Hey Irock if it works ok then 125 is a good deal for a 2950DX, I had a few used ones here and got 150 for one and 200 for the other so all is well but if it was advertised as a 2970 yea he got over
I would'nt rationalize this situation at all to make it seem ok.
The seller burned you by installing a 2970dx face plate on a 2950 that apparently has seen the "golden screwdriver" on a few ocassions. What kind of douchebag does that? I wouldn't just be "glad it works"..I'd be on that sleezebag getting my money back and then off to continue looking for the radio I REALLY wanted.
