A deal is a deal until you are burned. Then come on E-ham to gripe how you got burned. If it's too good to be true...

Oh we all know its's too good to be true............... But I'm just having fun.

BTW     I never complain on any forum.  After all, almost all the mistakes we make are our own faults for a myriad of reasons.

I would say if you are looking to piss away $80, then aside from just setting it on fire, THIS would be the best alternative for you. If your not into playing with matches then send me the $80 and I will make sure its disposed of properly. PLEASE let us know if you really do fall for this and send the $$.

That's not a good enough deal for me! I'll wait until they are FREE with FREE shipping!   ;D ;D ;D

I can't wait to read the ongoing saga of this proposed purchase.
It will be something like "Never shipped or claimed it was delivered, the terrible unresponsive seller or Ebay dragging their feet on the refund, etc, etc, etc..."

Good luck!

I got burned on a deal for a Treager BBQ grill. Got my money back but learned a lesson. Doing what you plan to do is just plain stupid, are you?
But if you make the purchase, please let all of us know the outcome, with pictures.

At least you can buy one of each for that price and directly compare the two to each other.

Go for it! ;D   Only 1 left.

Not any longer, they're all gone. And 80 bucks included FREE shipping from Greater China. If I'm not mistaken, eBay and this forum are both on Pacific Daylight Time. You wrote your message at 12:51:09 PM, so it appears the last one went to b***s at 1:39:49 PM.


I ordered one also.

If you bought one after the original post, then perhaps you're purchaser b***s?

I understand these are units that ICOM wanted to get rid of because they had minor problems and didn't want to spend the money to fix them.  IOW, this is a dumpster dive.

None of this makes sense to me. Even if the radios had problems that weren't minor, their value would run more than 80 bucks minus the shipping costs. eBay sellers could get much more than that selling them for parts only. The 7300s made for use in Japan typically run in the 800 dollar range, and that makes 80 bucks look like a typo. Don't know what's going on here, but it is strange. Please let us know how the purchase works out for you.

 HAHAHA!!!

 Cheap-ass amateurs looking for the deal of a lifetime. You guys are sooooooo easily manipulated & gullible it's absolutely hilarious!!! Obviously some people have never heard the phrase, "if it sounds too good to be true it probably is". Yes, you will get your money back from eBay after falling for this scam but it just shows just how truly naive & ignorant you are.   :) :) :)

 "Free Shipping"   :)

Here's the shipping cost from the country of the radios origin (Sri Lanka) to Chicago. I picked Chicago because it's kinda geographically centered. The shipping box dimensions I went with are 22"x22"x16" and a weight of 20 pounds. 

 

 I also calculated the cost of shipping for a small box with no packing. Bare bones. This came to just over $835...............SUCKERS!!!
