[TenTec] Buying on EBay

[john ferro]

not me - i've been ripped off numerous times on qth - never ripped off on ebay and if i wasn't happy with something on ebay i always had recourse. dealing directly with hams is also nothing but a hassle - they are the cheapest, "no money in pockets" group of people i have ever dealt with. please no flames remember i am a ham, but it is true.
