Anytime you buy something worth a pretty penny at a hamfest, get the
seller's callsign and contact phone number. Don't know how many times I've
had to contact hamfest sellers after the sale about broken items that were
well advertised as "working perfectly". Many times you come across some
insane deals, but you'd be surprised how much lying and deception occurs at
hamfests especially with stuff that works, but has tons of little problems
you don't realize until after you get home.
