Does anyone have knowledge of or experience purchasing from this supplier? They sell mostly NIB or completely restored vintage radios and accessories and always have some real beauties.

If you Google them you'll find a link to their store on ebay. Would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks.

Too pricey for my taste. $900.00 for radio covers? Most of those radios are available for much less.

Riverman · Feb 21, 2016

Yep. I'm retired and my pockets aren't as deep as they used to be. That Sonar FS-3023 caught my eye though. I've heard those are good radios.

Even if my pockets were deep enough I would still hunt for a better price.

Buyer Beware.

He's just a pirate who tries to prey on the uninformed and naive eBay buyer.

Yes.
Years ago he sold me a supposedly NOS Astatic D-104 microphone. The only thing that was NOS was the microphone box because the mic. was used.

Just like the old Radiomart.

his discriptions sound a lot like radiomarts

Never sell him anything, he will beat you up on the price. If you tell him to return, it will be damaged. If you let him keep it, it will from his personal collection.

Again, if the photo of the equipment shows yellow Plexiglas under it... run, don't walk away.

He won a cobra 1000 am base from me to resell. Paid, and I shipped. Said I broke E-bay rules and shipped back for a refund..Got it back with scratches in the wood covers,didn't pack properly . Got his money back. I paid E-bay and shipping..I was told because of his rateings and amount he had for sale he gets wants and I would loose anyway.He wouldn't give a poor old lady change for a dollar without a profit. BUYER BEWARE!!
