E-bay liar!
 

Since when does "mint in box" mean scuff marks, surface scratches, and date
plate being rubbed?

Sometimes it means dented, scratched, with rust and/or corrosion, with
wrong knobs and missing screws. I had the advantage of inspecting a
receiver while the seller insisted it was ALMOST MINT!

There seems to be little concept of what the word really means; but at
least the guy with the PRO-43 describes the visible damage.

E-bay is often "let the buyer beware". At least the guy seems to be trying
to make it very clear what kind of shape the thing is in, when he describes
it. His choice of words in the title was probably more to get your
attention.

The only difference between E-Bay and the DIRTY
SMELLY BUMS lying their asses off selling useless
broken crap at the hamfests of the past is one is conducted
live while the other is done in cyberspace.

.....adleast on e-Bay you don't have 2 put up with "hamfest smell" ; )

Yup ... that says it ALL in my book! eBay is for suckers and losers,
and anyone who endeavors to use it deserves every misery it can
deliver.

I agree. I never bid or buy off E-bay, but I like looking at the postings
for the "entertainment value".

Explain how he's a liar when he states right in the description the very
conditions you mention ?

Some people have WAY too much time on their hands.....

Well, 'mint in box' is not a very good way to describe a radio that has scuff marks, surface
scratches, and the date plate being rubbed.

Pretty simple.

What an ignorant, back ass statement. Hey buddy welcome to this century ebay
does millions of transactions a day and most people are happy. A good deal
may I remind you is where the seller and the buyer are happy and ebay
generally accomplishes this. If a buyer is to stupid, to do his homework or
is incapable of showing restraint in bidding well then too bad. This is a
CAPITALIST country you know.

Finally there are plenty of deals on ebay and there is plenty of money to be
made selling on it. I have never been "scammed" and using paypal or a credit
card is prudent and provides another layer of protection so, obviously you
just don't get it or are incapable of grasping that business and the way
goods are sold is changing and will change forever.
