This is a little scary because at first glance this appeared to be a good
listing with a 100% seller. The ad even included serial numbers. The "buy it
now" price was ridiculously low and the request that it be done outside of
eBay is against their rules. Plus I doubt that they would accept PayPal for
their buy it now option. The ham classified sites also have scammers
familiar with our hobby so you really have to be careful these days.

This is nothing new.  Over 40 years ago I sold a Drake 4-line to a guy
who saw my ad in QST.  The rig was in good operating condition, but he
decided to send it in to Drake for a complete overhaul/tuneup, new
tubes, etc. and subtracted the cost from what he sent me.  Basically he
got a new radio for the cost of a used one.

That's actually the only bad experience I have had buying/selling ham
gear.  Most hams are pretty honest.
