Hummm. This guy may have used one of RM's pics in the listing. Check the
feedback, not much radio stuff, mostly football tickets.
Hard to say, but the guy is in Kentucky, and does seem to use similar
wording.
Though IIRC, someone else a while back had some radio stuff to sell, and
not knowing any better, decided to make his listings look like RM ones
because he gets top dollar for his stuff.
One notable difference is the auction was clearly missing a profit
center by offering "free shipping".

Yeah it's the pic and also the use of the word 'cleansed' in the description.
It has 'Radio-Mart' written all over it.
Perhaps this is 'Radio-Mart's' ticket buying and selling operation, but then one
wonders what the purpose was in listing this radio through that sellers ID?

This unlucky guy got screwed by both Radio-Mart (RM) and
gottahaveit1995, the Radio-Mart (RM) alias. Otherwise, he would have
perfect feedback.

Another guy with perfect feedback except for Radio-Mart (RM).

Radio-Mart (RM) strikes again!

Captain, sensors picking up approaching negative feedback!
Full reverse!!!
I think I see a pattern here. ;-)
Maybe, Radio-Mart forgot which ID he was planning to scam somebody
with on that item?

And after being burned by Radio-mart once, he turns around and goes
back for more witin days. I'd like to meet this guy's wife.
What raises some questions, is that Radio-mart's common mode here, is
to post a complaint of 'not-so-nice-feedback,' while keeping both his
auctions and feedback profiles private. Rendering further investigation
impossible.
While there are actually legitimate reasons for keeping an auction
private, this pattern of feedback hostility without any avenue of
confirmation would be reason alone to avoid doing business with Radio-mart.

I'd like to be a fly on the wall when the buyer saw that his "COLLINS"
R-390a was really a MOTOROLA.
The pics are gone now but the link was

Well, before you get too concerned, you have to realize that although
the radio was "originally" *designed* by Collins (thus making it a
"Collins Original" as stated by the seller) and that Collins did build
many, the gummint let contracts to several other companies to *build*
the radios to Collins specs in later years, including Motorola and
Helena Rubenstein (yes, *that* Helena Rubenstein). However, technically
speaking, it is still legitimate to refer to the 390 as a "Collins"
radio no matter who built it. As Cuhulin often says, "Look it up".
And it's quite possible to have an R-390A with a Collins Serial # tag
and everything from the front panel back be from a half-dozen
contractors. If you want to have a 4 sure Collins get an R-390.
