The feedback score is the clue. If someone has no feedback, I'm always leery. If someone has 30 feedbacks or more with 99% positive or better, you can generally expect a good deal.
These "hit-and-run" scam artists usually have no feedback, don't care if they get one negative feedback as all they are looking for is a fast thousand dollars before they leave. Caveat emptor! OTOH, one guy who sells electronic parts has over 5000 feedbacks and 100% positive rating. I buy a lot of things from him and he's one of the best. 73, Zack W9SZ On Thu, 8 Feb 2007, Charles Harpole wrote: > May everyone knows of this scam on eBay, but I just saw two identical > offerings of an Orion radio.
