Just want to give a heads up to the group if you buy ham radio gear on eBay. Beware of an eBayer by the name "greater_adventures". He had a Kenwood TM-742A for sale and I bid on it and won. The description claims the item was located in Sylmar; so if that's true it shouldn't take that long to get dropped off at the post office and sent to West Covina. Even if the seller had to pack it up and dropped it off Saturday, it should have been here by now.
Hindsight being what it is, I should've taken a long hard look at this person before really committing to buy this radio. He only has 16 feedback and 2 of them are from this month, pinning this person as a scammer. I know, I know, "caveat emptor". Lesson learned. I started the grievance process with eBay this morning, so we'll see if I get any response from the seller. Thankfully I bought it with PayPal, so I should hopefully be protected.
