Is this guy legit? I notice he doesn't give a location,
hides the bidders and has some negative feedbacks.

I'm an idiot, but I think its Martyn's alter-ego. He HAS had more than
1 active eBay signon at one time.

He has a bad reputation among the lists (Boatanchors, Hallicrafters,
Collins) some have had pretty good luck with him, most have not. Buyer
Beware.

I bought a National NC-300 from him on eBay a few months ago. It was
basically as advertised, although I wouldn't call it "Excellent" as it
was described. It definitely needed some work and was badly out of
calibration and alignment. The crystal phasing capacitor was cracked,
so I had to fix that, but I don't know if that happened in shipping or
not. It was packed very well, in two boxes with a lot of styrofoam
peanut things and bubble wrap.
It took a while for him to ship it out, but when I asked him when it
was going to be shipped, he did apologize and say he had just hurt his
back badly and that he would ship as soon as possible.

If it wasn't 'Excellent' as advertised; how was it 'basically as
advertised?' Sounds like a contradiction to me.

That doesn't sound excellent at all...in fact sounds pretty bad.

It was packed very well, in two boxes with a lot of styrofoam
peanut things and bubble wrap.

I hate the peanuts; but does sound like it was well packed...all the
more reason to suspect the 'excellent' thing.

It took a while for him to ship it out, but when I asked him when it
was going to be shipped, he did apologize and say he had just hurt his
back badly and that he would ship as soon as possible.

Just to clear things up a little about my last message, when I said
"basically as advertised", I meant that cosmetically it wasn't too bad,
it had all the tubes in it, and didn't have any missing parts. It
cleaned up fairly well.
From my experience buying radios on eBay, that is a lot better than a
lot of other radios that I have received, even if it was badly out of
alignment, and I had to repair the crystal calibrator variable cap.
I don't do a lot of radio buying, but based on what I have done on
eBay, I have come to not expect very much anymore. I figure it's just
the norm, that the radio is going to need a lot of fixing and aligning.

I'm not defending this guy, but I'm just saying that the radio I bought
from him wasn't any worse than the average radio I've received. Maybe
I've just had a streak of bad luck. (Or that I don't bid high enough to
get the good ones.)
