On eBay, ad states radio has minor ware, just tuned by radio tech, 100% operational, etc. Radio looks like it was dragged down a concrete road. The top has more deep scratches than good places on top cover. Plexiglass cover over display & digital clock is scratched beyond belief. Also, no hand mic, the radio does not work either! This is a Radio Shack TRC-459 that I paid $75 shipped. DO NOT deal with this bum. I bought 15 radios in the last month from many states. Three radios were from Florida and two from Florida were junk like this. Rest of radios from many states was excellent as represented!

Over $75, it is not worth it. He offered a refund, but I lose $35 on shipping both ways for $59 back. Who would trust him anyways once one sends a radio back to him! As for eBay? Heck, they may take his side! After all, they like new customers- it is a business. I just do not want others screwed over by the bum.

Porky4u settled to a point both of us can live with. My loss may be only $25. Guess he just did not know better or was half blind!
