Since almost everything in the list is > $1000 I would think caveat
emptor would be obvious.
Now that I think about it, a list where almost everything is >$1000 is
suspicious in itself.
Enough said, I won't approve further for sale posts until it's clearly
something **THIS** group would be interested in.

I own two Io/Groups , one for support of ICOM IC-R9000 the other ICOM IC-970.
In the past couple of months I have gotten two similar "for sale" ads , one identical to the above and one prior that was a very similar structured list (different gear) and also from a "5 area" ham and both with phone numbers that did not comport to their FCC license location. I blocked both ads because the equipment did not pertain to the group focus .
The first individual I banned because there was suspicious activity with multiple changes of user ID prior to the posting. I have not banned "Gary" (yet) because I don't know if he is phony. I thought he was phony due to the IP address, but I need to check further in that regard.
The fact that in my case, "gary" had posted nothing prior to the advert raises suspicion. I have added a caveat emptor disclaimer to my sites on purchasing from folks using my sites.
