Ebay is watched all over the world and if someone really wants to
spend more than you might think is a fair price, well, it's up to
them. It's called free enterprise. I look at some of the high
prices and shake my head, but If an item is wanted bad enough,
make it so. Who is to say what an item is worth to somebody looking
for it.
ALSO, these newsgroups are nice to find stuff too, BUT, You have no
recourse if something goes wrong. Like what happens if you pay for
something and you never get it? Or if is not working as described?
Or it's beat up and not mint like the posting says? You're screwed.
True, most hams are honest but there are some chumps also.
At least on Ebay there are actions that can be done. Also, using
paypal to pay for something is great. Yes it cost a very small amount
but if you don't get your item and the seller does not have any proof
that he sent it Paypal can and does get your money back from the
sellers account.
