This car just sold for $522 dollars on EBay

Let me just say this about that. You cannot believe everthing "on the surface" of Egag. There are plenty of ways to get out of this deal, and we'll likely never know.

Years ago I bought an expensive piece of test equipment known commonly as an "r.f. service montor" and at the time the one I "won" was worth a bit more---but not a lot more---than what I won it for on egag. The seller was up in Can-uh-duh. I ponied up the International money orders and sent the thing up there registered. I also learned a bit about the non-cooperating between U.S. and Canook postal agencies.

In any case he claimed he never got the money, even though somebody signed for it, and never sent the item. I filed and collected on the money orders. Some time later, HERE CAME THE ORIGINAL UNOPENED envelope in the mail, with the money orders inside. It had gone EXACTLY to the confirmed address given.

I'll TELL you what happened.

The seller, over a beer:

"Sold that IFR monitor, for XXXX bucks"

"**** I'LL GIVE YOU YYYY bucks for it right now"

"DAMN!! OK, you get the money you got a deal!"

"What about the ebay guy"

"Oh, I can get rid of HIM"

By the way this was a Canadian radio amateur, I know his callsign and where he lives, and could not do a damn thing about it

One of these girls, worth a bit over a grand, at the time
