web page. Have sold radios within days and not waiting for a week or two on Ebay.

One is that I have never used PayPal and the other is the risk of getting burned. Would I be better off keeping an eye out on E Ham or QRZ? Does anyone on the list have any recent experience along these lines? Of course, I had to pass on a great deal with a fellow Montana ham a while back (Corsair II) and I still regret that. Oh well.......
