Hi,

I had a very bad deal with Saber_Radio.


I I answered Saber_radio's for trade posting:

http://www.radioreference.com/forum...stro-saber-uhf-lots-accessories-included.html


Had had a Astro Saber UHF Model I.I got him to send me some pictures and info on the back of the radio:model no,flashcode etc.

The flashcode he gave me was for G806 IMBE APCO 25 flashed and Smartnet trunked equipped.

So I told him I had a nice Motorola Visar for trade.

Visar UHF 450-520Mhz split with charger,antenna,battery and clip.

http://www.radioreference.com/forum...fm-approved-403-470mhz-w-battery-charger.html

.
I sent off my Visar first thinking he will ship out his Astro about the same time and since lvied in my same state of Michigan.

Well,once he got it,I pm him asking for the radio he owed on his parft of the deal.He kept telling me he did'nt have a chance today to ship,etc.Day after went with him promising to ship the very next day.Then,sob story about he didn't have the money to send the radio till pay day of next Monday.Then,pm him and no response.I was getting worried at that point.Then a few days later,he pm me telling me he was swapped with stuff etc and he will give me a free Saber secure equipped as his way of saying he was sorry for the delay.A week and a half and today,what do I get,A PILE OF GARBAGE!!@!!!

First,the antenna he sent was all chewed up looking like someone played fetch with their dog.He told me he was going to send a decent antenna.

The channel escutcheon is missing,the secure switch was attempted to be added by him with a secure switch from a Saber which does not work.Different parts.No battery contacts on the bottom of the Astro.Vol and channel knob was added from him,you guessed it,from a Saber.Again,different parts.no compatible.The Saber was garbage.The Saber looked like it was shoved into the housing after being ran over by a car.No top led etc.Does not work.DOA.Well,I parted the battery contacts from the Saber for the Astro and put a battery on.Read and write fine.But,it does not have any vol what so ever.!!!Had secure enabled in the cps so I disabled secure,still nothing.Was hacked because someone had added 48 conventional channels.Which this Astro Saber I only can do 32 ch with the A/B switch.

Oh,The radio I had to turn in off and take off the battery becuase the radio got very HOT!!!!

I pm Saber_Radio asking for my radio back or $70.00 for the radio of mine he now has about 1:35pm this afternoon.

I told him that I was not going to do any feedback and want to settle this betweeb us but then I get no response back from him and saw he last logged on about 7:30 pm today so I know he read the pm.

Saber_Radio,you need to make this deal right!!!!!!


I advise anyone not to deal with this guy.He is bad news!!!

MAKE THIS DEAL RIGHT SABER_RADIO!!


Regards,

this is why I only use EBay and PayPal. I've gotten bad deals 3 times on EBay: People selling stuff that wasn't as advertised. They would ignore my e-mails and messages, but when I file a complaint on PayPal, I'd have a reply from them the next morning.

I know it sucks to be a seller now on PayPal, since they hold your money now until the buyer gets the item, but it's still better than getting shafted because someone's idea of "decent" is different than mine.

Paypal only holds the funds if the seller is new, has had recent bad seller feedback, or Paypal feels the transaction "might lead to a chargeback".

I've never had PP hold any funds received from a buyer on Ebay, but then I've never had bad feedback left, or a chargeback of any kind.

You can get boned anywhere. I notice Saber_Radio is a new member, some others have suggested a moratorium be placed on new users on RR before they can sell/trade.

On Batlabs we don't allow new users to sell or trade until they have been around a while and contributed to the community in some way. Building a reputation can take time, but it is worth it to avoid situations like this.

I'm sorry you got a bum deal...

However as far as not allowing new people to trade... That's how I found this site... If I was unable to buy what I wanted I would have moved on.. My loss but none the less... I've been on eBay for about 10 years and have always had excellent feedback...

Don't let one new bum turn you all off on new members....

Just my .02

If you are not involved in this transaction do not post. Why is Ebay and Paypal even mention here, it had nothing to do with the OP.

Well,looks as if the Visar UHF I traded for the "JUNK PILE RADIOS'I got is longer in the possession of Saber_Radio real name Jeremy Moore of Michigan.Another RR forum member got the radio in a trade now.

So,Jeremy,I no I can't get the radio,I want$70.00 sent to me via PayPal or Moneyorder.You sent a pile of garbage.Not even good for parts likely.

I think if everyone supports me and I ask you all RR members to not do any trades or sell this Joker anything.We all need to start boycotting these scammers.

regards,

Ko

Ok.I sold off the Astro and got most of my money so I will call this a lesson learned and move on.

Of course,I still advise those who may ever deal with Jeremy Moore aka Saber_Radio that the you too likely get burned as I have if you deal with him.
