RE: http://www.radioreference.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59127

I have waited a week before posting info on my experience with this new guy trying to give him the benefit of the doubt. I bought an 800 MHz remote mount spectra from him which according to him was complete and he even said he would send me the button that was missing in the control head that was in the picture he sent. Also said that he would send me a trunking codeplug for it on cd. I was happy and included an EXTRA $5 for his troubles for burning the cd for me with the codeplug.

Few days later, a box arrived with a control head, power cable, radio, mounting bracket, speaker, & personal garbage. (old wrappers, trash, and small stacks of typing paper?)

The cd and missing button were not there as well as the speaker / ignition sense cable to connect to the remote head cable and the remote head mounting bracket. Repeated emails over the past 3 weeks have yet to produce any of the 4. So, the radio is useless to me as he will not send the speaker cable which cooincidentaly, also has the ignition sense wire which without it, the radio won't won't power on. So he has my money, and I have a door stop.

Repeated emails over the past week have been unanswered.

I've never posted bad feedback on anyone here but since he is continuing to sell items here, I feel the community needs to be aware of this new guy.

Raw deal!

Sorry to hear you got burned. There are a few, and I stress few, scammers in here. I have my run-ins in the past with some.

Thanks for the warning.

I wouldn't call him a scammer because I did get my radio, however, he didn't complete his end of the bargain and seemingly now won't. I guess I'll just have to sell it. I just don't have a legitimate use for it and I can't use it as it is.

I'm not sure how you see it, but I call it a scam since he won't answer your emails and make good on the deal.

As you said, you received a doorstop.

Jason, I'm not familliar with that radio, but can you still get the missing parts for it from a reputable dealer at a reasonable cost? That's a shame...I'm sorry you got burned...Take care and thanks for the warning!

Oh yeah, I have several spectras and and access to the missing parts, but it's the principle of the matter. I paid for several things I didn't get and even paid extra for his troubles to get the trunking codeplug on cd. Last time I do that one....

An offered refund on the missing cable and the whereabouts of my cd and missing button are still unknown. As mentioned in another thread, seller has not come through on this deal. Working with Paypal now. . *sigh*

New people shouldn't be alowed to sell on here. This would help cut down on garbage like this. Just my opinion...

(2) Scratched up mainly in the face area.
(3) LCD constract very DIM not adjustable. cannot read Display!!!
(4) Missing Base mount is hanging by one screw since it is the wrong one from some other radio.
(5) Missing Mobile mount.
(6) Missing both rubber feet on the back of the radio.
(7) Missing manual.
(8) No box.
Note :
Took Him over a week just to send the item. Money given right away via PayPal.
